Okay. Here we go. Second lecture Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, 7 February AD 13. This - a briefer lecture. This has to do exclusively now with the mechanics of 3MX. What is 3MX, and why? It’s called ‘X’ because it’s still experimental, and therefore its designation is really Routine 3M.

We’ve-have a lecture here from my office. And this is the 7th of February 1963 and Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, lecture number one. Lecturing here in my office in front of the TV camera, and we’ve got a lot to cover here in 3MX.

Who can run it? Well, anybody that’s trained and qualified to run it. And that takes up your classification. This is a Routine 3 and a Routine 4, a Routine 3 process is run by a Class III Auditor, who, however, must get his material checked out, such as „did the goal rocket read?“ and so forth, by a Class IV Auditor.

All right. As you realize, now that we’ve gotten our materials pretty well lined up, the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course is going to be specializing in Routine 3. We’re going to do a minimum of Routine 2. And therefore it’s very much to our point to have a decent understanding of Routine 3MX, and that’s what this lecture is all about. This is the first lecture on Routine 3MX and gives us our first fundamentals.

Now, the probability is that a great deal of listing under supervision of 3MX will occur, and therefore we have to modify it and say that a Class II Auditor under the supervision of a III Auditor with the essential points checked out by a Class IV can run 3MX.

All right. If Routine 3 never went any further, and there was nothing else ever done, and nobody ever heard again of Routine 2-12A, it has served its purpose-because it has piloted the way in listing. All the rules of Routine 12A are-in listing and so forth-are followed in 3mx and it gives us a very good look at what a goal is, and what it’s all about, and how it should be listed out. So that a brand-new method here of listing out goals has been developed, and it is evidently tremendously successful.

This is a very precise process. And the main danger of all these processes is the gross auditing goof. That is the main danger of any process. This is quite remarkable the number of goofs that can be pulled in an auditing session, like somebody is marking every time the needle twitches, that’s a rock slam, fall, that’s a rock slam, so forth. That is just an asinine goof And if you and I were to get together and think of the number of goofs which we could think of, working day and night for about thirty days, we probably would not have begun to cover the goofs which can occur under the gross auditing error. These things have to be seen to be believed, and that is the basic foe of processing at large.

Now, of course, I have a subjective reality on what I’m talking about here. I also have a subjective reality on Routine 2-12A.

Pc is never required to sit in the auditing chair, you know. Everything is going along fine, and you’ve got R/Ses marked on the list, and everything seems to be just fine, except we find out that the auditor has never used an E-Meter and doesn’t have one in the session. Honest, honest, the-you can’t outguess what goofs can occur.

Probably one of the most spectacular sessions I’ve ever seen conducted, completely aside from the fact that it was conducted on me, was the session done by Mary Sue on, what was that, the beginning in the evening of - 5th February.

Now, what you have to do is be very sure that your supervision in an area is adequate and knowing, that your technical people are anxious to pass on the information and to get people so that they really can audit. And your next big hump is to make sure that bulletins which come in aren’t just read, the last paragraph, and put aside, „Well, I know that.“

Now, that was a tremendous session in terms of results. In that session we found the R/Sing item which began the goals entrance into 3MX, and just before that, completed a 2-12 package. So that the total score on that, in actual fact, the number of items found in that five-and-a-half-hour session, consisted of four 2-12A packages-that is four items-making one complete package, and four Routine 3MX items-making eight items in all in just that one session.

„Do you have bulletin so-and-so?“

Now, that at once gives you an erroneous idea of how fast you ought to audit, and is of course an open invitation for you to just grab items all over the place to make a record; and it is very bad publicity. In the first place I’m very easy to audit, and the second place, Mary Sue can audit, and in the third place this was pretty well set up. To give you some of the more gruesome details of this might be very instructive to you. In actual fact the path was not as smooth as it might have looked at first glance.

„Oh, yes, I have bulletin so-and-so.“ They didn’t add-“But I’ve never read it.“

I had a goal found back in August-the goal „to find“-and this goal failed to check out consistently, and folded up sometime in September. It was listed a bit under the old methods of listing and it didn’t get too far. In fact, today the goal-that is not today, but last week-the goal wasn’t even firing. It had collapsed completely. Nobody had seen any reads on it or anything of the sort for a long while.

You’ve got to have good bulletin checkout. You’ve got to have tape listen, and things of this character. Staff training and auditor training, and so forth, has got to be very good and very straight. This is how you get along the - around these goofs.

Well now, having done quite a bit of 2-12A on me in the past month or so, why, Mary Sue and I decided that we had better take a crack at listing this goal properly, and we did some goals research. I very often am used as a guinea pig in this particular lineup. And we did some goals research by trying to list this goal one way, and the other way, and some other way in order to make the thing spark. And that was on Sunday night, the 3rd of February-and we listed this 3MX method amongst the other methods. But no rocket reads showed up of any kind whatsoever. And Mary Sue was quite disappointed about the thing and didn’t do anything further with it.

So in actual fact it isn’t the complication of the process, or the difficulties of the process which is our biggest foe, but the relaying of the proper information with regard to the process. That is the stumbling block.

And on the 4th of February, Mary Sue started out on a long, arduous, hammer-and-tongs pound, trying to locate something with Routine 2-12A. But in actual fact that didn’t go anyplace in that particular session; we didn’t do anything with it.

Now, you’ll find perhaps there’s some chap down in lower north, southeast Bulawayo, or something of the sort, who never, never, never hands out a bulletin. He just wont let anybody see a bulletin, but hands out gratuitous information from the bulletins he has never read. Now, that kind of thing can occur.

On the contrary, I had worked out a new theoretical process which goes as follows-that if you run out the overts on people’s goals, your own goal will pop up. Sounds awfully good doesn’t it? It almost killed me.

Therefore, the liabilities of Scientology are basically those of gross auditing errors which are just unimaginably God-awful and-or ridiculous, and next to that, actually, is just no study of the information. And given those - you’ve already got good-hearted willingness on the part of auditors. Never doubt that. But given these other two items corrected, why, then you could have as complicated as a process as you wanted to have.

The truth of the matter is that as you’re listing goals you have overts on, the overts, themselves-not being given to the auditor of course, you’re just telling him what goals you have overts on-anything like that gives you nothing but missed withholds, left and right. So there were something on the order-I think-I think she listed about five hundred items-that is five hundred goals or purposes I had overts on. And to give you something very amusing, it ran about twelve missed withholds per goal. So that was five hundred times twelve, or about six thousand missed withholds-that’s in one session. That’s pretty good, isn’t it?

Now, 2-12, 2-10, apparently had a tremendous number of rules. They were just rules, rules, rules, rules, and never, never, never, and all this kind of thing, and so forth. You notice those things are boiled down.

Well, that caved in masses, and an electronic mass that I got into in Dublin keyed in, and it keyed back in thoroughly and I was frying as though I-well, I was frying as well as the dream citizen of Kennedy’s administration, you know. Totally fried, atomic fission-I was bright red, I was in terrible shape. So that was-that was really a cave-in.

Well, now I haven’t sat down and given you a long list of the exact codifications of these things, but they start to become obvious to you as you look them over. And you will shortly have a very precise rundown of this material.

So in the next session which occurred on the 5th of February, we tried to get back on the run again with 2-12A, and if you’ve ever seen nervous pcs, that was the one. I had more or less been steering this to a marked degree, but I was a very nervous pc. I didn’t want anything overlisted even one item, because the second we overlisted something just one item, in would come this fry-electronic, atomic mass, and it was really quite painful.

You’ve got lectures on it. You’ve got lots of tapes on it. Most of this material is-not all of it is on tapes, or in the last bulletin I handed out on it, and we’ve got a long way to go with this information because we’ve been waiting for this-for this breakthrough.

When I first ran into it, by the way, I became completely speechless, couldn’t talk, and the auditor went on asking the auditing question. You see, Mary Sue has been demanding a fee on this, so I-I don’t want you to think that all auditors are perfect. She’s pretty good though.

All right, there’s a breakthrough Routine 3. Fine. Some people went Clear. Then there’s this fact that this case, and that case, and the other case just didn’t quite make it, and they hung up in listing, so there must be bugs on listing.

Anyway, that thing really, really fried me, and I was very dangerously minded on the 5th, trying to keep this atomic mass off of me, and trying to keep the thing running on the rails somehow or another-and she was listing various variety of beginning lists. You see we’d already run out of all of the old lists, all the old source lists. And here’s a datum for you by the way, that we found out in all this: is you can’t go further than the four, not-not with 2-12. You can go further on 3MX than four consecutive RIs, but you can only go four RIs with 2-12A. Don’t try for that fifth one.

So I started to work on listing, and worked on listing, and I’ve been working on that for some little time. Actually, you don’t need too much new technology in order to find a goal. But the technology that was needed had to do with listing. And in 2-12, and 2-10, working with those I found the answer to goals listing. And goals listing becomes more precise and more exact than the goals listing of 2-12 and 2-10, or 2-12A. There is much greater precision connected with listing on a goal.

While we’re on it, any RI that only rocket reads that much, you see that, only about that much, tiny, little, little RI; that’s about a third of a dial, something like that. Well, this one only about so much. Anything less than a third of a dial is very dangerous. It pulls in mass like mad. Actually if you find one like that on a pc, it’s only R/Sing that much, just pat the pc on the head and say, „That’s dandy,“ and don’t have anything more to do with it. Now, just skip it, just bail out. You want to go back and find something that did R/S decently.

Now, let’s take a look at this 3MX and find out exactly what we’ve got. I just remarked here „Give me a rocket reading reliable item and I can clear the pc. Just give me one, off this case that I can make rocket read, and it is a reliable item; give me that, and somehow or another I will steer him right on down through by oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, on a „Spiral Staircase.“ And after he’s clear of his first goal we find out what it was.“ That’s remarkable, but there’s the look which you’re taking right now.

