6309C04 SHSpec-302 How to Find a Service Facsimile

Apparently, there is more to know about service facs than has been
relayed, probably because it is so simple. PCs don't defend their service
facs against discovery. If you point the PC in the right direction, he will
go right to the service fac, unless you prevent it. So don't prevent it!

In assessing for service facs, there is no substitute for knowing what a
service fac is. A service fac is, first, a tremendous solution, always
aberrated, in PT, as part of the PC's environment, which, the PC believes,
would result in his survival being threatened if it were disturbed. It is
something which others keep telling the PC is wrong, causing him to assert
that it is right. This assertion of rightness is very integral and important
to the service fac. It makes the PC unauditable to the degree that he is
getting auditing only to prove that it is right. It sticks out like a sore
thumb. One could have more trouble labeling it than finding it.

The human body is a service fac, but if we used that, we would be going
for OT, and we aren't shooting for that. We are just using the service fac on
this lifetime, to get the PC auditable. So the body isn't the service fac
that we are trying to target. Having found a service fac, we don't use it to
make an OT. We are only trying to get someone auditable and to get the
constantly restimulated solutions out of the way, to clear this lifetime. On
the whole track, obviously, having a bank is a service facsimile. That
accounts for the reluctance to go clear noticed earlier, while finding goals.
"Being incapable" could still be a service fac at an OT level, if, say, the OT
couldn't tilt a planet.

But attacking this kind of service fac directly is too steep a gradient.
You could run service facs at all different levels. The concept of a service
fac is based on confusion and stable datum theory. In running a service fac,
we are attacking a solution that is a barrier to getting rid of a confusion.
You can pluck the stable datum out of the center of a confusion and thus get a
discharge of the energy of the confusion. A stable datum holds a confusion in
place. This is the reverse of using a stable datum to handle a confusion.
Charge is an electrical confusion. As long as a stable datum holds a
confusion in place, the confusion will not discharge.

Confusions are tolerable and are not always aberrative. Most have no
aberrative value, e.g. in a card game. Life is not, in itself, an aberrative
action. There has to be some force and violence involved in the confusion, or
at least a fairly real threat to survival, for it to be aberrative. The
thetan "knows" that if he ceases to dramatize a service fac, he will die. The
immediate thing someone is worried about may not be the service facsimile
itself. It could be the consequence of something else that is a service fac.
The consequence could be very hidden; the two things could have at best a
faint connection. As you take off service facs, the central one on which they
all lean eventually comes off. As you audit the case, you could get off
several before the central one comes to view. The apparent service facs lean
on the main service fac.

A rote procedure to apply to this would be a logical solution to a very
illogical area, but it is better to understand what you are doing. If the
case has been audited, you could collect a list of things that have been found
on the PC, e.g. old lists, R2-12 assessments, etc. By discussing them with
the PC and following the PCs interest, you could find some service facs. You
might have to reword some of the things you come up with, The right-wrong
bracket is always the same. The question is, "How would (the condition or
thing found) make you right and make others wrong?" The service fac is the PC;
it is something he has; it is not like an oppterm. It is something he has, to
make him right and others wrong. The PC will slop, on the auditing command.
E.g. the PC may misduplicate the auditing command as, "What would be made
wrong by it?" You don't worry about this. Let the automaticity run out.
Then re-ask your original question and get it answered.

A service facsimile is not an action. An action would be the result of a
service fac. The service fac turns on automaticities because it is an
automatic, unanalyzed solution. For this reason, you don't run it as a
repetitive process. "Automaticity" means that more answers than the PC can
articulate are arriving from the bank. When this happens, when words are
coming too fast, you know that you are getting the service fac. Throw the
question in and let the lions tear at it for awhile; let the automaticity run
out. Let "er buck when the PC starts to run. Then, when he runs out of
answers, turn it around and run it the other way, if he hasn't already done it
himself. You are trying to get rid of the avalanche of automaticity and get
TA. Also, don't overrun by insisting on more answers than the PC has, or you
can get a stuck flow. Run it permissively. It is sometimes difficult to keep
the PC answering the question, just because he is in a dissociated area. The
solution is holding back a tremendous amount of aberration, which won't as-is
as long as the solution is there. The solution just keeps accumulating mass.

