One remaining problem in cases was “PTS phenomena”.

P.T.S. means Potential Trouble Source. When someone is suppressed he becomes a Potential Trouble Source.

There are numerous HCO Bs and PLs on this subject. All of them are true observations and predictions.

The cause of rollercoaster is PTS. Rollercoaster means a slump after a gain. Pcs who do not hold their gains are PTS.

S and Ds (for Search and Discovery) was the earlier approach. These are still valid and “3 S&Ds” as a rundown is used in the PTS Rundown without change.

Now with the PTS Rundown, the handling of this common and all too frequent case condition can be handled.

Hopefully it can be done by Class IVs who are also HDCs, HGC Okays to Audits.

There are numerous HCOBs and PLs on this subject. All of them are true observations and predictions.

For an Auditor who is not HDC Class IV Okay to Audit HGC by competent interneship to attempt a PTS Rundown would be very risky for the pc as it needs exact listing, exact TRs, exact metering, exact Code keeping and very honest auditing and competent C/Sing.

The cause of Roller-Coaster is PTS. Roller-coaster means a slump after a gain. Pcs who do not hold their gains are PTS.

S and Ds (for Search and Discovery) was the earlier approach. These are still valid and "3 S&Ds" as a rundown is used in the PTS Rundown without change.

Earlier discovery and development of the PTS theory is extensively covered.

Now with the PTS Rundown, this common and all too frequent case condition can be handled.

The recent wrap-up came about through my OT research in November 1971.

The principal breakthrough was realizing one should NOT invalidate having known certain people before.

There are actually three PTS handlings:

This is similar to the past life discovery in 1950. Some people thinking this was “unpopular” frowned on it. Some others were only famous characters so flagrantly that past lives were easily invalidated. But people who don’t go past track in Dianetics don’t recover. Even running them as “imaginary” as in Science of Survival advices suddenly breaks through for a stalled Dianetic Case.

1. This is essentially an ethics action done by the Ethics Officer. Its substance is contained in Board Policy Letter 5 Apr 72RC Issue I, PTS Type A Handling. It is usually the first step at any sign of trouble. It is not an audited action, it is an interview. The PTS person is given a program in order to handle the scene.

In this same way with young men and girls using “I knew you when you were“ for 2D advantage tended to invalidate having known certain individuals before this life.

2. This is the PTS Rundown, Audited as covered in this HCOB, in HCOB 20 Jan 72r, PTS RD Addition and in HCOB 3 Jun 72RA. It is done by an auditor in regular session as described in these HCOBs.

But now it turns out that the only PTS situation that is serious and lasting and can cause a rollercoaster comes from having known the person before this life.

… It can be done by Class IV Grads who are also HNEDAs, HGC Okay to Audits.

Possibly in the last life or earlier lives one knew persons before that life too. This however shows up in the 3 S&Ds.

For an auditor who is not HNEDA, Class IV Grad Okay to Audit HGC by competent interneship to attempt a PTS Rundown would be very risky for the pc as it needs exact listing, exact TRs, exact metering, exact Code keeping and very honest auditing and competent C/Sing.

3. The third handling is The Suppressed Person Rundown, HCOB 29 Dec 78, and HCOB 30 Dec 78r – The Suppressed Person RD Problems Processes. It is done by a qualified auditor in regular session. Essentially, it handles the OTHER person connected to the pc.

There are only four points of breakdown of the PTS Rundown.

Therefore, what you have here is three stages of handling PTSness. The first above, the interview, cools off the scene and in many cases that is that. But when the pc is further affected by the connection and roller-coasters, he is given the audited rundown as in 2 above. This usually handles the case of PTSness as a case. But there sometimes remains another person, the SP person or group and its relationship in the real universe to the pc. And this is handled with 3 above.

1. Improperly audited. Auditor not able to always do a correct list, TRs out, metering out, poor R3R, just plain untrained or not totally familiar with this Rundown.

2. Pc not completely set up. Like: Has TA trouble but no C/S 53 done, is a no change case but no GF 40R done, old auditing not repaired by a GF and proper programming or no C/S 54 or too tired or too ill for the R3R.

The Dianetic steps of the PTS Rundown, Audited are not run on Clears, OTs or Dianetic Clears. (Ref: HCOB 12 Sep 78, Dianetics Forbidden On Clears And OTs.)

3. The Rundown not fully and completely done, but chopped or left incomplete (pc will still rollercoaster).

Clears, OTs and Dianetic Clears can of course be given the interview step (1 above) and can be given the Suppressed Person Rundown as in 3 above as neither contains any handling of engrams.

4. People who “can’t run engrams” – which means a druggie who hasn’t had a full Drug Rundown.

There is nothing especially tricky about the auditing of the PTS Rundown except that all auditing should be of flubless quality and when the PTS RD is flubbed by bad lists or poor R3R or out TRs or poor metering it really IS a mess. The RD is so powerful that errors in C/Sing and auditing it are especially rough.