Now, in 2-12A we managed to work around a first list, and I was listing „What isn’t part of existence,“ I think „What isn’t part of existence.“ By the way, there was another test list in there I just remembered, „What aren’t you now?“ Don’t try that either, that-that’s just dynamite. But 2-12A we managed to list on, and „Isn’t part of existence“ some such list, and we wound up with an item that had a good third-of-a-dial R/S, and so forth. And at the end of the session why, on the 5th everything was very happy, and so forth.

So let’s take a look at what we have. Here then, is not a process which actually completely depends on finding the pc’s goal. More pertinently you’ve got to find a rocket reading item.

She sailed into this on the 6th, and decided she was going to complete this package on 2-12A. Well, this was a very interestingly brief package. A source list on 2-12A, you must realize, can have its item occur anyplace. The source list does not follow the rules. Now, that’s hard to cope with. That is to say, any of the R/Ses on the source list can be the R/S. You’ve got a problem here in where does it occur, because the pc’s mind is not well channeled on present time lists, and what is part of exist - what isn’t part of existence, and so forth. And in actual fact, the source list item that we got was the first item on the list. It R/Sed and she couldn’t even separate the list question out from the item for a moment or two, and then I managed to suppress it and she got that out. And she ran about a page and a half of that.

Well, supposing somebody was busily listing 2-12A and found a rocket reading item. The last-there were three rocket reads-reading items occurred on the list, and one of these still fires with a rocket read, the last one, and just one and there’s no R/S fires; it’s just that rocket read fires.

I’m looking at these lists here. I’m not tremendously familiar with them.

Now, if the auditor knew that rocket read, and it was checked out as a rocket read, the thing to do is to determine whether or not it is a terminal or oppterm, unload immediately from whatever other process one is doing and immediately go into 3MX just like that, bang. Just shift gears right there at that point because you’ve got pearls on your hands, man. Why bother with anything else because you can enter the „Spiral Staircase“ of 3MX with any reliable item which rocket reads.

Yes-here it is, „What isn’t part of existence?“ And in doing „What isn’t part of existence,“ this-can you see this now? It-it’s this list right here at the top. That’s number one, that’s number one item. You notice that R/S? All right, the list question was „What isn’t part of your existence?“ Now, that’s fine, but it, the first item, „unlimited wealth“ was there, and there-there it is. It was the item, it turned out.

Well, that’s good news. What’s the „Spiral Staircase“? That’s just oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose. And when you go off the rails go back and find an item the pc didn’t really like, extend the list, find another rocket reading item, put it on the line plot as the consecutive one to the one you want, and just go on oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, and you’re just going right straight through the GPM. You’ll get terrific relief, and terrific knockout of masses and pressures, and all this sort of thing. When you’re dealing with rocket reading items you’re not dealing with the liabilities-and if you’re dealing with rocket reading items perfectly according to the rules of Listing and Nulling now-you’re not dealing with the liabilities that you are with rock slamming items. A rock slamming item is quite a liability. You can only go around it four times. It leaves mass hanging, it does this, it does that. Oh, yes, it’s good processing, but it is susceptible to error, and it is susceptible to going off the rails.

But if you will notice, looking this over, you would list it normally, and you come down here and about eight or nine items from the top, tone arm 2.0, you have here an R/S and an R/S and a DR, and an R/S. And then you have on the reverse side of the sheet here, again you have the same one-the first one put back on the list again. This is back on the list again, and this time it gave pain. In other words, I put it back on the list. So that of course R/Sed, and then you notice here there is another R/S and an R/S-and by this time she didn’t continue on over because the mass was pulling in so tight that there was just no continuing.

Not so - not so with a rocket reading. You take an R/Sing item that goes off the rails. A rocket reading, reliable item, give me that and I can keep it from going off the rails because it will go much more precisely.

And she took that, on the 4th is when she did that, and on the 5th she took this as an item, and she ran it on around the clock, and so that we got a, a package out of this.

The GPM is made up of a greater level of precision, of course, than its locks. Its locks can be far more random.

There’s a lot of test, experimental and research lists here, one kind or another that I’m pawing through, and apparently the list I am looking for just-oh, here we are.

Therefore-therefore when you get right down to it here, and look over the situation, 3MX is actually easier to run than Routine 2-12A. You say, „Well, why not run it exclusively?“ Well, you sometimes can’t find the pc’s goal or even really get him to take much of a goals list, and their goals list go into the thousands on some particular cases unless you take some relief off the bank. So there is your purpose and function of 2-12A: it’s just trying to unburden and relieve the bank.

Now-now we come down to a test for pain or sen which is greatly superior to any test which you happen to be using. And instead of determining by pn or sen, you determine by mass. And you say to the pc, „Consider unlimited wealth committing overts,“ two or three times, and you ask him „Did it turn on any more mass?“ And he doesn’t know because he hasn’t been looking. So you say it two or three more times, „Would unlimited…“ or „Consider unlimited wealth committing overts.“ And then you Bay, „Consider committing overts against unlimited wealth. Consider committing overts against unlimited wealth.“ You say, „Did that turn on more mass?“

Now, given the pc’s goal which rocket reads, or a pc’s goal which at sometime in the past was reliably observed to have rocket read-I mean reliably observed to have rocket read, Class IV Auditor saw it-given that goal, what do you do? Well, that goal is a terminal. Therefore, you list it as a terminal only on an oppose. You must never represent a rock slamming item, you know that ‘ Well, that also applies to rocket reading items. Don’t represent a rocket reading item. That tells you at once what was wrong with four-line listing that we were doing with goals earlier. It is not as serious, but it is the same order of magnitude to represent a rocket reading item. And on some of these cases they didn’t-their goals listing didn’t survive the represent of the rocket-the representing the rocket reading item. „Who or what would have your goal?“ All right, that’s a representation of a rocket reading item; and so the individual didn’t get down to cases on the thing and there it is.

He says, „Well, yeah, there’s something out here and it started to go out from my body,“ and-and so forth. And that’s of course wrong.

Now, frankly it didn’t mess up the case. That’s one thing you can be very happy about. It might have eclipsed the goal so that you couldn’t see it anymore and it didn’t fire anymore, but you take that goal, and wording it in some way that the pc can answer, „Who or what would the goal to catch catfish oppose?“ and just list that one line, pow-pow-pow-pow-pow; if that was the pc’s goal you’re going to get rocket reads and you’re going to go right on down the line.

In other words, you tested as term and oppterm, and the one which doesn’t turn on more mass-of course these things all have a little mass associated with them-but the one that doesn’t turn on more mass is the right way it is.

Sometimes you won’t get rocket reads, but you’re certainly going to get an R/S, and you follow right on through. It’s the last rocket reading or the last R/Sing item that you get on that list. That’s the last rocket read or the last R/S that you get on that list. And that’s all you do with a goal. You complete that list, and that completes, by the way, under the same old rules that you’ve been doing with 2-12A. You’d better go beyond it about fifty just to make awful sure, because it’s not going to mess up the pc to the degree that the items themselves will mess up the pc.

If you say, „Unlimited wealth oppose,“ when it should be „Oppose unlimited wealth,“ you of course are running a wrong item. You recognize that by using it as a terminal, or using it as an oppterm, you get a wrong item manifestation. All you’ve got to do is say that the thing is a terminal when it’s an oppterm, or an oppterm when it’s a terminal-and you’ve got a wrong item. You recognize that, and the thing behaves like a wrong item.

All right, though you’re sure you’ve got this now, and this is a good R/S. Determine whether it’s a terminal or an oppterm by-ask the pc, „Which one of these lines-which one of these questions turns on the most mass or feeling on you?“ Well, we don’t care what it is. And the one that doesn’t seem to produce any action on the pc, and produces the most action on the E-Meter is the right way to. So you know now whether it’s a terminal or a - an oppterm.

So here is a test. The right way to turns on less mass than the wrong way to. Because of course a wrong item turns on mass; that’s your stable datum. The wrong item turns on mass always. You can keep that in mind.

Now, when it comes to opposing this thing, just make sure it’s right. Now, you can test anything, you can test anything with a few items, and if it tightens up the needle and doesn’t give you much TA that’s wrong way to. That’s the same way, isn’t it? Well, you try not to test these things. Just make sure that when you start to list, the needle gets looser, not tighter, and you’ve got it right way to for the oppose. And you run right straight on down, you get your last rocket reading or rock slamming item, go twenty-five beyond it. When you’ve got twenty-five beyond it, take your rocket reading-take your last rock slamming item on the list, read it to the pc, it won’t fire. Take the next to the last rocket reading item, read it to the pc, it won’t fire, and (if your list is complete, if your list isn’t complete they’ll fire), and then we take the last rocket reading item on the list, we read it to the pc and it goes phew, nice rocket read-all right, every time we read it.

Anyway, here is this very interestingly brief 2-12A package. We look on here and we see here this is „Who or what would unlimited wealth oppose?“ And of course here we start in our list as we normally would, just go right on down here with this list, on down here with the list, and only is two more items on the other side of the page. Now, that should be of considerable interest to you that a 2-12A list can be that short, because very few of them are that short. But this is the equivalent that-we talk in pages, this is the equivalent of-of course one, two and a bit, pages. Fantastically brief. So it must have been right up on top of the bank. And she did this, and this is done exactly according to the rules.

No, there’s no Tiger Drill, there’s no monkey business, there’s no rudiments, there’s nothing, you don’t do anything, you just do this, you understand. I’m getting impatient about that. I swear to Pete, you know. The most auditing that you can do on anybody, the most auditing that you can do is just the auditing I’m talking about.

