Through verbal tech just located, it has been found that some auditors have been ordered to disregard all F/Ns that were above 3.0 or below 2.0 on the meter.

Auditors have also called F/Ns which were ARC break needles, thus falsely indicating to the pc.

These two actions – disregarding actual F/Ns because the TA was not between 2.0 and 3.0 and calling “F/Ns” that were actually ARC break needles – have upset many preclears.

The outnesses here are: A. not considering pc indicators as senior and B. not noting pc indicators when calling an F/N and C. ignoring and giving junior importance to the technology covered in false TAs. (See list of references at end of this HCOB or the Subject Index of the HCOB Volumes.)

Auditors have even been led to falsify worksheets (giving TA as in range when it actually was not when calling an F/N) because they might “get in trouble” for calling an F/N in the wrong range, such as 1.8 or 3.2.

The correct procedure for out of range F/Ns is:

1. Look at the pc’s indicators.

2. Call the F/N regardless of its range.

3. Mark down the actual TA position.

4. Handle the false TA at the earliest opportunity when it will not intrude into the current cycle on which the pc is being audited. (You don’t interrupt a Quad R3RA, for instance, to handle false TA; you complete it and then, when directed by the C/S, you handle the false TA.)

5. On any pc you suspect has had his F/Ns disregarded because of false TA, you C/S for and get run a repair and rehab of this error.

E-Meter cans can monitor or change TA position when the palms are too dry or too wet or when the cans are too big or too small or when the wrong hand cream is used. The E-Meter does not read on hand moisture alone as was long believed by people in electronics. But TA depends upon resistance to electrical current in the palms, leads, and meter as well as its main resistance which happens to be mental masses or lack of them.

To simply tell some interne “Always disregard an F/N not in correct range” is to set him up for loses and set the pc up for crashes. The correct information is that an F/N which isn’t in range is accompanied by pc indicators that indicate whether it is an F/N or not. And indicates you better get the false TA handled fast as soon as it won’t interrupt the current cycle. And you always note where it F/Ned so the C/S can C/S for false TA handling.

Where an ARC break needle (which looks like an F/N) is observed, whether it is in range or out of range (2.0 to 3.0 or below 2.0 or above 3.0) you look at the pc and establish the pc’s indicators before falsely calling an F/N. A pc who is about to cry is not an F/Ning pc and if you indicate an F/N to that pc you will further the ARC break and suppress the emotional charge that is about to come off.

Where the above matters have not been fully understood and errors have occurred on pcs, it must be assumed that:

1. Auditors have falsified their worksheets as to TA position and thus built up withholds and made themselves blowy.

2. That every pc who has ever had high or low TA trouble has had F/Ns disregarded and ARC break F/Ns falsely indicated.

3. That a briefing and drilling of all Internes and auditors must occur on this HCOB.

4. That a brief program of clean-up of disregarded F/Ns and falsely called ARC break F/Ns be done on every pc.

5. That every such pc be considered as having false TA troubles and these must be C/Sed for and corrected.

6. That all auditors and Internes be drilled on all HCOBs relating to pc indicators.

Disregard TA position, use only F/Ns and pc indicators in doing this C/S.

1. It has been found that some of your F/Ns (release points) may have been disregarded by past or present auditors.

2. Have you ever felt an F/N (release point or end of an action) had been bypassed on your case? E/S to F/N.

3. Find and rehab the principal overrun of a release point.

4. Have you ever felt an F/N should not have been indicated by the auditor when it was? E/S to F/N.

5. Find the principal point and get in Suppress on it and complete the action. Do this E/S to F/N.

6. Find and run the ARC breaks bypassed, with ARC break handling.

7. Find and handle the false TA in totality.

An F/N seen by the Auditor in running R3RA is not called. It simply means that the pc is running well.

An auditor running R3RA is not looking for F/Ns. He is looking for total, complete erasure of the basic of a chain.

In running R3RA one has to consult the pc! This is part of R3RA commands.

An F/N can occurs five or more engrams before basic is reached! You just go on with R3RA. Only when the pc says the engram has totally erased, when he has cognited, is VGIs and the postulate in the basic has come off do you consider the chain complete.

The E-Meter will have been F/Ning for some time.

When the full end phenomena of a Dianetics chain is obtained, the needle will of course be F/Ning. The F/N simply broadens.

The auditor does not call F/Ns when running Dianetics until the full EP of the chain is reached.

1. When it appears that you have reached the basic incident of a chain and that it is erasing, after each pass through the auditor asks, “Has it erased?”

2. The meter will have been F/Ning for some time.

3. When the pc has stated that it has erased the auditor should also expect a cognition volunteered by the pc.

4. The auditor should expect to see very good indicators (VGIs).

5. If no postulate made during the time of the incident has come off and been volunteered by the pc the auditor should ask, “Did you make a postulate at the time of the incident? Note that the postulate may have come off in the form of a cognition and on the other hand may not have even though a cognition was given.

Only when these latter steps have occurred can one consider the EP of a Dianetic incident or chain has been obtained.

Each Power Process has its own End Phenomena and is ended only when that is obtained.