Early discovery and development of the PTS theory is extensively covered.

Currently sick pcs should not be run on the PTS Rundown as a standard practice. It is what they need but you can easily overwhelm a sick pc with engram running.

The recent wrap-up came about through my OT research in November 1971.

The time to run a PTS RD is when the pc is set up and when it is noted the pc rollercoasters, not when he collapses with a temperature.

The principle breakthrough was realizing one should NOT invalidate having known certain people before.

Rollercoaster can also be caused by a bad Interiorization RD or Int repair, out lists, bypassed charge of other descriptions. These should be gotten rid of before a PTS RD is attempted.

This is similar to the past life discovery in 1950. Some people thinking this was "unpopular" frowned on it. Some others were only famous characters so flagrantly that past lives were easily invalidated. But people who don't go past track in Dianetics don't recover. Even running them as "imaginary" as in Science of Survival advices suddenly breaks through for a stalled Dianetic case.

With HCO B C/S Series 93, “New Grade Chart”, the PTS RD is done as part of Ex Dn after a full Drug RD and Exp Grade IV.

In this same way with young men and girls using "I knew you when you were ……" for 2D advantage tended to invalidate having known certain individuals before this life.

But now it turns out that the only PTS situation that is serious and lasting and can cause a roller-coaster comes from having known the person before this life.

Valence shifts occur rapidly and frequently in PTS RDs and should be noted on the worksheet.

Possibly in the last life or earlier lives one knew persons before that life too. This however shows up in the 3 S&Ds.

The R3R can sometimes be a bit of a long haul on a basic incident. Be sure with an L3RD. But get an erasure of basic no matter how hard you have to work at it. In the PTS RD incidents can “develop”. Missing pieces can appear. A whole new slant can occur on the subject when one goes to F2 after finishing F1.

Chronic somatics are likely to appear and be handled on this Rundown. And case conditions not previously remedied by other means can be remedied by this Rundown.

There are only four points of breakdown of the PTS Rundown.

1. Improperly audited. Auditor not able to always do a correct list. TRs out, metering out, poor R3RA, just plain untrained or not totally familiar with this rundown.

There is a point where the pc is absolutely sure he knew the person before this life. This is NOT the EP.

2. Pc not completely set up. Like: Has TA trouble but no C/S 53 done, is a no change case but no EXGF 40RD done, old auditing not repaired by… proper programing or… pc too tired or too ill for the R3RA.

A pc can exteriorize on this RD. That is NOT the EP (but requires an Int RD if none has been done before and the TA goes high, or its correction).

3. The rundown not fully and completely done, but chopped or left incomplete (pc will still roller-coaster).

The EP is a pc who is getting and keeping case gains and never again rollercoasters.

4. People who "can't run engrams" – which means a druggie who hasn't had a full Drug Rundown.

There is nothing especially tricky about the auditing of the PTS Rundown except that all auditing should be of flubless quality and when the PTS RD is flubbed by bad lists or poor R3RA or out-TRs or poor metering it really is a mess. The RD is so powerful that errors in C/Sing and auditing it are especially rough.

You cannot use Flow 1 as any old direction to or from pc. To do this fouls it up.

Currently sick pcs should not be run on the PTS Rundown as a standard practice. It IS what they need but you can easily overwhelm a sick pc with engram running.

• Flow 1 is to the pc.

The time to run a PTS RD is when the pc is set up and when it is noted the pc roller-coasters, not when he collapses with a temperature.

Roller-coaster can also be caused by a bad Interiorization RD or Int repair, out-lists, bypassed charge of other descriptions. These should be gotten rid of before a PTS RD is attempted.

The prerequisites for a PTS RD are covered in 2 and 4 above. It is not restricted to Ex Dn but is a separate RD developed before Ex Dn.

If you did F1 R3R as “Locate a time you knew____” you might get to the pc, pc to the person or the person to others. You would not get a clean motivator F1. This would leave the PTS chain partially run.

This is also true of the ruds.

Valence shifts occur rapidly and frequently in PTS RDs and should be noted on the worksheet.

The R3RA can sometimes be a bit of a long haul on a basic incident. Be sure with an L3RF. But get the postulate off the basic no matter how hard you have to work at it. In the PTS RD incidents can "develop. " Missing pieces can appear. A whole new slant can occur on the subject when one goes to F2 after finishing F1.

If the pc does not recover, then reasons for failure 1 to 4 above should be checked into.

Chronic somatics are likely to appear and be handled on this rundown. And case conditions not previously remedied by other means can be remedied by this rundown.

Then the lists and R3R should be handled with L4BR and L3RD.