Now, the rules are simply this: That you get down here, you’re listing down from the top, down, down, down, down, down from the top to the bottom of the page. You take your next page, and you’re at the top down here, and here your TA motion ceases.

If a pc ARC breaks, your list isn’t complete. I don’t care what the pc thinks, or anybody else, the list isn’t complete, period.

Now, you characters have been having an awfully, awfully hard time of it. I sympathize with you terribly. You’re going to think yourself to death someday. I-after my absence of being kicked in the head earlier a few weeks ago - I haven’t been very alert on what’s going on. And let me tell you, a rumor that there is no such thing as a still TA is more asinine than I have heard since 1950. Anybody that will take a meter-anybody that will take a meter and hold the meter on a cognition-surge basis, and every time, every time the needle ducks, duck the TA. You, you see that now. The needle does a cognition surge, so they think immediately-I tell you, you’re going to think yourself to death someday. I’m not kidding you, you know. You’re going to think yourself right straight into the grave.

Now, you can get an ARC break out of a pc by not finding any item on the list. The probability is his item wasn’t on the list. You have to go back to the earlier trick I talked about where „Find something he wasn’t quite satisfied with,“ and continue that list to get the item if you can’t complete the list you’re working on. But the point I’m making here is that ARC breaks come from the item not being there.

God give me a simple auditor who can just sit down and just list and pick up the item and pat the pc on the back and say, „That’s it.“

Now, I suppose you could goof it up this way. The auditor-this requires a considerable amount of watch-I better not go into that at the moment. You’ve got to watch your E-Meter carefully, I’ll just say that at that point.

No, no, people got to get fancy. Every time the tone arm-every time the needle goes this way, see, needle goes-so, so. Pc had a thought, see, comes back to the approximate place. Then the auditor figures out, of course, that this tone arm would have gone that way, that way, see-there we go, so therefore didn’t still tone arm. You nut. I mean I’m being very, very insulting, but when I heard about this I said, „My God, this can go on at Saint Hill, what the hell goes on in Keokuk?“ Now, that’s a-that’s an interesting question isn’t it?

What you do is just keep carrying this on, this same rule, same rule, same rule, same rule. You find out if it’s term or oppterm. You consider your first listing of it a test listing. If that tightens the needle, get off of it and get the other way around, and oppose it the other way to, in other words. And all right, that loosens the needle so you keep on then and you keep a record of your tone arm, and your tone arm, and your tone arm, and your tone arm. And you keep and record rocket reads, and R/S and whatever it is, and you get down and finally you get your last RR or R/S, we don’t care which it is. You’ve got to go twenty-five items beyond that, not twenty-one, or twenty, nineteen or something like this, you’ve got to 90 twenty-five beyond that.

Look, you don’t count the surges. A still TA is a still TA. Where have you got to put the TA in order to read the needle? Well, if you don’t have to put the TA any other place in order to read the needle, that’s a still TA. You got it?

You don’t get in any rudiments, you don’t do anything, just go twenty-five beyond that. When you’ve actually gone twenty-five beyond that, providing the tone arm motion is out, you see, why you read your last R/S, if there is one, and if there isn’t one you read-or if there is one, you read your next to the last rocket reading item, and then you read your last rocket reading item. The last rocket reading item on the list is it, that is it, bang. „Catfish,“ bang, „catfish,“ bang, „catfish,“ bang, rocket read every time. You say, „Dandy, fine, three cheers.“

Do you know there have been two or three cases out here that have been wrecked with that-wrecked with it, I’m not kidding you. Somebody just figured himself to death, see. So you quit that.

Now, supposing it didn’t? Well, that’s no time to go into fits. That’s no time to say, „On this item has anything been suppressed? On this item has anything been careful of? On this item is there anything you have failed to reveal? On this item is there anything been suggested?“ Eighteen hours later, „On this item has anything been blah, anything blah, blah, blah.“ No, you goofed, man.

You know I could probably dream up more problems for you to solve in Dianetics and Scientology than you could count in the next million years. But no, you’ve got to pick on something like this: „There is no such thing as a still TA, that’s ridiculous, a still TA.“ No, a still TA is a still TA.

Now, how did you goof? Well, actually the pc could have been thinking of one item while he said another item. So you read the one above and the one just below it, and see if they rocket read. Neither one of them rocket read. All right, that’s your first prevention.

Of course, you did something better than that today as a class. There was a member amongst us who thought that an R/S was a tick, was a fall, was a dirty read, was a rocket read-and all the pc’s items, all the pc’s lists were beefing up because the R/S was on everything. And Mary Sue got bright enough, being an old D of P to look over somebody’s shoulder and say, „What on earth do you think an R/S is?“ And anything was an R/S. So of course it looked like the pc’s lists were all beefing up.

Your next prevention on the thing is that you didn’t see the rocket read. Read that last one again. The last rocket reading item, read it again. No, still doesn’t fire. Take your pencil in hand, take your ballpoint between the thumb and forefinger and say to the pc, „Who or what would catfish oppose?“

Yes, I’m giving you-I’m giving you a bad time, but I’m giving you a bad time with malice aforethought. And that is because when I tell you something very simple like you put the pc in the chair, you say, „Start of session. Give me your goals. Now, here is the list we’re going to list, and can you answer the question?“

And the pc says, „Oh my God, no more of those.“

And the pc says yes, he can answer the question. And then he-the auditor simply sits there and writes down the items, one after the other-without tripping the pc, without spitting in the pcs face, without dropping the E-Meter, without getting in the mid ruds for yesterday, without getting in the mid ruds for tomorrow, and so forth-just finishes the list and goes through the 2-12A routine and comes up at the end of the session with a nice item, and everything is firing-and there it is. Give me that auditor please, because the evolution - the evolution which you go through as an auditor is very interesting.

And you say, „Well, all right, what’s the matter?“

The first day you confront the pc, you do everything you can think of. You’ve heard-you’ve heard of 8-C, and you’ve heard of this, and you’ve heard of auditor control, and you’ve heard of this and the other thing. The more complicated the auditor is being the less certain he is of the tools of his trade. And you can just put that down in your book. And that’s the only thing that gets in the road of Routine 2, and will get in the road of 3MX. Mark my words, it’s just somebody who really doesn’t know what he’s doing, so he’s doing everything.

And he’s pulling in mass, „It’s killing me,“ and so forth.

I heard this afternoon, with some horror, of a staff auditor in a Central Organization who couldn’t get much done because the last two-and-three-quarter hours of the session, every session, had to be taken up with the end rudiments on 2-12. Oh, no. You know how you end the session? There’s a reversal on this. If you just-if you could just end the session like you say, „Make any part of your goals? And you make any gains?“ You got the item, see. „You make any part of your goals? You make any part of your gains? All right. Fine. Now, notice the ceiling, notice the floor, notice the walls of the room. Thank you. Is it all right with you if I end the session now? That’s the end of session.“ You know, that didn’t take two hours and forty-five minutes. You know it’s infinitely better than anything else anybody’s doing. You see what I mean.

„Well, just give me a-just give me a few.“

Sabotage comes with uncertainty. If your TRs are perfect, if you can sit there and hold a pc in-session-listen to me, you don’t need any mid ruds.

All right, so he gives you a few, and you watch that needle, and that needle is going tight, tight. Well, don’t list the poor guy into the ground. It ain’t there.

You know I’ve had people right here at this desk over here. I had them sit down and say, „What’s your goal?“ Do a goals list of fifteen, you know a lot of those goals worked out. And they did a little goals list, and I’d go over the thing, and they’re happy about it and I’m happy about it, and ...

Well, if the auditor’s very green I think I would then start nulling from the last rocket reading item on down to the end of the list. I think I’d actually do that. That’s only thirty or forty or fifty items at the absolute outside, don’t you see.

Somebody was standing across the desk from me just yesterday and he said, „Do you know one of the biggest session gains I ever had, you brought me in here one day and you found something that might be my goal. And you didn’t say it was, but you, so on, and it’s the biggest session gain I ever had. Had a lot of cognitions on it,“ and so forth. Total session time-ten minutes. Total mid ruds-zero. There wasn’t even a „start of session.“ Why.? Well, he didn’t have to be told he was in-session. I was auditing him. I’m sorry, but that’s the way these things go.

There’s no reason to go earlier than that because if you saw a rocket read on the list, there is no rocket read earlier. You saw a rocket read on the list and it doesn’t fire, there’s no rocket read earlier on the list that’s going to fire.

Now, look-a-here, you can see this paper better here, all in one fell swoop. This is a list down here. I’m sorry to-to chew you out on such things as „There is no such thing as a still TA,“ because you actually just destroyed your primary indicator, don’t you see.

Now, how about this: it might be earlier on the list? Well, let me tell you if it’s earlier on the list you’ve goofed somewhere. It almost isn’t worth finding. It’s got to be the last rocket read on the list, you understand. That means an earlier list was incomplete.

Now, she got down to here-I’m not showing you these because these are mine, but I just happen to be a set of stuff that I know about on 2-12 and on 3MX. So I-I can show you very intimately and correctly exactly where these things are. All right, we come down here, we’ve got a tone arm read of 4.0 on this border here. On this border we’ve got 4.75, 4.75 and nothing moved, obviously, and there are no more reads. It’s all 4.75, 4.75, 4.75. In other words the auditor did not have to move the TA in order to read the needle, so it was a still TA. That’s all there is to that.

Now, I’d say if the auditor was awful green I’d ask him to null on down from that last rocket read. Just read each one off once and see if those rocket read. He might not have been watching.

