Auditing is the application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained Auditor.

NAME: Drill – Op Pro By Dup.

An Auditor is one who listens carefully to what people have to say and is one who is trained and qualified in applying Scientology processes to others for their betterment.

A process is a set of questions asked by an Auditor to help a person find out things about himself and life and so improve himself and his life and conditions around him. Therefore a more exact definition of auditing would be the action of asking a preclear a question (which he can understand and answer), getting an answer to that question and acknowledging him for that answer.

• "Look at that book" (or bottle in alternate times)

A preclear is a term principally used to describe a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life.

Auditing gets rid of unwanted barriers that inhibit, stop or blunt a person's natural intelligence and abilities – as well as gradiently increasing the abilities a person has so that he becomes more able and his survival, happiness and intelligence increase enormously.

To be an Auditor you only have to be willing to guide a person's attention to an area in life that is bothering him by asking an exact auditing question, and then be willing to listen attentively to the person's answer and then be willing to accept that answer and acknowledge him for that answer

In doing this you must be willing to follow a Code or a collection of rules (do's and don'ts) that an Auditor follows while auditing someone. This will ensure that the preclear will get the greatest possible gain out of the processing that he is having, and that nothing can occur that will worsen the preclear.

In being a PC there are certain guidelines which you should know and follow for your own best gains:

1. You should be sure to get plenty of good food and rest and not take alcohol or drugs. This way you will be able to put your full attention on the process.

2. When you are not in session do not continue to think about the process and its commands in reference to yourself. It often results in restimulating the reactive mind and not being able to get out of it again. Leave auditing for when you are in session.

(Acknowledge the pc with a "Thank you." after he has carried out each command.)

3. Do not discuss your case or sessions with any other persons or students.

PURPOSE: To train the student to be able to coordinate and apply the commands and procedures of Op Pro by Dup so that he can audit with them smoothly in Co-auditing.

On an occasion a student may have a little trouble in auditing which is more than can be handled by the fellow student or the Supervisor. At this time the PC goes to a professional Auditor and has what is called a Review, where he gets special care to bring him through the confusion and back to having wins on course.

POSITION: Student (Auditor) standing and holding a doll (which represents the pc). The student has the doll carry out the commands

Keep these basic definitions in mind as you progress in your study of auditing and processing, follow the Auditor's Code, and you will find that you will be able to bring much increased happiness and ability to the lives of your friends.

TRAINING STRESS: Student (Auditor) starts the session and runs a standard session including those steps which are given below.

The drill is considered passed when the student can do the process smoothly and comfortably without flubs or out TRs. (Maintain TRs 0 to 4 and 6 to 9.)

1. Select and set up an auditing space, and prepare your auditing report forms. The space should include two level platforms (tables) which are at some walking distance apart, a book and a bottle.

2. Inform the Supervisor that you are going to be starting a session and show the Supervisor that you are up to that part of your checksheet, and just where the session will be.

3. Get the pc's folder and check with the Supervisor so that he knows you understand what the next action is to be. He will give you an OK to start session.

4. Get the pc.

5. Ask the pc if it is all right to audit in the room and if not, make things right by adjusting the room or location of auditing.

6. Tell the pc the purpose of such sessions (Reality Factor) – "I want to improve your ability. " It's the Auditor's goal at this level, not the pc's.

It is best, if possible to take this process to its full win point in one session.

7. Tell the pc "Start of Session' and start the auditing report forms.

8. Tell the pc "We are going to run a process, Opening Procedure by Duplication. "

9. Have the pc examine, hold, inspect, become familiar with the objects (the book & bottle) to his satisfaction. Then have him place them at some walking distance apart (on the level platforms).

10. Clear the words of Command A in backwards sequence (i.e. in this order: Book, that, at, look). Then clear the command itself. Use a dictionary when necessary to have your pc look up a word. Make sure the pc understands all the words in the command and the command itself. Note quickly on your worksheets what the commands mean to the pc and any words you have him look up. (You may continue to hold the board with worksheets and make very brief notes during the session.) Ref. : BTB 2 May 1972R "Clearing Commands".

11. Clear the rest of the commands – B through I as in step 10.

12. Tell the pc that you are going to give him commands to do, involving the book and bottle, and that you want the pc to do them. Also tell the pc that the same commands will be used over and over again.

A. Look at that book.

B. Walk over to it.

C. Pick it up.

D. What is its colour?

E. What is its temperature?

F. What is its weight?

G. Put it down in exactly the same place.

H. Look at that bottle.

I. (Do "B" through "G" on the bottle.)

J. (Begin again at "A".)

13. Start the process and give the first command, "Look at that book. "

14. Allow the pc to carry out the command, and then acknowledge him for doing that with "Thank you"'.

15. Continue the same pattern of giving the command, allowing the pc to carry it out, and acknowledging its completion for the other commands "B" through "I".

16. The same words and formula are used over and over, as above.

17. Although the questions never vary, the Auditor must still maintain 2-Way Communication with the pc. The pc is doing the process so when the pc talks or volunteers information the Auditor must use TR 0 to 4.

18. The process is run for some hours at once, not for 30 minutes one day and 30 minutes the next.

19. The process is continued until the pc has the EP. There are several possible EPs for Op Pro by Dup: A. Flattened Comm Lags & pc Cheerful and no more change on the process. B. A real big win with Cognition and VGIs and an ability regaineD.C. Exteriorization with Cognition and VGIs. End off the process when the pc has reached EP with a "That's it". And have the pc sit down. Then signal to the Supervisor who will have you take the pc to the Examiner to check for an F/N, or continue the process if a full EP has not been achieved. When you go to the Examiner, bring back the report and put it in the pc's folder. Write up what happened on the EP and give the Supervisor your report to read.

20. If you must end session before EP (End Phenomena) of the process, and the pc is not going through large changes, do the following:

A: Toward the end of the auditing period, say, "We'll have to be ending shortly. "

B. When the pc has carried out a few more commands say, "We're closing the session now. " (End on a completed cycle with the pc putting the object down. Have the pc sit down.) Ask, "Have you made any gains in this session?"

C. Quickly note down on your report form the pc's answer.

D. End the session with "End of session. " Take the pc to the Examiner.

21. After the session, write up your auditing report forms for the session, put them into the pc's folder and hand them into the Supervisor.

NOTE: If you get into an impasse in session and can't make any progress, or if the pc becomes upset or other confusions arise that you can't handle, put your hand behind your back to attract the attention of the Supervisor who will assist in the situation. On this process sometimes a pc will act up and go up and down the Tone Scale, and this is usually handled by just continuing the process.
