Here’s a new successful way to start a practice !

All over the world auditors are succeeding. However, in some areas we understand there are auditors who can’t seem to get going. In one particular area we have heard that some auditors were working at regular jobs. What a waste! In a world without assistance, real honest assistance from anyone but Dianeticists and Scientologists, the waste of ability in these lines is practically criminal!

RUDIMENTS: One: Awareness of the auditor, the auditing room, that an auditing session is in progress. Two: Two-way communication on a casual basis. Three: The delivery of the question. Four: Communication lag. Five: The acknowledgement of the question. Six: The duplication of that exact question.

There’s no lack of willingness on the part of these auditors. It’s finance. They can’t seem to get paying preclears. And to keep on eating they go to work.

Well, we’ve got the solution to that. We’ve been running a pilot project right here in Washington and although we haven’t gotten it all the way through, the auditor we assigned this project to has now begun to look for an assistant and he has turned over a pc to the Guidance Center.

1. I. FIND A PC.

I have been alert to this problem of starting a practice for a long time and I knew that it was crucial in many quarters. Thus when I got this idea I thought that we had better make a good test of it and see what happened and if it worked out then we had our no-practice auditor right into the swing of it.

2. II. ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF THE AUDITOR.

We started this a month ago. The auditor selected had no real luck and no intensives for about two weeks and then the dam broke.

3. III. ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A SESSION: LOCATIONAL PROCESSING.

Here in essence is the project. On a three-time-a-week basis, place in the personal column of the local paper — in a city of some size — the following advertisement:

“Notice a chair in this room.” “Notice the ceiling.”

PERSONAL RELATIONS: I will talk to anyone for you about anything. Call GR 5-8906 between 4 and 6 p.m. Reverend Charles Gringle, Church of Scientology, 1899 Nevada St.

“Notice the floor.” “Notice... , etc.”

Putting in the auditor’s home phone (getting an answering service also if you want) and his own name we are now ready to go. The ad should run Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at least or seven a week if you can afford it.

4. IV. TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION RECALLING PC’S SECRETS (seeDianetics, 1955!)

We’ve already varied the wording around to test the best and the above is the one that pulled calls.

5. V. DISCUSS PRESENT TIME PROBLEM, IF ANY.

You should expect a lull. For a few days people will read it and do nothing. They’ll think it’s a code. But when it appears over and over they will see that it’s really a service and they’ll come out of their comm lag.

Now here’s the trick. DON’T charge for their service. That isn’t where you make it. You DO talk to anyone about anything FOR the caller. You go out and take trouble with his troubles. You help him patch things up with his boss or landlady or wife or the government. And you don’t charge him anything and you don’t straight-talk at him about auditing.

“Recall a moment.”

You have to hand, however, literature about Scientology. And you have, of course, your pro card (which gives your minister’s rating) and this should read, this professional card:

Hello’s and OK’s to and from any picture or blackness. Bring back the picture.

“Recall a moment.”

And you have another card:

Hello’s and OK’s any pictures or blackness. Bring back vanished pictures.

(SPLITTING UNIVERSES)

And you hold that Church meeting even if you seem to be TOO BUSY helping people to spare that hour Sunday morning. You run the service only until 11. One hour’s basic group auditing, the simplest session in the Group Auditor’s Handbook, Session I — always that. You vary it and they’ll leave after five or six sessions. Stay with it and the congregation will stay with you.

NOW you will discover that most of the calls you get are from people in trouble which is best solved by auditing. One or the other of the people concerned will be found to need it badly.

“What problem could you be to yourself?”

You give them auditing on an hourly basis. You charge $10.00 per hour and carry none of it “on the cuff.” Take it cash in advance. Guarantee nothing. Make sure you stress its spiritual slant and value. Steer clear of promising cures. AND DON’T rush them into auditing. They’ll beg for it soon enough.

“Give me another problem you could be to yourself.” “Another..., etc.”

Actually do this to be of service to Man. Try to give it away. You’ll find you can’t. Don’t use this just because it’s a “preclear getter,” it’s a lot more than that. It will put you in financial condition and get your Church going.

“What solution could you be to yourself?”

Now if several auditors in an area do this there are ways and means of settling rows amongst them. Given three local papers and three auditors doing this, agree amongst yourselves who should have which paper and run one auditor to the paper. If you are too many for this then run it all through one switchboard or phone and take watches, allot the house calls, pool the auditing and cash resulting. Or do it one group per paper.

“Give me another solution you could be to yourself?” “Another..., etc.”

Keep that “Church of Scientology” in the ads so there’s always a trademark on the stunt and it can’t be pushed into by some untrained quack psychologist or Commie psychiatrist.