Now, you’ll notice in all this that after you’ve gone in 2-12A, fifty items, your needle starts to tighten. Not only do you have a motionless TA, but you have a tightening needle. Now, here we go five items deep, we had an R/S. This is all still 2-12, see. We add another four or five items-we had another R/S. Four items-an R/S. About two items later-an R/S. Three items later-an R/S. Then an R/S, and an R/S, and an R/S, and an R/S, and an R/S, and an R/S, and then it skips an item and R/S, R/S, and then another R/S. You say, „This thing is hotter than a pistol.“ Well it was. That’s because the whole thing is being hit right there into the middle of the package.

Now, the point is, as you write, a rocket read is much more rapid and much less persistent than a rock slam, and you are liable to miss it. And a green, green, green auditor certainly will miss some of these rocket reads. In other words he was watching the chandelier when he should have been watching his E-Meter.

All right, and we get up here to this second column here and we’ve got an R/S, and then we’ve got another R/S, we’ve got another R/S, and then we’ve got another R/S, and then it goes two-and there’s another R/S. And there’s no R/S, and no R/S, and no R/S, and nothing, and so forth. TA has already hit its still point. Now, she’s got to list herself-her fifty items, see. So she did. Actually, it was-needle started to tighten up so that she didn’t finish off listing her fifty items on this particular thing, because it was just getting asinine. There isn’t anything going to happen. Why finish listing the things?

Now, you can’t get around that, but I hope that someday we will have an E-Meter improvement that will actually throw a reflection of the E-Meter needle on (as a shadow or something) onto the paper the auditor is writing on. And maybe by a prism, or something of the sort, that could be effected.

So it’s just a jump of that thing based on the smartness of the auditor not to list the pc into the ground. The needle is getting tighter, and tighter, and tighter, and tighter-and the TA actually has been still for quite a long time, and there’s nothing else happening here, nothing else happening-and there’s nothing else going to happen either.

That would be very desirable.

So there it is. There’s the last R/S. All right. So she says-so she says right away to the pc, she says, „Now, I’m going to read the next to the last rock slamming item-the next to the last rock slam item I’m going to read to you.“ See it’s-there’s the R-factor. She’s not going to read the pc’s item so he can ARC break, you see, and say, „It’s not my item.“

But nevertheless you can do it this other way. A lot of your writing ought to be done without looking at the paper. And that needle should never be out of the corner of your eye. In other words, as you look at the paper, even if you look up at the pc, that meter dial must be in your field of vision. So you see that thing flick, you can see it flick if it flicks. That’s the main prevention for this other thing happening.

„Well, I didn’t say it was your...“ I can hear you now. Omit the R-factor, see.

When an auditor has a little experience on this line he’d never null on down from the last rocket reading item if he didn’t find one. He’d always pull this trick: He’d say to the pc, he’d say, „Now, pc, I’ve got several items here, and, take a break-take a break here. I want to talk this over with you. I’ve got several items here, and which one of these things didn’t you think fitted very well?“

„Well, here’s the item, Joe Blow.“

„Oh,“ the pc says, „Eggs, God, I-I-I-I’m thinking now I don’t know how you got eggs on the list, you know, because it-it just doesn’t oppose the Empire State Building.“

„That’s not my item.“

And you don’t remind him, because an auditor’s always tactful. That should be part of the Auditor’s Code. He doesn’t say, „But at the time you said you knew exactly how it opposed the Empire State Building.“ You don’t do that. That’s-we leave that for the psychiatrist.

„Well, I didn’t say it was your item.“ How to not get along.

When we get him into that position, he says he doesn’t think that does, so therefore you take whatever eggs came off of, which was, „Who or what would oppose the Empire State Building?“ And the item you got was eggs.

All right. So we-all those R/Ses ended up down here with one R/S, so she reads the next to the last R/Sing item to see if it reads. It had better not. And out it goes-bang. She marks it out-didn’t read. She reads it to pc-didn’t read. No, no Tiger Drill or nothing like that.

Well, he doesn’t like eggs, so you add to that.

And then she says, „Now, I’m going to read the last rock slamming item on the list.“ Not even, „This is your item,“ see. And she reads „being homeless,“ see. She said, „That R/Ses.“

Now, don’t be so alarmed as you might be if you didn’t know this fact: There’s going to be tone arm action. Now, you tell me why there’s going to be tone arm action. We’ve loosened up the bank of course, and you’re going to get tone arm action. And by extending that list twenty-five or thirty, you’re going to get another rocket read. Take that as your item. Don’t keep badgering the pc. Bring that item down to the list, and now terminal, oppterm, whatever it is, and just carry on with your oppose, oppose, oppose.

You see she-she doesn’t do this, and I don’t do this, and you’re not supposed to do this. You sit there, „Being homeless. Being homeless. Being homeless. Oh well.“

In other words, you can get back on this „Spiral Staircase“ even when you’re hanging over the well in the middle of the stairs. You don’t want to get off of that „Spiral Staircase’ „ so don’t goof under these rules. If-only by goofing on these rules can you get in trouble. It’s a matter of you find out for sure if it’s a terminal or oppterm. If you’re not absolutely sure, you determine it by what you’re listing is not tightening the needle in the first few items, then you keep on going. You list all the tone arm action out of it. When the tone arm action no longer is showing on the thing, from that point on you are counting items.

Pc says, „Well, did it, did it, did it, did it R/S?“

And then if an RR or an R/S shows up after that tone arm action has ceased, (and that tone arm action does not include surges, cognition surges, in other words, „thinks“ that are registered on the thing. You couldn’t follow them with a tone arm anyhow. I don’t know how this theory got in that there’s no such thing as a motionless tone arm because there is) and you get this down the line, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0, it’s 4.0, all of a sudden, pow you’ve got a rocket reading item. Bang, that thing goes, just like that, pow! You write it down, RR, and YOU keep going for a little while and the pc says, „How’s it going?“

„Oh yes, yes, R/S.“

And you say, „It’s going all right. I need twenty more items.“

„Well, how big was the R/S?“

„Well, all right.“

„Oh, about a third of a dial, so forth. Let’s see now, we’ve got to get over onto this, and so forth. I don’t know if that’s your item or not.“

And you notice now, and you’ll see-if you watch that needle-you’ll see your needle start to tighten. Well, that means you’re not going to get any more on the list, but you go ahead and put those twenty items down. And then you take the last R/S if there is one, and whether there is or not, the next to the last RR and you read those to the pc. You tell him what they are, not that they’re his item, and then you take the last rocket reading item, you read it to the pc, it’s going to fire. And you say, „That’s your item,“ promptly and immediately, „Yes, that rocket reads, that’s beautiful.“

And pc’s saying, „But, gosh, do you know, that’s always what I worry about.“

All right, and don’t do something else. Keep your eye on the pc. Don’t go off and do something else. Keep your eye on the pc. When you say that last item to the pc, don’t shift the pc’s attention.

„Yeah, well just a minute, I-I’ve got to get some-get my auditor’s report written up here. Now, let’s see, let’s see, that doesn’t really seem to be your item, and so forth, because I can’t figure out the significance of it.“

Now, why don’t you read the pc’s item first, and then read the one above it? Well, because when you read that item that is the pc’s item to the pc-see, you can determine now which one is the pc’s item-and when you read that to the pc, his attention fixes on it and it is very confusing and upsetting to him to have his attention now fixed on some corny item that isn’t his. You understand that. So you don’t shift the pc’s attention after you have read to him and found the rocket reading item. You don’t do it. That’s a misdemeanor of the first water. So therefore, any tests you’re going to make are made before you do anything with that. Anything you are going to do here, do it before, that is the thing, do it before.

That would be a bad show, wouldn’t it? I hate to get this sarcastic, but I have some things reported from organizations particularly that make me hold my head in my hands. Something like this.

Now, when you read the item, keep your eye on the pc. Don’t talk, don’t write up auditor’s reports, and don’t expect him to tell you the story of his life, particularly. He’ll give you a cognition, he’ll say, „That’s it,“ and so forth. In rocket reading items-he’s liable to cognite for a half an hour on an R2-12A item, but not on a-not necessarily on a rocket reading item at all. He’ll give you pow, „That’s it.“

„Are-well here’s an item here, irresponsibility: How do you like that?“

We’ve had-been watching this out in the Z Unit now, and pow, pc says, „That’s it.“

„Oh, it-it’s all right,“ the pc said, „that’s all right, all right, all right. Always been pretty irresponsible.“

And the auditor says, „But he never cognited. He just said it was his item and that was fine.“ Well, the idiot. What more do you want? The pc says it’s his item, and of course he knows what it is. Well, but the auditor was expecting a cognition.

The Auditor Supervisor comes along and says, „Well, did it R/S?“

Now, today the pcs-wastes a half an hour of session cogniting. Well, the auditor I suppose, is very happy about that because it’s always better-easier to listen to the pc than audit. But you-it’s the uncertainty factor you’re looking for, and the darkening of the pc’s eye pouches, and so forth, that you’re looking for.

„No, no.“

You say this item, „catfish.“

We don’t know what this interlude was all about, don’t you see. We haven’t a clue. Why was he reading this item to the pc in the first place?

And the pc says, „Let’s see, catfish, catfish. Uhhhhh. What-what-what’s it supposed to oppose?“

Now, it’s just a direct positive action, and in 2-12A your rules are very direct. You take your source list-the item can appear on it anyplace-so you go over every item on the source list that R/Sed. Just make sure there aren’t two R/Sing items on the source list. Take it wherever you found it. If it’s not a big R/S don’t do a thing with it, you hear me. Scuttle it. Find out why this pc doesn’t have a big R/S. Something else has been done to this case in the past.

„Well, it’s supposed to oppose eggs.“

Now, take that reliable item, find out if it’s pain or sen, and start opposing it. Do your pain/sen test on the one that didn’t turn on more mass on „Consider committing overts against,“ and „Consider so-and-so committing overts.“ Then just start listing it.

