6312C04 SHSpec-326 TVD 24: Basic Auditing

     [This is a combined lecture and demonstration, to show the presence of
auditing and what basic auditing is.]

     Auditors have misunderstood what itsa is, giving rise to awful results.
They are getting their PCs to draw pictures, giving the PC nothing to do, and
handling nothing.  The place to get your basic auditing together is at Class
II.  Basic auditing handles the PC, handles the session, handles the auditing
comm cycle, and handles the meter, regardless of what else is occurring.  It
is no different at Class II than at Class IV.

     LRH has been improving his own auditing for the past few months.  Basic
auditing should be very smooth.  LRH has been improving his basic auditing in
the area of observing the PC to see when he has said all that he is going to
say, then acknowledging him.  One can play it safe by saying nothing, but that
is cleaning a clean, comm lagging, inviting more itsa when there is nothing
there.  Stringing out a bunch of unnecessary acknowledgments is also a comm
lag.  Keep the session rolling.  That is what gets good TA.  Just sitting
there listening is Level I auditing.  It doesn't work at higher levels.

     LRH found that he was causing the PC's dirty needle.  He also found that
he had to increase the PC's ability to itsa by using the meter to get
information only when the PC couldn't supply it.  He found that it is
necessary to remain silent, while the TA is in fast motion.  But one doesn't
wait after that to see if the TA will move again.  At Level VI, the motion you
get after the BD on an item is coming from the next level.

     Taking up and handling the PC's problems, at session start, during the
session, or at end of session, is part of basic auditing.

     Basic auditing is:

     1. Getting the PC to itsa.

     2. Promoting and increasing the PC's itsa, by letting the PC find data,
        not relying on the meter to do it.  However, don't give the PC the
        feeling that he is getting no help.

     3. Not talking while the TA is in fast motion, but not waiting for the TA
        to stop jumping around.

     4. Handling any PTP's at session start, as they arise, or at session
        end.

     [The TVD tape follows, with LRH auditing MSH.  The tape is intended to
show basic auditing, as well as technique.  It starts out with ruds, then gets
into a goal-oppose list.  LRH finds the PC's PT goal, finds where the PC is in
the GPM, and finds her top terminal.  He finds the wrong top oppterm.]

     Technical note:  The top oppterm of the PT GPM, unlike any other in the
whole bank, should blow up and shouldn't keep on reading.  It should just go,
and it didn't.  So the auditor knows by now that it is a wrong item, since it
didn't blow, and that the PC is "selling" it.  So here we get into a tremble
and scramble.  The PC is getting ARC breaky because the PC has a wrong item.
If you missed the itsa once, here, you would get a screaming ARC break,
because the out session rud would key in the BPC of the OT process.

     [They do some more work with the top oppterm.  PC still won't agree that
the top oppterm is incorrect.  However, they do verify the correct terminal.]

     Listing it straightened it out.  The top oppterm turned out to be "Being
disobedient".

     LRH points out the basic auditing of the session: letting the PC itsa;
not leaving the PC with nothing to itsa.  The PC should have been ARC broken
by taking the wrong top oppterm and abandoning the right terminal.

     The PC's ability to itsa is the road out.  Keep the session driven.  Keep
it going.  Take action.  Promote and increase the PC's itsa.  It is the
auditor's job to make a session out of it.