Then an overlooked item or person or place should be scouted for and handled. There is no question of the validity of the Rundown. It might have missed. “True love” might have been passed over as unlikely but such obsessive attraction is always based on having known (and probably done in) the other person.

There is a point where the pc is absolutely sure he knew the person before this life. This is NOT the EP.

Then the true EP will be attained where it only appeared to be before.

A pc can exteriorize on this RD. That is NOT the EP (but can require an Int RD if none has been done before…).

The EP is a pc who is getting and keeping case gains and never again Roller-Coasters.

Here are the issues that directly cover the Rundown.

• HCO B9 Dec 71RA “PTS Rundown”

Then the true EP will be attained where it only appeared to be before.

1. Collect up past S&D items (which should have already been verified on set-ups) or get the pc to tell you them if no folder.

Here are the issues that directly cover the rundown:

2. On the earliest one ask if known before. If it so reads handle per steps 3-6. If not, pick next item and repeat this check for validity.

• BPL 5 Apr 72RC PTS TYPE A HANDLING

3. R3R Triple the item using these commands:

• F1 Locate a time when ______did something to you. R3 R.

(a) Did______ARC Brk you? ARCU CDEINR. E/S to F/N.

(b) Did you ARC Brk______? ARCU CDEINR. E/S to F/N.

(c) Did______ARC Brk others? ARCU CDEINR.

Always do a fresh ARCU CDEINR on each E/S.

(d) Did______give you a problem? E/S to F/N.

(e) Did you give______a problem? E/S to F/N.

(f) Did______give others problems? E/S to F/N.

(g) Did you withhold anything from ______? E/S to F/N.

(h) Did______withhold anything from you? E/S to F/N.

(i) Did______withhold anything from others? E/S to F/N.

(j) Did______commit an overt (harmful act) on you? E/S to F/N.

(k) Did you commit an overt (harmful act) on______? E/S to F/N.

(l) Did______commit an overt on others? E/S to F/N.

5. Run “Can’t Hav/Enforced Hav” with these steps:

(a) Clear “can’t have”, “couldn’t have” as denial of something to someone else. Clear “enforced have” as making someone accept what they didn’t want. Have pc get the idea of these with an example or two.

(b) Run on the SP items “can’t have/enforced have” as motivator repetitive, then overt repetitive, the flow three terminal to others, others to terminal (four flows of two commands each).

(c) After EACH item is handled with the four flows, Objective Havingness should be run.

• F1 1. What can’t have did (terminal) run on you?
  2. What did (terminal) force on you you didn’t want?

6. Handle all past S&D items per above steps.

7. Collect up all past PTS Interview items (which should have already been verified with C/S Series 78 on set-ups).

8. Check known before on earliest one. If it so reads handle as below.

9. R3R Triple the item.

10. Triple Ruds and Overts on the item.

11. Can’t Hav/Enforced Hav on the item followed by Objective Hav.

12. Repeat steps 8-11 on all valid past PTS Interview items.

13. Do 3 S&Ds per HCO B 16 Aug 69, “Handling Illness in Scientology”, assessment and 3 L&Ns.

14. Check the first item for known before, handle if it so reads.

15. R3R Triple the item.

16. Triple Ruds and Overts on the item.

17. Can’t Hav/Enforced Hav on the item, followed by Objective Hav.

18. Repeat steps 14-17 on the other 2 items if valid.

19. L&N Who have you known this lifetime who has troubled or worried you? to BD F/N item. (Usually includes father, mother, wife or wives, husband, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, lovers.)

20. Check item for known before, if it so reads:

21. R3R Triple.

22. Triple Ruds and Overts.

23. Can’t Hav/Enforced Hav followed by Objective Hav.

24. L&N Who have you been after this life? to BD F/N item.

25. Check known before and if it reads:

26. R3R Triple.

27. Triple Ruds and Overts.

28. Can’t Hav/Enforced Hav plus Objective Hav.

29. L&N What planets have you known before this lifetime? to BD F/N item.

30. R3R Triple.

31. Triple Ruds and Overts.

32. Can’t Hav/Enforced Hav plus Objective Hav.

33. D of P Interview the person after the RD is “complete” to be sure the person is now all right (not PTS).

Auditor errors during the RD are handled with L4BR, L3RD, GF Method 5 and handle, C/S 53 if necessary.

A really big snarl-up on the RD that won’t clear up is handled with HCO B 16 Apr 72, “PTS RD Correction List”.

If pc gets ill or rollercoasters after the RD is complete the PTS RD Correction List HCO B 16 Apr 72 is done and whatever was missed is cleared up.

The PTS RD as revised is very direct and powerful. The L&N blows each aspect apart. Don’t miss on it with auditor flubs. Get it drilled thoroughly before it is delivered.