„Eggs, catfish, hm, well, I guess I, yeah I-I-you could say-you could say that. . .“

Look, don’t get in your-your beginning/end ruds with the mid ruds on the this-ruds, on the that-ruds, and so forth-unless the pc’s fallen out of his chair, or screaming, or something like this, you see. Don’t use the tools of auditing unless you have to use them.

„Well, we’re going to list a little bit further , the auditor says, right about that point. I mean that’s all it takes.

You-how-what would you think of a plumber who went into a room and he sees an awful lot of fittings. So he gets out spanners and just work, working on all the fittings, and so forth. And pretty soon the whole place is leaking, so he gets out big spanners this time to repair it. And that’s the way you’ll go, you see. He’s got to get out sledgehammers after a while and demolish the whole works.

All right. Did his eye pouches darken? And, E-Meter again, did the tone arm fall down? When you said that item „catfish“ to him, the moment before it was at 4.0, you say „catfish“ and it goes phew, 3.25. If that doesn’t happen you haven’t got the pc’s item. You’ve goofed. That’s just the open and shut of it. I haven’t seen it yet where you had on any of these items-where you didn’t get a blowdown when you said them to the pc. That’s enough cognition for you. That’s mass blowing off like mad.

No, the pc’s sitting there, pc’s interested, you start listing-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa, bang-bang-bang-bang.

You say to him, „catfish.“ And it was 4.0, and it remains 4.0. The pc will also say, „Well I, catfish, put that on the list, catfish, that’s a funny thing, I don’t quite know whether that will oppose. No, let’s see, catfish, two catfishes, say. I guess so. Well, if you say it’s the item I guess it is.“ See, that will accompany a stuck up TA, your TA won’t blow down. You goofed. List probably incomplete. Now, what-or gross auditing error, the auditor didn’t know you were supposed to look at the E-Meter, get the read off of it. The-there’ll be something wrong if you-if you keep getting things wrong with 3MX there’s something awful wrong.

Now, some other genius around here someplace dreamed up one that you tell the pc what R/Sed. You say, „That R/Sed.“ This is an absolute invitation-a complete, utter invitation to the pc then to represent a rock slamming item. I4e’s trying to get his item on the list, so you have something like „a penurious person.“ So he says, „A penurious person.“

And it’s not good enough for you to be sitting around at a desk looking at folders. You go out and take a look at the pc and the auditor in action, and you’ll find the pc hangs by his heels from the ledge of the building blowing smoke rings so the auditor can be sure that he is now able to confront space. And that’s the direction they are auditing. Or you will find out some other damn thing, that the E-Meter hasn’t had its battery working in it for the last month.

And the auditor says, „That R/Sed,“ you know, this hope factor, see.

You’ll find something goofy that you just never think of, and it’s-I’ve seen a-I’ve seen a student here now go weeks and weeks and weeks, that nobody could get anything on, and they had to do new lists, and nobody could get anything on and they had to do new lists, nobody could get anything on, they had to do new lists; and we find out that the auditor didn’t know the difference between a dirty needle, a fall and an R/S. And so everything was an R/S, and so the guy’s lists all looked like the R/S was increasing throughout. You see how that would be.

So after that the pc says, „A cheap person, a person without any money, a person that ain’t got nothing, a-uh, a broke person.“ You see why? He’s representing a rock slamming item.

So, where you’re-with this gross auditing error don’t take-don’t take no for an answer, because, listen to me now, depend on me in this instance, you’ll find 3MX and 2-12A work by the rules of listing. And if they don’t work by the rules of listing there’s something wrong, and if there’s something wrong you’ve got to straighten it out. You’ve got to go maybe earlier to a better source item. You’ve got to do something earlier.

Actually you mustn’t even let the pc see your list. You understand? I don’t care if you’ve got to get a cardboard barrier across from you. That’s better.

Now here’s another rule. If the pc ARC breaks, go earlier. Don’t ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever start a new action. You hear that? Never, never. That is the most serious error you can do. Don’t ever start a new action on a pc that is ARC broke. Don’t ever start a new one.

Now, when you flub and don’t complete a list and read it to the pc-which you will do every now and then, the best of auditors will-the pc then, almost certainly is liable to take the next to the last rock slamming item that you read, and the last rock slamming item that you read that didn’t. And he’s almost certain, completely certain, to represent those unless you, the auditor say, „Now, that we have those, your item’s probably nothing like them. Now, just answer this auditing question, „Who or what would catfish oppose? Now, that’s all I want answered.“

We had somebody around here that was starting a new one every time the pc sneezed. „Oh well, the pc didn’t have any action here, didn’t have any action. He wasn’t getting anyplace with this list, so we started to list ‘Who or what does existence consist of?’ Well, he didn’t get anyplace with ‘Who or what does existence consist of?’ so we started to list ‘Who or what are you in contact with in church?’ But that didn’t work out very well, so then we thought of a new list, and so...“ Oh, bunk, man.

Because if he starts representing in order to get his item on the list, you are going to get a false increase of R/S. It’s going to look like it’s wrong way to, and it’s not going to list out, and you’re not going to get the item on the list. Do you understand?

ARC break-earlier. Always go back from an ARC break. You understand, that’s one of the basic, fundamental stable data you have. Pc ARC breaks, pc nattery, pc feeling sad, pc misemotional, not about his items. He’ll say, „Oh, a poor little boy. Yes, that’s a very sad item, isn’t it, Joe?“ That isn’t what we’re talking about.

All right. So those are the things you can do wrong. Let’s take a look at what you do right. You come right down the list here. You start in, here you go, you are-list and list, and list and list and list-and there are your R/Ses. The pc seems anxious. He looks at you, and so forth. You say, „There are R/Ses on the list. It’s okay.“ You do the same thing with, with 3MX. You say, „There are, there are R/Ses on the list. It’s all right.“

We’re talking about, „Oh, I feel so sad sitting here being audited. I wish you’d never started to audit me in the first place.“ We’re talking about misemotion about the auditing session. We’re talking about the pc going splat on the subject of auditing. We’re talking about this. In other words, a misemotional ARC break, go earlier. The error is always earlier. You understand?

„Oh yeah. Oh. Okay.“ And he plows right ahead.

Now, when we say earlier, how-what earlier do we want? Five minutes, ten minutes, an hour, two hours, sometimes the last session, more rarely; actually never a session a long time ago. Pcs don’t ARC break on last month’s session; they forget those. But if you keep going, and inventing new things, the pc never has a chance to recover from the ARC break because it’s all ARC break now, because nobody went that few minutes earlier to find out that a „hatrack“ wasn’t her item.

All right. You list on down your page, and keep your note of your TA over here on the side. Keep it-keep pegging it in, pegging it in, writing it down - whether you see it, oh, every five, ten items, something like that. And when it doesn’t change why you probably should make a list notation occasionally. Get on down here and all of a sudden you notice that about this place-and by the way most lists are much longer than the one I’m showing you. This is a freak list. This is a very short list. Lists usually go seven, eight, nine pages. This makes a good illustration for you. So right about this point here, tone arm motion ceases. You’ve still got a needle moving every time he cognites, you understand, but you don’t have to move the TA to keep the needle on. So for all intents and purposes you have no tone arm motion.

The auditor said, „hatrack.“ There was no R/S, gross auditing error. Pc was so pleased with the item at the time that the auditor said, „Well, all right, I’m sorry but I let her have it.“ Oh yes, that happened. It happened right here. Unbelievable!

And there we go, down the line, down the line-all of a sudden we see that R/S-ha-ha-ha, we see that R/S. It’s the last one that we got. We don’t see another one, see, we don’t see another one. We keep on going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going, so on. Actually we count from this last R/S-fifty for Routine 2-12A, and twenty-five for 3MX. Never more than twenty-five for 3MX. Never more than fifty for 2-12A. That’s fifty items after the TA stopped moving. Fifty items after the tone arm stopped moving, or after the last R/S, see-either one. But not fifty items after the tone arm stopped moving if you now have an R/S. See, your R/S cancels out the point from where the TA stopped moving on down to the last R/S-and you’ve got to have fifty items now from that last R/S. You got it?

If an item doesn’t fire it isn’t the pc’s item. That’s all. I don’t care if the pc cognites. Pcs are liable to cognite on anything. Did you ever realize that they’re all the pc’s items? I know, look over one of your own lists someday and realize that you’ve had a leaning toward every one of those terminals. They’re all the pc’s items, so sure the pc will cognite on these.

And you just list them, and the pc says, „Isn’t this getting awfully tough?“

You didn’t see an R/S, it isn’t the pc’s item. That’s all, period. And yet you can goof with magnitude by, „Yeah, well, it didn’t R/S, but, I didn’t really have a rocket read on it, you know. The pc would have been so upset if I’d said it wasn’t his item.“

And you say, „Yes, it’s getting awfully tough,“ and so forth.

Funny part of it is if you’d been watching the pc very carefully, and he had dark shadows under his eyes, if you’d been watching him very, very carefully, this would have taken place: He says, „A billing Joe, that’s my item, oh yes, yes, oh man, that’s my item, that’s a beautiful item, oh I love that item, I just love that item, that’s just marvelous. You know, I’ve always been-I’ve always been „Joey Billings’ ever since I can remember, you know.“

Count them up, you know-you know that’s twenty, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight; „You’ve got twenty-two items to go. Twenty-two, let me have twenty-two.“

You watch him. Note carefully the pouches under his eyes and the color of his complexion. Note it carefully and then say to him, „I’m sorry but that is not your item,“ and watch his face go lighter.