Actually run that Church!

“Think a thought.” “Think another thought.”

All right, you’ll learn fast when you start it.

“... another thought, etc.”

You need this to begin. Your ordination must be in good order. With an HCA you can get that from the Founding Church. Its cost is now $18.00. You had better have one from the Founding Church or the Church of American Science or the Church of Scientology.

“Receive a thought.” “Receive another thought.” “... another thought, etc.”

Make sure you have a Church Charter. Write in to the Founding Church at 1845 “R” Street, N. W. and make your application.

(ASSIGN, INVENT, MAKE TYPE PROCESSES)

If you want we’ll send you literature. We have a handout piece at the printers into which you stamp your name and address and which advertises nothing else but you.

When you’ve got these, run your ad and begin. Don’t run your ad unless you’ve got the above straight.

“What would happen if you were apathetic?” Repeat, etc.

Now the press will contact you. The Code of a Scientologist on the subject of the press is explicit. No interviews.

“What would happen if you got angry?” Repeat, etc.

BUT sooner or later make sure you do all you can to get yourself or your group a TV spot or a radio spot to talk about the calls for help you get and keep it going steadily. Press is a via. Radio and TV are straight communication, relatively speaking. So whatever you do don’t, particularly now, fall away from that Code of a Scientologist and always act within the area of Ability Major 1, “The Scientologist — A Manual on the Dissemination of Material” which you can get from the HASI for $1.00.

APPLY TO TONE SCALE AND AWARENESS SCALE.

Now by the time you have all this started I’ll have something for you in the way of fast assists if what you’ve got isn’t fast enough for you.

In other words, wherever we can, let’s get this show on the road. We don’t care how many Churches of Scientology there are in a town. So long as there’s a leading Church. So long as they’re actually Churches. We don’t care how many ministers we have so long as they’re good auditors and good people, willing to run Churches and help their fellows.

The cost of starting all this is not high. If you’re working keep on working for a little until you get a practice started. Put your interview hours in the right place for you and work harder by putting yourself in two slots at once. If you’re not working and broke, get a job doing anything, finance your project and then cut loose from the job when you are rolling.

“Give me something you wouldn’t mind forgetting.” Hello’s and OK’s to any pictures.

Well, here goes a main all-out push across the world. We want 5,000 auditors and 5,000 Churches by 1958.

Put back any pictures. Repeat, etc.

There’s not a minister anywhere around that measures up to what the public thinks he should be able to do — except a Scientologist.

“Give me something you wouldn’t mind remembering.” Hello’s and OK’s to any pictures.

There’s no remedy for a case like busyness.

Put back any pictures. Repeat, etc.

There’s no remedy for an attack on an outfit like a full-scale offense toward Theta goals.

(STRAIGHT WIRE ON SECRETS, KNOWINGNESS)

Okay?

A. “Do you see that (large object or area such as a wall)?” “Go over to it and touch it.”

“Now look at that (another large object or area).” “Go over to it and touch it.”

Repeat, etc.

Exact spots. “Do you see that black mark on the left arm of that chair?” “Go over to it and put your finger on it.”

“Take your finger off of it.”

Do this with many precise spots.

B. “Find a spot in this room.”

“Go over to it and put your finger on it.” “Now let go of it.”

“Find another spot.” Over and over, etc.

C. “Find a spot in this room.”

“Decide when you are going to touch it and then touch it.” “Decide when you are going to let go and let go.”

Repeat, many spots, etc.

Have pc become familiar with two objects.

“Go over to the (book).”

“Look at it.”

“Pick it up.”

“What is its color?”

“What is its temperature?”

“What is its weight?”

“Put it down in the same place.”

“Go over to the (other object).”

“Look at it.”

“Pick it up.”

“What is its color?”

“What is its temperature?”

“What is its weight?”

“Put it down in the same place.”

“Go over to the (first object).”

Etc. Repeat. Run for hours.

“Mock up a (planet, man, brick, boulder).”

“Make a copy of it.”

Explain “copy” if unknown by pc.

“Make another copy of the original.”

“Make another copy of it.”

“Make another copy of it.”

“Make another copy.”

“Another copy.”

“Another.”

“Another.”

Etc. as many as pc can comfortably make.

“Now push them together and push them into the body.”

“Mock up a....”

“Copy it.”

Many copies, as above.

Have pc push them into the body.

Repeat many times.

Have pc mock up and copy as above, and:

“Throw them away — have them disappear in the distance.”

Etc. many times.

“Spot a spot in the space of this room.”

“Spot another spot.”

Etc. many spots.

“Spot a spot in the space of this room.”

