Introduction: In Scientology, we don’t give a person solutions. On the contrary, we let the person look at which solutions they once had, solutions that may now be completely outdated, and allow them to disappear them
Ron says in HCOB 23 May 1971R, Recognition of rightness of the being:
"Man is an added-to being and everything that has been added to him has decreased his ability to cope. When you add something to the Being he gets worse."
In the lecture of January 7, 1964 Good indicatiors at lower levels:
"This is all part and parcel of additives. We add something to the being and he gets worse. Everything that has been added to him has decreased his ability to cope. He becomes aberrative by additives."
In Scientology, we handle unwanted things through As-Isness.
As-Isness means that we look at something exactly as it is. By looking precisely at what it is and how it is, the aberrating factor (aberrating = irrational, deviating from rational thought or behavior) vanishes.
In Scientology, we don’t give a person solutions. On the contrary, we let the person look at which solutions they once had, solutions that may now be completely outdated, and allow them to disappear them – to as-is them.
In auditing, we let the person look at an engram or a secondary (loss) until they have cleared it – until they have as-ised it.
We run a process until the PC (preclear) has a release.
This even works in study: when a word is cleared, the misunderstanding dissolves.
One could make a long list of what clears in Scientology.
The person becomes more and more free and looks at things anew in the present. They no longer drag around old solutions and fixed ideas. They also look at the present as it is.
That much about the Thetan, the spiritual being, which is you.
One cannot apply the above one-to-one to the body, but here too it’s better to remove the cause than to resort to medications. Figuratively speaking, it is better to consume little or no alcohol than to take painkillers or whatever to cure a hangover.
I think that with bodies it is often too much of something that causes difficulties. Of course, one can also have too little of something, but in our society of abundance it is often too much.
Generally, one can certainly say that people have a strong tendency to handle difficulties and problems with more instead of with less. When someone has an ailment or difficulty, they get loads of advice.
Listening and understanding are often missing. Our society is based on: “Take. Take. Take. Buy. Buy. Buy. You must. You must. You must.”
I’ve brought up this subject because some truths have recently surfaced.
My experience has shown me that in connection with the subject of health—or rather, illness – an unjustified amount of fear is spread. With a few medications, but especially with antidepressants and vaccines, false promises are made, promises only the pharmaceutical industry and governments can afford to make.
Did you know that the effectiveness of vaccines is only rarely compared with a placebo? In fact, it is almost never compared with the natural effectiveness of the immune system in the unvaccinated. Vaccines are most often compared only with other vaccines. In other words, this year’s flu shot is compared with the effectiveness of last year’s flu shot.
But my logic tells me that one group should be vaccinated and a control group left unvaccinated – and then the two groups compared.
Otherwise, it would be like giving one group of toddlers a new smartphone and another group last year’s model – both groups allowed to play with them endlessly – and then concluding that the new phone has no negative effect on the children.
In 2008 there was a “measles epidemic” in Switzerland (2000 cases in 18 months). I clearly remember the radio reporting that both vaccinated and unvaccinated became ill equally. So much for lifelong protection.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or unexplained infant death are vaccine injuries.
In connection with vaccines, the pharmaceutical industry lies through its teeth.
Here’s an example:
Ron was very cynical about psychiatry. Here’s a report on modern psychiatry:
Less is more. Training Zero. TR 0.
Below, there is a wonderful bulletin, often used in handlings.

Recognition of rightness of the being
Taken from the Tape “Good Indicators” from the 7. January 1964 by L. Ron Hubbard
An auditor’s tendency is to look for wrongnesses. He is always trying to find something wrong with the pc. That’s the nature of Scientology; we assume that there is something wrong with somebody otherwise he wouldn’t be here and be dead in his head, and he would be capable of doing a great deal more than he is doing at the particular moment.
An individual is basically and routinely good, capable of many actions and considerable power.
In the state of a Free Thetan or Native State he is a far more powerful individual than when he’s been complicated up.
It’s the idea of the additive data to the Thetan. Try to give somebody something he doesn’t want and you are going to overthrow his power of choice. His power of choice is the only thing that he had to begin with, which gave him power, capability and anything else and that power of choice has been consistently and continuously overthrown by giving him things he didn’t want and taking away from him things he didn’t want to get rid of back and forth. You get the individual pretty overwhelmed and he goes down in power.
