Dianetics can be made to fail by alteration of its materials from its precise workable application.

Until a full rundown is issued, this error in R-3-R as published is corrected.

It is basically so simple it is hard to conceive that this could happen.

In going through an incident the second time one DOES NOT ask for date and duration again or any description.

But it has happened several times and was a contributing cause to its lack of use in several areas for some years.

After the 1st time through an incident and when pc has recounted it the auditor

There are various ways to make Dianetics difficult. Most of these come under three headings:

A. Tells pc, "Move to the beginning of the incident."

1. False information as to how it doesn’t work by some vested interest acting as a third party (see HCO B 26 Dec 68 on 3rd Party Law).

B. "Tell me when you are there."

2. Failure to provide or get studied the actual data and HCOBs.

C. When pc has said he is, "Scan through to the end of the incident."

3. Mis-instructing which enters an instructor’s or examiner’s opinion or invalidation or alteration of the actual technology.

D. "Tell me what happened."

A person who pays attention to 1 and 3 and who doesn’t insist on 2 is courting failure in auditing. Many many instances exist of each of these three being done and almost all failures one has in auditing can be traced to one of the three reasons given above.

The second, 3rd, etc run through the same incident use the above or some variation thereof.

The failures aren’t because of the pc or the bad intention of the auditor. Believe that. They came from either not using Dianetics at all or 1, 2 or 3 above. So don’t let yourself get caught in these errors given above.

After the second time through, find out if it is erasing or going more solid. If it is erasing go through it a third time, etc until it is erased. Erasure is usually accompanied by a Floating Needle and a cognition immediately afterwards.

In doing R-3-R it is necessary that (a) one chooses things the pc is interested in and (b) one does not force a pc to run things he is protesting being run on.

If you ask if there is an earlier incident and the pc says "No" you do not just walk off from the one he was just running. You send the pc through it again and it will erase.

If you do sloppy R-3-R and do one thing after another without getting an F/N or an erasure, you will get the pc stuck up on the track. You complete each chain to F/N or erasure.

If a LOCK F/Ns you can get earlier incidents on the same chain until the pc actually runs the engram or chain of engrams.

While it is not always safe to pass an F/N and go earlier to the real engram and erase it, a pc who is only F/Ned on locks will get the engram keyed in again later. The somatic may return unless engrams are run to erasure.

An R-3-R session can be safely ended on a cognition and Good Indicators such as a cheerful happy pc.

This doesn't mean the end of all Dianetic auditing. In the next session another assessment will turn up more unwanted feelings.

Dianetics is ended off only when a pc has become well and happy and remains that way.
