6607C26 SHSpec-71 The Classification Chart and Auditing

Auditing means to listen and compute, and to get a result on a PC, who is
a person with aberrations and difficulties. Auditing has to be done in a
professional, standard manner. Since the beginning of Wogdom, there has been
off-beat activity going on. That is no reason to perpetuate it. "The
psychiatrist exists for the good of the society, and to Hell with the
patient." Our situation does not compare with earlier mental therapies. We
are not even trying for the same result. We are clearing people by erasing
reactive minds. Unlike psychotherapies, auditing is not a social criticism.

We know the answer to why the PC behaves the way he does. We also know
why the wog behaves the way he does. Scientology is a road out that increases
the person's abilities, taking him out of his identification of A=A=A. The
road has milestones, which we call "grades". There are also levels. On
grades, there are certain abilities gained. But these grades are not composed
of single points, despite the names given on the Gradation Chart. That is the
rough public rendition. It is really not possible to enter the upper grades
without having attained the lower grades. Trying to do so results in
disasters. The whole track falls between [Grade] V, which enables the PC to
confront whole track, and [Grade] VI, but it doesn't necessarily appear in
either, though it may.

Besides the disasters that occur from an out gradient, other disasters
come from not following standard tech. Standard tech is contained only in
HCOB's, not in any books. "If I haven't signed it, it isn't true." Some day
we will publish then all in consecutive order, all corrected. The main
bugbear of someone studying scientology is that he conceives that every time
he reads something new, it wipes out the old. This concept is based on the
fact that he didn't understand the old material that he had read in the first
place. So he doesn't realize that it can be integrated with the new material
that has just been issued. Something developed later doesn't replace
something developed earlier. The new does not wipe out the old. The old
generally correlates well with the new. There are very few corrections. One
significant correction is contained in the newly-found fact that you can
overrun things. A lot of "old"

processes "failed" because they worked so fast that the auditor didn't spot
the release point when it occurred. This accounts for the poor results of
R2-12, when it went wrong. It works very fast. We didn't know about overrun
in those days.

With dianetics, you can have one release per chain, so don't try to
escape from confronting engrams by "going release". PCs are entitled to make
rapid gains and soar on up the line. That doesn't apply to students. Like a
great singer, a student has to suffer to be great. He learns what errors can
be made by being a PC who gets messed up. Someone who has never been overrun
doesn't appreciate why it is undesirable. Getting bad auditing isn't
necessarily disastrous. It teaches the student not to give bad auditing. I
have been audited by dianetic auditors who were trained in an academy that
taught only the "bubble theory". [?]

Nothing will help an aberrated being, short of processing. "Standard
tech is a very very narrow path, and it's very easy to stray off of its
edges." It is bounded on all sides by wrong things to do, in auditing. One
wrong thing is to fail to handle PCs while auditing them. You must keep the
PC handled, in order to audit him. One way to suppose that you couldn't
handle PCs while auditing them is to think that you can't do anything about
something which is above a PC's grade.

"You can always run an advanced process on a PC as a rudiment, as
something to straighten the case out in a hurry." For instance, even though
problems = Grade 1, you can always run Level 1 as a rudiment for Level 0. In
fact [if the PC has a PTP], you had damn well better. It is not, "I'm sorry.
We can't talk about your problems, because that's Grade 1, and you are only
working on Grade 0. And at the Problems level, you may run into service facs,
e.g. the PC's lumbosis. These can give you a hard time in making a problems
release. After all, the reason why the chart is the way it is, is that the
"Gradation Chart ... is made up only [at the level of the grades] of those
things which you can't audit in the face of, and that is the genus of the
chart, ... the real reason why I found the grades, and why.... There are
certain things that, if you don't pay attention to them, prevent all progress
in auditing and in life. So therefore they must be the keys to aberration.
And That's where we got the ... chart." Only these factors have appeared as
barriers to case gain, when not handled. "These are the super barriers to the
track."

1. PTP's give rise to no TA, no as-ising, inability to concentrate,
inability to answer auditing commands, and perhaps some degree of
rising TA.

2. Missed withholds and overts cause a nattery, choppy, and mean PC.

3. ARC breaks give the PC a sad effect.

4. Communication problems lead to no communication. Unconsciousness is
a communication problem. The CDEI scale can be applied to
communication.

For instance, O/W must be a higher grade than problems, because a person could
confront having problems, when he couldn't confront an overt.

Don't think that because someone is a Grade IV release, he will never
again have out-ruds of any sort. The product you have is a gross product.
The release can last quite awhile or not. It is not gold. It is gilt, and it
can tarnish. Sometimes it turns green. It is the temporariness of this state
(which is, after all, a state of keyed-out clear) that boobytrapped the whole research line in the field of the mind. There are lower-scale harmonics of everything the thetan can do or be. The state of thetan exterior is what the Buddhists called a Bodhi. It is not a permanent state.

However, even though it is not permanent, release should not be
underrated. It is accompanied by the experience of overcoming that which the
person has been released on, and that improves his ability to confront. Also,
a bit of erasure has occurred, which desensitizes the whole thing. So the
releases made nowadays are more stable than the releases that were made in
1950. Now, we are approaching release on a gradient, and we know what grade
of release we are making.

(Always be willing to give the PC a win.)

The clear cog is, "I'm mocking it up." Clears follow the rules of life,
until they, themselves, have changed their minds about the rules. And when
they do that, of course, they are OT's. "Oddly enough, OT processes are upper
harmonics of the same things that prevent auditing, only they aren't
processes."

If you want to audit, you must handle whatever rud is out, when it's
out. If the PC at Grade IV isn't talking, he may be a communications
release, but you will get nowhere until you get him in comm. Communication is
the carrier wave of all processing.

"Someone who's a release is less likely to have out-ruds, but these
things can still occur." Having the grades doesn't mean that you won't get
ARC broken with yourself and with the auditor. If you want a good auditor at
Grades VI and VII, become one.

There are interim release points on the chart that you are probably
neglecting. Someone could get an F/N on a communications process, without
being released on every aspect of communication. So he isn't necessarily a
communications release. A lot of processes were dropped out of the lineup
that shouldn't have been dropped. You will have to use tech from another
grade, in running a grade. [At Level 0], you have valence processes as well
as the usual comm processes. You have some more complicated comm processes at
Grade 1. All along the line, there are lots of processes that someone could
be released on.

R4H = R2H (Recall an ARC break. Date it. Assess. Indicate BPC.).
CCH's were on Grade II. Also ARC processes, plus case remedies. At Level
III, you get auditing by lists and overt/ justifications. There are also
physical processes, meter dating, and cause and effect processes. Don't
ignore grades processes as rudiments.

"PCs don't ever object to auditors unless they've got overts on them," no
matter how lousy their auditing is. Pull the withhold. A PC audited over an
ARC break protests, then screams, then fusses, then gets tired, and then gets
sad and sadder. Neglecting rudiments will ruin a case. You will have to use
them on all PCs, at one time or another. Don't ever fail to notice out-ruds
or fail to put them in when they are out. That, and going non-standard, is
the only thing that could bar a person from going clear.