What happened to him actually is he solved something that didn’t need solving. There was something he couldn’t confront so he solved it and he fixed the solution.
Additives
Anytime you fix these solutions, for ever and ever you put the individual down grade. An individual becomes aberrated by additives. His experiences in this universe are usually calculated to degrade and depower him. Now all you have to do is pick up all of these criss-crosses and you return him to power.
Man is an added-to being and everything that has been added to him has decreased his ability to cope. When you add something to the Being he gets worse.
We are in the business of deleting wrongnesses from the individual.
Even the Freudian Analyst realized that some additive had been added that should be deleted. So the idea of deleting something to bring about a recovery is not new with us.
Wrongnesses
Because we are in the business of deleting wrongnesses from the individual we seldom look at rightnesses and that’s what’s wrong with most auditors. They are so anxious to find the wrongness – and quite properly – and they never really look at the rightness. If they don’t look at the rightnesses that are present, then they aren’t appreciating the degrees of truth that are present that can be promoted into more truth.
In other words they are starting at a level of no truth present all the time so of course they never make any forward progress.
You must realize that there must be truth present and that this truth must be recognized and that this is hand-in-glove a part of auditing – the recognition of the fact that truth is present.
If you only look for wrongnesses and only recognize wrongnesses then you will never be able to pull anything up a gradient because you won’t think you have any rightnesses to work with. It just all looks wrong to you.
You have to be able to look at the wrongnesses in order to right them but we also have to be able to look at the rightnesses in order to increase them.
We are only trying to find wrongnesses in order to increase rightnesses, and that’s very important. If you have no rightnesses present in a session you will never be able to make any progress of any kind. Progress is built on a gradient scale of rightnesses by which you delete wrongnesses and they drop and fall away.
Therefore, Processing is an action by which wrongnesses can be deleted from the case to the degree that rightnesses are present in the session. You cannot take a case that doesn’t have any rightness present and delete a wrongness. So you have to realize that there are rightnesses present and then you increase those rightnesses. That makes it possible for you to pick up the wrongnesses and that’s what auditing consists of.
Auditing is a contest of maintaining rightnesses so that we can delete wrongnesses. If you keep on deleting wrongnesses, all the while maintaining and increasing the rightnesses you eventually wind up with a very right being. You are trying to get a right being, therefore if you don’t continually encourage right beingness you never wind up with a right being.
You must learn to observe an auditing session. You want your pc to wind up in a right state – in a more native, more capable, less overwhelmed, higher power of choice sort of state. You want him to wind up with more rightnesses.
Therefore, if you audit so that you do not encourage and increase rightnesses then you won’t wind up with a right pc.
The degree of rightness you have present must exceed the wrongness you are going to pick up. It’s a proportional action. If you’ve got as much wrongness in a session as you’ve got rightness you’re not riding on any cushion. It makes a very difficult job of auditing. If you want to pick up this little wrongness, you have to have rightnesses present which are big enough to engulf it. That makes easy auditing.
If the rightnesses in the session are very minor and the problem is a tiny one, there isn’t enough rightness in the session to handle the problem and the pc cannot erase it.
The pc’s ability to as-is or erase in a session is directly proportional to the number of good indicators present in the session.
And his inability to cope in a session rises proportionally to the number of bad indicators present in a session.
Any process has its own series of bad indicators. And the bad indicator moves in when the good indicator moves out. So you have to have a primary knowledge of good indicators.
Don’t look for bad indicators on and on and on; you’ll drive the pc around the bend and suppress the good indicators. What you want to do is know your good indicators for the level you are running so well that when one of them disappears out of the session, your ears go up and you instantly look for the bad indicator. Don’t look for the bad indicator until you see the vanishment of the good indicator. Otherwise you’re continually prowling around looking for wrongnesses in a session and you keep a pc very upset and you get no auditing done of any kind whatsoever.
Remember this next time you see a pc start to bog and drag and flounder one way or the other. You’ve got to get the pc’s good indicators back in before you can get the pc to handle what you want him to handle.
What influences the attitude of the pc is an ARC Break (that of course is influenced earlier by the auditor’s behavior), or the pc has an overt on the auditor or the pc has a missed withhold.
An auditor who never gets in and finds out what is wrong in the session – the reasonable auditor – messes up pcs like mad.
If all the good indicators are present the auditor knows he is doing a good job of auditing.