And the pc will sit there and snarl, and list the twenty-two for you. But nevertheless list them because every now and then he will pick up a rock slam, and then you should go on by the rock slam. Go on by the rock slam, and when you’re safely by it so that he can’t identify it, you say to him, „I’m afraid I got to have fifty more items: I’ve had a rock slam.“

In other words, when he tries to sell you an item and you buy it, you make him worse every time.

„Oh, you have. Well, fine.“ And he’ll give you the fifty more items.

So you go by the rules, and you go by nothing but the rules. And if the rules don’t fit in 3MX-there is more flexibility in 2-12A-but when they don’t fit in 3MX, boy, you’re not there.

Those are the exact rules of listing. Now, look, there isn’t any more to them-except in 3MX the difference is simply this: The difference in 3NM is just this one difference-that it’s twenty-five, not fifty-because 3MX caves in fast, and 2-12A caves in more slowly after the still TA.

You can’t even say what’s wrong because we haven’t now defined a list as complete or incomplete. We’ve defined a list as something which twenty-five - the last twenty-five items had a motionless tone arm, and there were twenty-five items after the last R/S or RR, and that is a complete list.

All right. So anyway, to get back on this other sprint. Just-I’m talking about this-not because it’s my case I’m trying to show you-because this was a research sprint and I’m trying to give you the stuff that we got out of it.

Now, that doesn’t tell you that anything else is a complete list does it? That the RR, that on that list-that is the last RR on the list, is the pc’s item, that’s that. If that isn’t it then it’s not the pc’s goal. The auditor has goofed. God knows what has happened, but it is wrong. And the error is earlier. The error is never later. That’s something that you really must learn. It’s just earlier, the error always is.

We got the rest of that package carrying it right straight on around, pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa. And that gave us four RIs, and now having four RIs, why, we were all set. That was the end of that 2-12 package, and all of a sudden Mary Sue says to herself, „R/S.“ I had a big R/S on that, but she was muttering, and she went back to this goals list that she had been listing two days before and she decided to test the R/S. She tested the R/S. She tested the one before and found that the last R/S on the list fired as it should, and simply took off and opposed it. And what did she turn up with but a rocket reading item which was an RI. And we had to go to town right at that point.

The pc just had been given an item, „dog’s breakfast.“ And he had this item, „dog’s breakfast,“ and the pc sat there and he said, „Dog’s breakfast, yeah, that’s my item, (he was propitiative that day.) Yeah, I see, ‘dog’s breakfast,’ that’s a good item. Fine, fine, ‘dog’s breakfast.’ „

In other words, the first part of the package started out with an R/S. Now, that’s the goal oppose that we were doing, you know. Now, you have to have a question there that the pc can answer. And one of the ways that a pc doesn’t answer the question is not be asked the right question. You’ve got to have goal oppose.

And you list „dog’s breakfast,“ it fired. You list the thing, and it didn’t go anyplace. And it’s just solid RR the whole way. Everything is an RR, and then all of a sudden there aren’t any RRs. You say, „What on earth is this all about? This looks different than all the rest of the lists.“ Yeah of course it’s different than all the rest of the lists; there’s something wrong with „dog’s breakfast.“

Well, that can have several wordings. There are several ways that can be worded. „Who or what would somebody or something with the goal ‘to catch catfish’ oppose?“ Well, all right, he can answer that. But he can’t answer „Who or what would catching catfish oppose?“ You understand, you got to have a question that a pc can answer. And listing that on out the line-that was the one that had been listed two days before-we’d listed, she’d listed that out and she found an R/S, and this was a proper rock slamming item - the kind you’d expect to see in 2-12.

Well, you’ve got to go back and correct „dog’s breakfast“ if you really want this straightened out. You now got to go back and correct „dog’s breakfast,“ there’s something wrong with the item. And you will find out that you’ve hit once in the blue moon situation that item twenty-six rocket read. The twenty-sixth, you just stopped one short. Once in a blue moon it’ll vary to that degree. But the error is always earlier.

Well, turning that thing-testing it for terminal or oppterm, and listing it further produced another rock slam-rock-a rocket reading item; produced another reliable item, but it rocket read. And from that moment on, opposing and using the exact same rules that we had already worked out-it was a little bit tough being audited and working out the rules at the Same time-but found out that the tightening of the needle is more rapid in the middle of the GPM than it is out on the fringes. You see, 2-12A is out on the fringes of the GPM, and when you list a goal you go right straight into the middle of the GPM, and the tightening of the needle is much more rapid. So you get something that looks like this.

This is quite interesting, pcs go on a hard sell. But the auditor who thinks the pc knows, is goofy. And the auditor who thinks the pc has nothing to tell him is also goofy. It’s „What has the pc got to tell the auditor?“

It also, apparently-I wouldn’t say so at first glance-but apparently compared to 2-12 average lists, the lists of 3MX are shorter. They are a shorter list, but they’re not lists of one or two, they’re a little longer than that. Now, here’s one of the item lists that came off of this, and here’s one of these-now we’re into 3MX, and here’s the way 3MX works.

Well, the pc can tell the auditor how he feels about things, and he can tell the auditor this, and he can tell the auditor that, and these are all quite valid. But the pc says, „Well, actually the whole trouble with this package, the whole trouble with this package, the real trouble with the package is your earliest list there, on the package, ‘Who or what would oppose Wheaties?’ That earliest list, I-that’s wrong, that’s wrong, and all the items since are all wrong.“

You ask the pc, „Who or what would consider committing overts against“-in this case-“detectives? Consider committing overts against detectives. Consider detectives committing overts.“ Say one one way two or three times. Say it the other way two or three times. Which one turned on the most mass. The pc tells you, and that’s the wrong one, so you pick the one that didn’t turn on any mass.

And then you put down five more items on the list you’re completing. The pc’s R/S goes on that list, that’s it. It’s very funny, five minutes later, why, he’s forgotten that he told you that he was going to scrap all of his items. It’s very funny.

And he says, „That’s right.“ And that is the item, so therefore it’s an oppterm, see-whatever it was.

You don’t take the pc’s advice on what to do, in other words. You take the pc’s advice on how he feels about things, but you don’t take the pc’s advice on a remedy because he’s more likely to be dramatizing his remedy than otherwise. He can’t think clearly on the subject of his own case. You can usually think far more clearly than the pc on the subject of his own case.

Oppose „Consider committing overts against detectives,“ turned on less mass, so therefore it is „Who or what would oppose detectives?“ as simple as that. So we take this and we list this right on down here, „Who or what would oppose detectives?“ We list it down against the meter.

That also occasionally has modifications. There’s-that isn’t always completely true, as witness many instances. Sometimes the pc knows very well what’s wrong. Pc has been sitting there saying, „Well, I was-we can’t list it this way, that’s all.“ And the auditor keeps on listing it that way and the pc says it can’t be listed that way.

Now, if that needle were tightening and we’re getting no TA of any kind we would come off of it because there’s something wrong. But you’re not likely to get these items as wrong as you were 2-12 items.

All of a sudden the auditor says, „Well, all right, I’ll try it the other way,“ and he tries it the other way and it’s right. This does happen.

All right, „Who or what would oppose detectives?“ And we’re listing here, pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa, we come down the line here and we’re about seven or eight down the line and we get an R/S. And then we come about ten down the line here and we have another R/S. And then we got eleven and we get, twelve is another R/S, and thirteen, fourteen. Fourteen is a rocket read. There’s your rocket read-first rocket read. And then we come down here fifteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, something like that-we have another rocket read-and at that moment TA action has ceased. It has ceased, there is no TA action.

Now, 3MX goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on the „Spiral Staircase,“ oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose, as long as you can stay on it. You’ll probably find out that you’ll run out the whole central core of the goal, and that a simple Prepcheck on the goal puts you in a position now to find the next goal. And that’s all there is to 3MX. You don’t have to do any more than that. You always prepcheck a goal before you leave it, and make sure that it isn’t reading. And make sure that it isn’t reading because it’s been squashed. You don’t want a goal not reading because it’s squashed.

And so she went on and on, and was just getting along fine with no TR action-no TA action, and almost had her twenty-five, and so help me Pete, she got an R/S on the list. So that cancelled the other twenty-five, and now she’s got to have twenty-five more; much over the pc’s dead body, you see. But gets the twenty-five more, pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa, lists twenty-five more on down.

So anyway, make a long story short, the guts of 3MX is listing, because you can do it without a goal, see. The guts is listing. Do without a goal, you can go all the way without a goal. I think that’s quite fascinating.

Now, this later thing was an effort to patch up a package. But there’s a line drawn there to show distinctly that it didn’t belong to this first package. Actually this first package was quite correct. This was just to come back as a experimental test to see which way was what. We found out you could get TA action after you’ve listed something and found it’s oppterm, you can get TA action back on it again. That’s very interesting.

But that’s only in theory. In actual fact, although there are Prehav methods, particularly with roll your own Prehav where he could probably turn up a rocket reading item without the pc’s goal, you will find that the easy way to do it is to find the pc’s goal.

All right. So, all right, she gets down here, TA’s been stopped all this time, there’s twenty-five items past this R/S. There we go, all set. Let’s go back here. Now, let’s read the last rock slam on the list, if there is one, to the pc because we know that isn’t it. But, of course, if that was rock slamming there’s still charge on this list, so there’s something wrong.

Now, how do you find the pc’s goal? Well, just the way we’ve always been finding the way-the pc’s goal. You could take-do you realize you can take any firm oppterm which is still reading on Routine 2-12, and get out of that by listing List 1 and List 6 of old 3GA Criss Cross on that oppterm-you can usually turn up with the pc’s goal. It’ll usually be goal number 1 of List 6. I mean it’s easy as that-finding a pc’s goal.

