6312C03 SHSpec-325 Certifications and Classifications

     [See HCOPL 26Nov63 "Certificate and Classification Changes: Everyone
Classified"]

     Why have we put in the classification and certification system?  The
original method of dissemination, a very successful one, was to gather a group
who "had troubles" and wanted processing, and give them some training, setting
up co-audits, and supervising them, charging a small fee for the supervision
and having them pay only for patch-up sessions, as needed.  The textbook was
The Original Thesis, distributed in mimeo.  The auditing was clumsy, but some
fantastic things would happen.

     When the Foundations were formed, not at LRH's instigation, there were
lots of bosses around, and many schools of technology developed.  They started
training on the basis of letting someone hang around for a month or so, to
pick up what was going on.  That was Parker Morgan's idea.  This started the
Academy.  These first auditors were trained to audit others, not to co-audit.
LRH taught them straightwire.  The same fault turned up here as in the earlier
group:  people wanted only to be processed, not to process anyone.  This is a
destructive action, because it denies training and dissemination and neglects
the people who keep it going.  If you want lots of auditing to do, get lots of
co-auditing going.  There are always lots of patch-ups to do.

     So the central organizations of 1950 went into the processing business.
And everybody they processed who wanted only processing and who didn't want to
give anything for it, introverted.  The purely PC person doesn't ever
disseminate, despite all his gains and ability, because he never mentions his
auditing, unless you do something wrong.  This is the phenomenon of negative
gain.  If something is eradicated properly, the PC never says anything about
it, because it is gone.  The "pure PC" remains at the effect point and needs
to be moved to the cause point, to some degree, with respect to scientology.
People who co-audit, disseminate.  A central organization can also make the
above mistake:  They can concentrate on income from the HGC and neglect
training auditors.

     Co-audits do produce a lot of randomity -- all sorts of goofs do occur,
but that means repairs, which can be done in the HGC.

     The individual who is helping someone else while he is being helped gets
his attention extroverted and introverted during the time the co-audit is on.
Life gets off the first dynamic, often for the first time.  It puts a person
in a better frame of mind to combine both flows.  Furthermore, a person can
progress only so far without an increase of understanding, which comes from
training.

     The PC starts, at Level I, with itsa, just talking about his problems,
etc.  [Assists and R1C are at this level.]

     Then he changes, gets better, and moves up to Level II, where repetitive
auditing gets used, and where it is the number of commands per unit of
auditing time that determines the PC's progress.  This principle carries
through to the highest level of OT processes.  The PC no longer gets TA from
wandering around in itsa.  So now you have to start pounding TA out of him
with smoothly run repetitive questions.  [CCH's, straightwire, and O/W are at
this level.]

     Then the PC moves up to Level III: R2H [See p. 426, above].  The auditor
has to be able to get the PC to spot things, like BPC, and if the PC has no
reality on it, he will drift around.  You may have had the idea that the
higher the process, the more it would do for the case.  Well, the process that
does the most for the case is the one that is realest to the case at his state
of case.  That is a new look, a technical revision.  The PC will get maximal
gains on the process that is the most real.  The further his case is from
optimum, the more tiny little things are real and the more big tough things
are unreal.  We were running people over their heads in 1950.  They couldn't
confront engrams, but they did fine on straightwire processes.  A PC who is
being asked for self-determined changes for a prepcheck [See Problems
Intensive procedure, p. 292, above.] may not believe that he has ever decided
to do anything.  He may need to be run on some lower-level process, like, "Get
the idea of deciding to change/not to change," until he cognites that he can
decide and, eventually, that he has decided.  It takes an educated PC to run
ARC break processes, because you are asking the PC to look at a complicated
area.  Unless he knows something about it, it is too confusing and there is
too much charge in his way.

