The additional 2 flows are

A being has a minimum of 3 flows. By “flow” is meant a directional thought, energy or action.

Flow No. 2 Locate an Incident of your causing another (item).

The three flows are:

Flow No. 3 Locate an Incident of others causing others (item).

• Inward to oneself

Item can be preceded by “a” or “an”.

When singles have been run already, take the earliest single item always. Proceed in order of sequence run doing Flows No. 2 and No. 3 on each. Don’t skip any. Don’t start later in list. Interest, etc, has nothing to do with it. Just do it.

The remaining R-3-R Commands are used without variation.

There are many more flows possible as have been much more fully covered in Scientology Class VI.

Examples:

• Flow 1, to self, Drinking.

[The above HCO B was incorporated into HCO B 6 May 1970, same title, which added the triple Dianetics “earlier” commands.]

• Flow 1, to self, being hit on the nose.

Item Example using a proper Dn item, a pain in the arm.

• Flow 1, to self, receiving a pain in the arm.

Notice that the direction of the flow does not change the item. Only the direction changes.

It will be found that a pc can run “single items” for quite a while.

By “single” is meant “to self” Flow 1.

This however eventually can result in a stuck flow. This is based on the fact that a flow which runs too long in one direction can “stick”. It will not flow longer in that one direction. It now has to have a reverse flow run.

Thus one can run a single flow item after item. But after many items are run as single flows, a pc can get stuck and run poorly.

The answer is to run Flows No. 2 and No. 3 on the same items already run in single flow.

One must begin with the first item and run each item on Flows No. 2 and No. 3.

Example: One ran the following items on a pc single flow (to self, Flow No. 1).

• A sore jaw

The pc seems to be doing all right but it is time to run the triples. So one runs

• A sore jaw, Flow No. 2 R3R

Now having begun triples, one of course runs all new items assessed in triple form.

• Item Flow No. 1 R3R

Each flow run is of course treated as a chain and is carried back to its basic and erasure.

Pcs who do not immediately get well on Single flows must of course be run on the other 2 flows for each item already run.

Pcs who drop back to a sick state during auditing must be run on the other two flows.

In actual practice where a pc does not get well promptly he is given medical care as he was physically ill. Then he is given a Scientology Review (Green Form to F/N and any session repair and GF No. 40 and handle fully).

Then HCOB 24 July 69.

And then he is run on triples, putting in Flows No. 2 and No. 3 on all items run so far. Added to this Review can be what is known as Life Ruds and 3 S & Ds. Then and only then is the pc put back on Dianetics and all items are given Flows No. 2 and No. 3 and is run on triples thereafter.

The above paragraph applies to any sick pc. The sequence of the actions in the above paragraph can be varied. One doesn’t just put in triples on the pc to “cure” him. Medical action and Scientology Review and the actions to handle a sick pc must be done. The point for this HCOB is that the pc must have all singles now done in triple and that all further items must then be done as triples.

Since only one command in R3R varies in triples (see Issue II of this HCOB) any Dianetic auditor who has done a Starrated checkout on this HCOB and Issue II of this date can do Dianetic triples.

Don’t get complex about it such as assessing for a Flow No. 3 or skipping around on a list or asking the pc’s permission or for his interest to do No. 2 and No. 3. It’s almost impossible to go wrong doing Flows No. 2 and No. 3. There aren’t any “special cases”.

A Dianetic auditor should qualify for his HDC doing singles. There’s less chance of getting balled up. Or of pushing a wrong assessment.

Where the pc has been run on a narrative item or a multiple item, skip it for triples.

This is absolutely certain about triples: A pc must be run on Dianetic triples before he can be called a Dianetic completion.

When a pc has been called a Dianetic Completion on singles and has done Scn triples and even OT grades he should be run on Dianetic triples and can be at any time.

(See Issue II HCOB 5 Oct 69 for Dianetic Triple Commands.)

[This HCO B is changed by BTB 1 December 1970R, Dianetics-Triple Flow Action which says “Wherever Single Flow Dianetics is mentioned, the statement is revised according to the following rule: ‘Dianetics is run by triple flows only. Dianetic singles is forbidden and if done will be considered gross out tech and a tech and qual high crime.’ LRH]