We knocked that out, and there she’s marked it X, and we come back here to the next to the last rocket read and knock that out. Read it to the pc, say it’s the next to the last. Didn’t rocket read. All right. Then we say, „Now, here’s the last rocket reading item on the list, ‘a personality.“’ And she says, „That rocket reads,“ you see. So she’s got a rocket read, she reads „a personality“ a couple of times, and that’s all set.

There-the best method of finding a pc’s goal is the first method, which is you list goals. That’s the best method. Why? Well, we’ve got several cases around here that had an awful time with goals, and they’ve had a terrible time with goals, and we’ve turned them loose on listing goals and we are absolutely fascinated. We are getting tone arm action on the goals list the like of which you never heard of The rule is list the tone arm action out of the goals list. I don’t care how long that goals list has to be to get the tone arm action out of it.

Now, you’ll find the cognitions are sometimes not as bountiful on a pc when they get rocket reading items. They sometimes merely say, „Yes, yes, that’s the item, ha-ha, yeah, of course, yep.“

Somebody said here today, „Oh, well, I have twenty pages. You mean I have to go on?“ Look, twenty pages is no goals list. I’ve seen a goals list of a hundred pages. How do you like that? So you just list all the TA action out of the goals list.

And you sit there in vain waiting for them to cognite. Hell, they cognited, it blew. What do-what do you want? What-what do you want, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma? Because you’re not going to get anything, it’s gone. But the pc knew it was his item.

Oh, I remember there was another question on TA motion. If you had some two-way comm with the pc, and the tone arm went down, and then you returned him to the list and the tone arm went back up again to where it had been before, was that tone arm action? Well, tone arm action is caused by a fixation of attention to the pc, and if you change his-change his attention and you put his attention on something else, you’re going to have that. You’re going to have tone arm action aren’t you? Well, you put it back on the list; it’s the same thing isn’t it? I mean you’ve got to go-you’ve got to ask better questions than this if you expect some idiotic answers.

Now, look-a-here, let’s-let’s get another one here now. You see how this goes. It’s quite mathematical. There’s nothing-nothing ever different in it. There’s no Variation in it. You do it the same way. And if it works any other way-you see your listing for 2-12A and your listing for 3MX are both identical. There is no difference in this listing.

Now, the best way to get a goal in actuality-because you’re going to have too much trouble as long as the goals list is charged-is just to sit there and list goals.

And if you have listed something and you’ve flubbed the dub, and it doesn’t follow the exact rules, the last rocket read doesn’t read, the last R/S on the list doesn’t R/S, somebody has goofed, see. Something you have taken it from is wrong. Your list isn’t complete. There’s something wrong, see? Your source item was wrong, something-something’s wrong. That’s the way you work this out.

Now, in 3MX it is preferred, and you’ll find out it’s much better indeed, to list goals on a meter. And you sit there and list goals on the E-Meter looking for the RRs. And you mark them down, RR. You don’t drill the goal. Pc says, „That’s my goal,“ and he screams and beats the floor with his fist, and so forth. You go on listing goals because the TA action isn’t out yet. You say, „I’ve taken good note of that. I’ve marked down the fact that it rocket read. We’ll come back to that as soon as we have finished your goals list. Okay.?“

And you watch these things, because here was a patch-up she had to do, and she was all ARC broke, so I had to come out of session and tell her that the auditor ARC broke. Everything had gone along, I think this was about the eighth consecutive reliable item-now we’re into the session of the 6th of February-and this is the 8th consecutive or 6th consecutive, or something like that, reliable item found from this goal. Everything has rocket read, she takes this personality, and she goes right in, she tests it, it works, everything works, everything is fine, everything is beautiful. She lists it and it goes down brrrrr, and you never saw so many rocket reads in your life, it’s just rocket reads, rocket reads, rocket reads, rocket reads, rocket reads, rocket reads, rocket reads. Oh, my. Action, action, action, and then suddenly no rocket reads. And we go way down, and then some rocket reads, and then down here, and then some R/Ses, and then one R/S, and then way down here, and then the twenty-five from the last R/S, and she calls off the last R/S and it doesn’t R/S. She calls off the next to the last rocket read, it doesn’t rocket read, all is well, you see. Then she calls off the last rocket read and it doesn’t rocket read.

And the pc says, „Okay.“ It’s not his goal anyway.

In a hurry then-I had to hold her hand while she’s doing this, this is nervy stuff, you know-she went back over all the RR’s on the whole list, read them all. Like to blew my bank up-nothing. You know what the rule for that is-if you cant get the item on the list-she went and extended it after that, and she still couldn’t get the item on the list-if you can’t get the item on the list, you’ve lost one someplace. It’s back of you. And that’s true of 2-12A, and it’s true of 3MX. It’s true of all listing, in other words. If you can’t get an item on the list, then there is no item to be put on the list because it’s already been found, or something like that. It’s been found elsewhere.

Here we go on down to the end. All the TA action is out of the goals list. We now go back and take those we have noted rocket read, and we test those things out to see if they still rocket read. Actually the last-if it followed the rules of 2-12A-which it probably will not because it’s too general a question. You see it’s a source list, and therefore the thing can appear on it anyplace-if it followed the exact rules it would be the last rocket reading goal on the list would be the pc’s goal. I think that will have some priority. It will be more often that goal than other times, but it could also be any of the other rocket reading goals.

But in actual fact this would have been, a catastrophe because we were listing right down the center of the GPM, rocket reading item, reliable items, one after the other, all of them following this rule: you list it all the way down to your last R/S or RR, still TA, twenty-five more items. The last rocket read is it, every time. Everything’s just going like clockwork, and then all of a sudden here’s one that doesn’t go like clockwork.

Now, you don’t go into five or six weeks of prepchecking and that sort of thing to make goals read or not read. Just go over those goals and read them to see if they rocket read. The main goal may be rocket reading like mad. There’ll be one of those goals you can’t really get rid of the rocket read. This is finding a goal without a Prepcheck. You just read it once, rocket read, you read it again, didn’t rocket read, you read it again, didn’t rocket read, you read it again, did rocket read. Hey, get alert. All right, read it again, didn’t rocket read, read it again, didn’t rocket read. Now, you’ve got a lot of suppresses off of the thing, and anxiety, fails to reveal-in other words you tiger drill it a little bit-by golly, you read it, pow it rocket read, then it didn’t rocket read.

Well, that’s the time when you pass in the chips and try to commit suicide, or something, because that-that’s a gruesome day. And pc feels a little ARC broke along about that time. So we sat down, we had a conference. I knew I had to think fast to save the auditor. So I dreamed up a rule which you’ll be using, and I think you’ll be very interested in this rule. And the rule is, is simply that if you suddenly draw a blank, well, go back and find the item, terminal or oppterm that the pc was less, least happy about.

You know, that’s really enough to run 3MX with. You can’t get rid of the rocket read. Now, any goal that isn’t the pc’s goal, the rocket reads aren’t that solid or aren’t that good. And that’s worth knowing.

In other words show him the items and say, „Which one of these weren’t you quite as happy about as the others?“

Now, if anybody has ever seen somebody’s goal rocket read, rocket read, rocket read, and now it doesn’t rocket read and you can’t get a peep out of it, if you can get reliable evidence that it did rocket read, or if you can get a sixty-fourth of an inch rocket read out of a goal that was found a year and a half ago; my God that goal will survive almost anything, wont it? Well, list it.

And he will say-he will say, „Well, detectives, I just wasn’t happy about detectives.“

That isn’t an invitation to list a wrong goal. I’m telling you that a right goal has a tremendous reluctance to give up its rocket read. In fact, you can always uncover a bit of a rocket read on the thing again if you plug at it. Of course, it may even only rocket read once.

Look back and see where detectives came from and continue the list that you got detectives on. In other words, continue the list just before that, you understand. The one that detectives appeared on, let’s continue that list because the pc says he’s unhappy with it.

What do you think of the strength of a goal that you rocket-it rocket read twice when it was found, was prepchecked and was found to rocket read again, and you, a year later take this goal, prepcheck it and get one rocket read out of it. What do you think about that? Well look, if it wasn’t his goal it won’t. That’s only true of the pc’s goal that the rocket reads can be recovered, and that are persistent and will continue to rocket read. On locks on that, they go off, pow! Gone.

And here’s the trick! You get your next item which belongs where you should have found it, here. In other words here’s this „personality list“ that didn’t have an item on it-you’ve got this now-here’s a „personality list,“ couldn’t get an item on this list. Went back and took an item the pc was unhappy about, and all the same he scrubbed that one and continued the same list that it occurred on. Another item did come up, a late RR-there’s where the thing had gone astray, don’t you see-and used that RR, not canceling out everything the pc has found on him, but just using that as your next consecutive RR.

So it rocket read. You read it again, half rocket read, you read it again, doesn’t rocket read. You prepcheck it, you never get a rocket read out of it again. It just never yeeps. You can take it a year later and it still doesn’t rocket read anymore.

Why did it come up in the first place? Well, it came up now because it’s ready to come up, not because the auditor missed it. In other words this is another method of finding your consecutive line plot item that belongs on that. Here’s a rocket reading item then, „convention“ which gorgeously rocket read. Everything was fine, and it simply fitted exactly into the line plot where the oppterm of „personality“ should have had a point, see.

But a real goal, it’s very spotty. It rocket reads, and then it doesn’t rocket read, and it does, and six months later you take the same goal and you drill it for a little while and you can get a rocket read out of it. Must be the pc’s goal.

Don’t even tell the pc you’ve destroyed his items. Don’t tell him you’ve scrubbed anything. You’ve just reached back, backwards, found something the pc wasn’t happy about, continued the listing of that, found another item and just moved it up the line plot and used it as normal and just keep right on going.

Then you just list that down the line according to the rules of 2-12A, and take the last R/S, or the last RR on that goal oppose, what is the goal oppose list, and you’re going to have your entrance into the GPM. And after that the pc is going to go giddily right on down the „Spiral Staircase,“ providing you follow these rules of listing just as I’ve been giving them to you in this lecture.