The solution is always below 2.0 on the tone scale, because it is
perforce a substitute for an itsa line. The PC felt that he could not itsa
the object that he was trying to make wrong, so he dreamed up this solution as
a final solution, and that is a substitute for an itsa line. Then there is no
as-isness or itsa on the environment. Since there is no as-isness, you get an
accumulation of mass. Since it is a substitute for an itsa line, the service
fac is referred to whenever the PC refers to anything. When the solution is
below 2.0, it propounds the idea that to survive, it is necessary to succumb.
That is what it boils down to, aberrated though that is. For instance, the
solution may be not eating [as in anorexia nervosa].

The service fac doesn't even have to fit in with the guy's environment.
It is often totally hidden. You can't necessarily spot the service fac by
what the person is doing. It often goes underground, especially the very
hidden ones. Some are very obvious, too, sometimes so obvious that you miss
them. You could ask, as an L and H question, "What do you think your service
fac is?" Interest is the keynote.

The service fac is not a deliberate solution. It is a sub-awareness
automatic solution, which the person is on the verge of all the time. That is
what makes service facs easy to spot. If you've got the service fac, the PC
can't stay out of it. It has to be specific enough. You can use a
"represent" on something that is too general. You can assess the list
according to interest. The PC tends to fall into the whirlpool of the service
fac.

If the PC has a fragile tone arm, easily stuck, then you've got a service
fac, a solution there that is preventing the charge from running off. The PC
doesn't have to look at things; he's got it solved. Once you have the service
fac, get the PC to tell you how, in this lifetime, it would make him right,
etc. Don't go for the backtrack. This improves the PC's ability to get TA
action. The peculiarity of the action you are looking for is not particularly
great, compared with the peculiarity of social mores, but it is posing as
survival when it clearly isn't pro-survival. The PC will be interested in it,
and it will get TA, because it is a fixed solution. Your main interest is TA
action. Just get the mass flowing that was hanging up.

A service fac is a fixed, contra-survival solution which the person
hasn't inspected. It could even be a fixed survival solution, but then that
wouldn't interfere with auditing. However, using conduct as a criterion makes
anyone liable to be put away. A service fac is batty when compared, not to
the mores of society, but to actual survival. So you could say the following
about a service fac:

1. It is contra-survival, but poses as survival.

2. It has the PC's interest.

3. It sticks the tone arm.

4. It is always protruded into PT.

Thus any constant PTP can contain a service fac. For instance, you could ask,
"What did you come into scientology to resolve?" That is one reason that
service fac processing is beneficial. However, it is dangerous to list too
many problems on a PC, because you are giving the PC too much whatsit, while
an incomplete list will ARC break the PC. So you had better two-way comm it.
Use a friendly discussion, so you can move out of it if it gets sticky. Don't
list it. When you find an appropriate problem, find the solution in back of
it, and that fixed solution will give you the service fac. If the discussion
does get sticky, you could free up the TA again by asking for a solution that
the PC has had to each problem he mentions. Getting a fixed solution means
that you've got the service fac.

Notice that R1C and R2C are designed to strip away solutions and stable
data. Therefore, they are not likely to freeze up the TA. Find out if the PC
has run R1C and R2C. You can use this for data. You can ask what the PC
found interesting. Don't ask, "What problems would that solve?" That sticks
the TA. Assess it. Then you can get the service fac. The R3R preliminary
assessment is almost a dead-center pitch at the service fac, providing it
winds up with a statable solution. This solution should be something that makes sense to you and the PC. Getting the item with the PC's interest will give you the service fac. The level assessed will be too broad. The service fac is a magnet. You are asking for right answers, and the PC is giving you the rightest answer of all. You can even get the service fac as a non-sequitur
item on a list. So watch for service facs on any list. The fact that the
item that is a service fac is dissociated gives you a clue.

The PC will handle your session with his service fac. Eventually it
downs on you what he has been doing. Keep running service facs until you get
change in the PC and a free needle and good TA. The service fac is the source
of the PTP that the PC keeps coming to session with, so getting it saves you
all sorts of time and trouble, when you get it out of the way. Get rid of the
service fac, and over-restimulation of the case ends. This would reduce by
50% the total restimulation on the case, so cases wouldn't keep dropping
between sessions because of environmental restimulation.

Having the PC's attention on disabilities keeps his attention off the
bank. Thus a good handling of service facs increases by a hundred to one the
runability of the case. So you can now run him on a steeper gradient.