“Walk over to it.“

“Put your finger on it.”

“Let go.”

Etc. many times.

Intersperse:

“How big is the spot?”

“Does it have any color?”

“Does it have any mass?”

And similar questions until spots have no mass, simply locations.

(5) “What are you looking at?”

“Make a copy of it.“

As many as pc can COMFORTABLY make.

“Push them into yourself.”

(Not the body) (Alternate with “Throw them away.”)

To do this, the pc will assume actually two or more locations at once.

“Can you find a nothingness somewhere around you?”

“Now make another one just like it.”

Have him make many like the first nothingness.

Have pc push them into himself or throw them away.

As many as the pc can comfortably make.

(6) “Locate the two upper back corners of the room (those behind pc’s body). Hold on to them, and don’t think.”

Have pc do this for at least two minutes.

Alternate with:

“Find two nothingnesses.”

“Hold on to them and don’t think.”

At least two minutes by the clock.

(7) “Let go.” “Find a place where you’re not.”

Many places.

Repeat 5, 6, 7, many times.

THE H.A.A. SHOULD BE CONVERSANT WITH ALL THE FOLLOWING: ASSIGN some INTENTIONS.

Waste, accept, INVENT:

• Wrongnesses

MAKE some TIME.

Three spots in your body. Three spots in the room (will exteriorize pc). INVENT a dangerous mock-up.

What kind of a mock-up SHOULD you put up? What kind of a mock-up COULD you put up? What kind of a mock-up should you be able to DESTROY? What kind of a mock-up could you DESTROY?

RECALL SOME SPACE. All right. Is it TOO MUCH or TOO LITTLE?

(Can be used with HELLO’S and OK’S.)

Someone who doesn’t think you’re insane. Someone you don’t think is insane (eases pc found worried).

If pc fails R1—4: What could you OCCUPY? What could you BE? In what could you PARTICIPATE?

WHO or what IS MAKING ALL THE SPACE? What is EXTERIORIZATION?

What do you want CHANGED? What do you want UNCHANGED?

OTHER PEOPLE (R2—46) to be run ONLY in railroad terminals, large bus terminals and airports. Use live people. Tell me something you REALLY KNOW about that person. What would you PERMIT THAT PERSON TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? (This process is known as “Union Station.”)

What could you say to (papa, mama, wife, husband)? What could (......) say to you?

Find something COMFORTABLY REAL. (Eases pc found uncomfortable.) Use HELLO’S and OK’S to the spots in Change of Space.

(R1—9 Creation of Human Ability)

See the space in that room? MAKE it. See the space in that (another) room? MAKE it. Alternate.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?

COGNITION IS AWARENESS OF AWARENESS. Example: An individual has been studious since age five. Preclear is run on studiousness. Preclear says, “Well, I’ll be darned!” Auditor says, “What happened?” Preclear says, “I have been studious since I was five years of age! This is remarkable in view of the fact that until this very moment I never had the slightest notion that I was being studious. Remarkable.”

This is an example of COGNITION. The awareness of awareness of a condition permits the lessening or vanishment of that condition. The awareness of awareness of a scarcity permits the lessening or vanishment of that scarcity.

Cognition is of the highest importance in processing. A process used, when it is the right process for the case, should normally bring about a cognition on the part of the preclear and when there has not been a cognition the process is not the correct process, or it has not been run fully.

The most important communication lag is the cognition lag. A process should not be left for the next higher process until there has been a cognition on the process or the considerations addressed in the process.

A process has not been the correct process or has not been run correctly, or has not been run long enough if there has not been in the preclear an increase in his ability to grant life to others and to his environment.

A. The auditor must acknowledge every answer, every command carried out, every comment, every communication, every attempt to communicate on the part of the pc. He should further invite communication wherever the preclear desires or needs to communicate.

B. The auditor must be willing to grant beingness (life) to the preclear.

C. The auditor must be alert to the pc at all times.

D. The auditor must be real to the pc at all times.

E. Cognition (awareness of awareness) is the goal of any process. The pc must be invited to impart any new cognition which he has gained during a session, or between sessions. A major cognition resulting from any process is generally a flattening of that process. The next process can then be delivered.

F. Acknowledgement is given by the auditor by the use of: “OK,” “Good,” “Fine,” “All right,” “OK, good,” “All right, fine,” etc.

G. The auditor does not use: “That’s right, I agree,” or “Yes, that’s correct,” or “Now you’ve got it,” or any such phrases denoting validation. This is not acknowledgement, but is evaluation, either the auditor evaluating for the preclear or the preclear evaluating for the auditor, neither of which are auditing situations.