Well, we’re nine rocket reading items and one R/Sing item-which was the source that came off the goal-deep at this particular time. I’ve had quite a few R/Sing 2-12 items found. And over the period of time we’re now nine rocket reading items deep into the GPM.

The variability of 3MX is much less than that of 2-12A. How do you repair 3MX? Well, it’s too soon to tell. It’s too soon to tell. I don’t know what errors are going to be goofed on 3MX. But remember this, if you will simply audit, and not make a whole bunch of goofs, you don’t have anything to patch up, and therefore you don’t have to patch up anything.

Now, about the only thing that showed up is a darkening of skin, a lightening, actually of body mass, and look a bit better. But, at first when you start into this you’re liable to get a lot of black showing up on the pc anyhow, that’s apparently one of the characteristics. And after he’s been audited for-you’ve gotten a few rocket reading items, then he starts to lighten up. But at first, why, he’s liable to look kind of black. That doesn’t-doesn’t mean anything.

Now, there’s the secret of auditing. Audit well enough and accurately enough so that you don’t make a goof you have to patch up, because the case Condition deteriorates from the first goof that you have to patch up. That’s where the case Condition starts going down.

It does mean something when the pc turns black. You start running a list, or list an item or something, the pc goes black on you. You just better get off of that now. Goes blacker than he was at the beginning of the list, you understand that. Any of you characters use this just so you can abandon the list, why I’ll have your thetan.

Now, you get this goof, and then you get another goof, and then you get another goof, and then you patch up those goofs, and then you goof again, and you patch up that goof, and then you patch up the goofs; and then you patch up patching-up the goofs, and by that time there’s no room for auditing. The way to do auditing is just sail in and do it right.

Anyhow, there’s your-your setup of 3MX is a very precise listing which is the same listing pattern as Routine 2-12, except that in Routine 3 you only use rocket reads except when you have to have an R/S on your goals opposition in order to start you into the bank. Sometimes that will be an R/S.

Now, there’s a few changes on 3MX in Model Session which are as follows. You put in the life and livingness goals before you put in the session goals. Reverse that around, and you ask the pc at the end of session for his goals and gains before Havingness. And you also, after you’ve got his-if he made any of his goals and gains, you ask him if there’s anything he’d care to say before you end off the body of the session. In other words, push the goals and gains over into the body of the session. End off the body of the session.

Now, an R/S and an RR fade into each other. That I have also found recently. They-an R/S, if it will become one, can become an RR, and an RR can become an R/S; but it doesn’t mean that these are interchangeable. They definitely are not. You can’t say, „Well, I’m running a rocket reading line because look at all the R/Ses.“ See, that’s not true.

When you do, then check the pc’s havingness. Run a few little taps of Havingness just to exteriorize him into the room, and simply say, „All right. Here it is, end of session.“ And if you carry on a session like that you’ll find you exteriorize the pc out of the session very easily.

An R/S is a little bit further out than an RR. You get that? So an R/S normally is rather a lock phenomenon on an RR, and that’s how these things are related.

As far as pcs carrying around items between sessions, and pcs missing items, and pcs suppressing items, I don’t interfere with the pc unless he stops listing. I only straighten out those things which get in the road of the pc’s progress. That’s the only thing I’ll ever straighten out in a session anymore. It’s actually he can’t list, so I will straighten it out. I’ll get off the suppresses and the invalidates, and halfway through my doing so he starts listing again, and so he sails.

So if you’re running R/Ses you’re really running locks; if you’re running RRs you’re running right in through the Goals Problem Mass.

I can’t get the pc to hear the auditing question at the beginning of session. I just can’t get him to hear it, so I run some general O/W because he seems terribly agitated. Don’t you see? And at the moment he can hear the auditing question, and can answer it, I’m auditing right straight on down the line, bangety-bang.

So you see anybody that knew how to run 2-12A perfectly, could convert over and list with much greater ease, by the way-because its precision is greater-could move right over and at once list on 3MX, because it’s twenty-five items beyond the still TA or the last R/S, whichever comes last; twenty-five items beyond that for 3MX and it’s fifty items-now, 2-12A-in 2-12A.

Now, what you want to do is become a very accomplished auditor, not a sloppy auditor. The better the auditor the less he has to patch up. The perfect auditor never has to use any of the tools of auditing. Somebody sits down he knows-the pc knows he’s in-session. This is very interesting, the upshot of auditing is getting something done.

In 2-12A you’re dealing with less precision of action than you are dealing with 3MX. This is their main difference because in 2-12A YOU will occasionally be horrified having gone exactly fifty items, just like the book said, to start the pc listing again and have the item that he gives you, the very next item that he gives you-which is item 51-R/Ses and is the reliable item for that list. You’ve gone around and round, holding your head wondering where it was.

If you get the things done which you should in an auditing session, the pc will just walk forward with seven-league boot strides all the way. The less you interfere with the pc thinkingness and the less you distract him from the job of listing and the job of cogniting and so on, why the less tools you have to use. And it’s the mark of a very bad auditor that he has to use the auditing tools all the time. That is the mark of a poor auditor.

In other words, that can vary. Sometimes if your sources are poor, and so on, you will find the R/Sing item is not the last R/S on the list, but is number fifteen on the front page. Oh, there must be something wrong there someplace. Actually the best thing to do is to bear on rather than to keep repair, repair, repair all the time.

Now, it goes worse than this. If an auditor is obsessively, continuously, and insistently, forever and aye butting into the session to straighten it out, he hasn’t got any session to straighten it out. Why is he trying? The whole secret of auditing is getting auditing done.

Now, this is the score then with regard to 3MX, and I’ve given you this mostly on the basis of a personal experience of the material. I’ve seen how this material operates myself. Been over the jumps on it. I’ve been trying to find a goals line in that we could really give you and really square up. And want to get all those old goals straightened out, and so forth. Well, I’ll talk about that in the next lecture. I just wanted to give you a good review of what’s been happening here with the old man and research.

Now, when you see a green auditor start doing 3MX, or 2-12A, you’ll find out that they have to patch everything together and they have to do everything, and do everything, and do everything in order to get around to doing some 2-12A. They may do that the first session, the second session, the third session, the fourth session. If they are capable of observation, if they are capable of being a good auditor, you’re going to find something new is going to occur - that session by session they start dropping the tools of auditing. They start dropping these things, and they’re doing less and less monkey business and more and more auditing. And finally when they are very confident of their Routine 2 or Routine 3, and they’re very confident of these things, why, they have dropped the use of auditing tools to practically a minimum. They see that the pc is a bit fogged in, and the second that pc looks a-looks a little bit dopey they know that’s going to stop their tone arm action and it’ll give them a false, flat list. Well, it isn’t that the pc can’t list, it’s the fact that the tone arm won’t register on a doped-off pc. So right away pull the missed withholds, pull the missed withholds, pull the missed withholds. Soon as they are pulled, the pc is bright, alert and wide-awake. The auditor is off of that. He isn’t pulling missed withholds as a profession, he’s pulling missed withholds just to brighten that pc up and get that pc up there so he can get any residual tone arm action going.

I’ve been getting killed daily for the last hundred and fifty hours, but that’s not quite fair because the last fifteen hours of those were more processing than I have ever seen in the last twelve years. So it all paid off, and you have my bravery to thank for the whole lot.

These are the tools of auditing and how they are used. When an auditor is auditing like that he’s getting something done, and he doesn’t have trouble with the pc. He doesn’t have ARC breaks.

So, thank you very much.

The first thing to know how to do, however, is the Routine 3 and the Routine 2. You-to make these conditions obtain in a session you have to know your Routine 2 and Routine 3 perfectly, and have good confidence in it. And actually, to get to a point where you could have good confidence in it and perfectly, your auditing has to be very nearly perfect.

So there-there’s where the thing adds up. You’ve got a situation here where you have terrifically workable processes if they are done. And that’s the one thing you must keep in mind. Any of you who are ever supervising auditors, and so forth, that they are not going to be done in the presence of gross auditing errors such as, „You can’t audit a pc who stays home.“ Gross auditing error.

„Well, we didn’t make much gains in that twenty-five-hour intensive. Guess 2-12 doesn’t work.“

Say, „You didn’t make much gains. What did you do?“

„Well, I don’t know, just 2-12, 2-12, that’s what I did.“

Well, if you just let it pass at that, you’d say, „Well, 2-12 doesn’t work,“ or something like that. Make a little bit of further inquiry and you find out the pc was only there for two hours of the first session of the first day, and was home the rest of the week.

Doesn’t sound like 2-12 doesn’t work. It sounds like the auditor never got the pc into the auditing chair. Never got him into the session. Never had him at the session. It wasn’t a case of being in-session, the pc never arrived in the same building as the session. You get the idea.

You say, „Well, they’re . . .“ You will encounter auditors like this. They’ll make a gross auditing error. They’re very green, and so forth, but they don’t recognize these things are that gross. And the other thing is, is you cannot expect somebody to follow a technique or follow a procedure who doesn’t know what the procedure is. Therefore you have systems of checkout, you have systems of training, you have systems of observation, and you keep somebody under supervision until they get a good win.

All training of auditors has certain liabilities. You get people in the road, and things in the road, and cases in the road and all that sort of thing. But it can be done, and I think you’ll find out that 3MX done as it can be done with a maximum of purity and snap and polish, and right on the groove as I’ve been telling you in this lecture tonight, I think it’s going to produce you some Clears. And I think it’s going to produce Clears with far greater rapidity than you ever thought was possible.

So there’s what we’ve been aiming for, and there it is.

So okay, and thank you very much.

Good night.