     Then, at Level IV, we handle service facsimiles.  The service fac is a
very esoteric thing to conceive of.  The PC has to take over responsibility
for his own illness.  That is impossible for lower-level cases.  Missed
withhold running is at this level, because missed withholds take a higher
level of responsibility to run than O/W.  At this level, we also get ARC break
assessments and case programming.

     At Level V, the PC gradually starts getting reality on the idea that he
has had other bodies and other identities, with some acquaintance, at first
with the past 2500 years. [At this level, he works with implants, engrams,
whole track, and gets whole track case analysis.]

     At Level VI, the PC gradually gets reality on track, back to trillions to
the eighth power, where the earliest implants are.  [At this level, he runs OT
processes, his own (actual) GPM's, and old R3 and R4 processes.]

     Then, at Level VII, he will get reality on track back to trillions to the
200th>s.  That is a real sweep of time.  Here, he finds that one GPM will
cover from trillions 29 to trillions 21.  Dating gets crude when the numbers
are that large.  At this level, when the PC has all the bank run out, there
are various drills for OT's: Route 1, Change of Space Processing, etc.  [For
Route 1, see The Creation of Human Ability, pp. 33-43.  This includes Change
of Space processing, done in connection with the Grand Tour.  The Grand Tour
consisted merely of getting the PC to be at different places in the physical
universe.  The change of space aspect added an alternation of being at these
different locations with being in the auditing room. The PC is made to run
Change of Space on any area until that area is in PT.  This process is also
known as R1-9.] It is questionable whether any of these drills are necessary.
LRH has found that if he is exterior, all he needs to do is to itsa to an
auditor for awhile to get over feeling queasy about whether he can hold his
position in space.

     As far as we are concerned, the whole problem is one of dissemination,
smooth processing, and keeping the bridge open behind us.  The smoothest way
to do it would be to insist that the individual doesn't outstrip his training
level with his processing level.  How do you guarantee that someone will make
it all the way?  That is an important question.  There is the economic
question too.  If it would take 1500 to 2000 hours, at $10.00 per hour, just
to be processed, then even if it were possible to go OT in this way, it would
be too expensive for most people.  How much would training fees add up to?
Let's say $5000 to $6000.  That makes it more possible.  This cost could be
decreased further by requiring that each preceding course be very thoroughly
done, so that each subsequent course would be shorter.  The student would, of
course, get unlimited processing, provided he was expert enough to keep his
co-auditor.  Thus the reality level of advance is cared for, which takes care
of dissemination.

     So any HCA/HPA could train people at HAS up to Class I.  This would give
this individual a co-audit area that he could cope with.  Level II training
would be given in some district.  It would not be too expensive, nor too
long.  About thirty days is the most that most people could spend.  Then you
would have higher levels of co-audit going.  You would need textbooks for each
level, with all the relevant technology, question and answer sections, and
exams, that would really ensure that the person has got the data, etc.

     The system of the private scientology practitioner who takes people in,
processes them, and ejects them hasn't been generally successful, although a
few have done it.  This system is following a system set forth by the healing
professions, which we aren't.  It took the healing professions a long time to
get this going, anyway.  Private clubs also have privileges which are denied
to members of the public, who have "government protection".

     The certification system handles people who do the theory part of the
course, but not for classification.  Classification is shown by Roman
numeral.  If a student is studying for the next class, he can do the
processes of that class, provided that he has the next-lower classification.
But he can't do any higher processes without getting a higher classification.

     What about Class 0 and Class I?  Class 0 has to be double.  The person is
being trained for the HAS certificate, and you have to consider him a class of
some sort, going for the HAS certificate.  Then you have HAS Certificate,
Classed [Class I].  That condition doesn't occur again.  After that, the
student always has a certificate to put a class on.

     There are cases all over scientology that are parked because they skipped
one of these levels and tried to leap into upper-level processes, while still
worried about the environment.  It is true that only at the upper levels do
you really resolve what is wrong with the case.  It is also true that you have
no chance to get at that without getting what is on top out of the way.  This
also reduces the randomity and dangers connected with processing results.
