- Scientology and the Group
Introduction: A great article about how our society works. And yes, more auditing is needed, it is the key to a high level civilization. Auditing civilizes. Enjoy reading it. Much love, Max Hauri Scientology and the Group Certainty Vol. 15, Nr. 6, 1st of June 1968 Scientology has the answer to mankind's deepest problem – how to live happily with his fellow man, how to take responsibility for the survival of the group. All groups begin with an individual. All great cathedrals began their building by the placement of a single stone and the building unit of a great society is the individual. The social ills of man are chiefly a composite of his personal difficulties. The combined dishonesties of individuals add to the formidable total of aberrated groups and mankind as a whole. In evolutionary terms, man has developed and evolved through various stages and in this development, changes have been regulated by survival. He evolved several methods of survival, of getting along. The group is one method, for man achieved better results in the group or pack. If man were not basically good and the laws of tooth and claw and self- preservation prevailed there would be no one on Earth at this time. The theory that the group consists of individuals working for self-preservation is thus not true. The more analytical the beast, the more cooperative the group. Today, we have arrived at a very special plateau of knowledge. We know without shadow of doubt the way to enable man to live happily and responsibly within the group, both of his own immediate circle and the wider area of his nation and race. We are winning across the world because we have kept the vision bright and we know how groups function. A group consists of communication points, which are people who have at least some things upon which they are in agreement. Over long periods, they have worked out answers. A fact of civilization is that it contains agreed-upon customs, mores, grades and standards of conduct, certain things which are agreed-upon as normal. It doesn't matter much whether they are normal or abnormal, good or bad. Does it assist the general survival? This is the only test of such customs and standards. Any time any large group or organization in this universe has adopted policies which are anti-survival for the individual as well as for the group itself, that group has gone to dust. It has not survived well because its customs were not good for the survival of the race. A civilization breaks down on this basis, that the means of communication are no longer taught in that society. Its customs, its policies, this sort of thing, are not taught, so the people inside that society can't work together and have no cooperation. Where there is no cooperation, the people don't know the customs on which they are operating. The net result of that is decay, decline and vanishment of the group. Scientology, as a group, is composed of people who want to get more able in life and live a better life. If we expect ourselves to get along in the world, or expect there to be a world in which to get along, why, we haven't really any choice but to go on and use our information. If we don't exhibit our science as a group, and show a good example, what can we achieve? If you are a practitioner, you try to help people. If you have technology, you use it for the survival of the group. If you have knowledge and so forth, you should use it to assist others. These are the traditions which have built the great civilizations of this planet and the great civilizations of this universe are all operated in those traditions. Those are customs, they have proven to be survival characteristics. Scientology methodology is a skilled know-how applied to the whole group from the individual through all levels to the wide field of society. The skill applicable to the individual is applicable to the group also. When you have two people communicating more freely through Scientology processing, who were not communicating well earlier, it frees the communication lines, and there will be better communication throughout the group via the individual's family into the wider group of his business and political life. Individuals receiving processing and training find their lives improving beyond measure because, with their personal problems handled, they are able to better the conditions of their partners and families, and wider groups, which widen out into the nation and races of the planet. All things start with the individual. Without that there is no group activity. This is true whether one runs a family or a business, a nation or a world. A sane group is an expression of communication by those who could, each one, stand alone. A group cannot run with other than able individuals. And we are the experts on human ability. L. Ron Hubbard Founder
- Wisdom and Ignorance, Training and Self-determinism
Introduction: A great article on training and self-determinism. Really good! A must read or listen to. https://www.ronsorg.space/blog . Much love Max Hauri Wisdom and ignorance – training and self-determinism Taken from the lecture " Training of Auditors " given on the 16 July 1954 by L. Ron Hubbard You will discover that is difficult to train new people. By training a new person you are training him up against his livingness. You are, to some degree, training him up against a set of realities which he holds which might or might not be true. You are training him on the common denominator of considerations on the track which brought him to the point where he is. Obviously then the training will restimulate him. All you have to do is teach somebody very thoroughly about ARC and the various parts of communication and the considerations which go into making up that communication and you will discover that he gets restimulated. He might be a very bright boy and you could easily go out and show him how to drive a "Satmobile" or you could show him how to knit or do almost anything. Or how to be a general (being a private is more complicated). You could probably teach him any one of these things rather easily. And you will discover that his ability to learn to some degree slows down the second you begin to train him in Scientology. Why? It's the incoming comm lag. As you teach him, you start to bust up his case. ["Incoming comm lag" refers to all kinds of restimulations that arise in the student's mind. The intention of the teacher or the study materials must pass through these restimulations to reach the thetan.] If you were to think of teaching in terms of evaluation, you might yourself, after a while, begin to conceive yourself to be guilty of an overt act against the student. You are obviously constantly evaluating for him, aren't you? Obviously. No, you're not. You're pointing out to him the woof and warp of life. And if you didn't point this out to him, he would never get anywhere near it. His comm lag itself would shy him off of it. Wisdom and Ignorance Here's the difference between wisdom and ignorance: Any wisdom, from whatever source, would be better than ignorance on the same subject. Any wisdom is better than ignorance, whether it's other-determined, self-determined – it doesn't matter. But where it comes to instruction, any wisdom is better than ignorance on that subject. So, you've chosen only the lesser harmful thing. You could train in an entirely different way. You could train in this wise: you could just process the person till he discovered all these answers. That would be possible if you cared to invest some fifty or a hundred hours on a person every time you were going to train him, you could then bring him up to a realization of these various points. Culture The communication of the information is the more difficult part, however. An individual can know all about the subject of life and livingness and yet have great difficulty putting it into language. Easily the biggest stunt, you might say, in the formation of Scientology, is the adequate codification of the information so that it could be relayed, so that the information becomes a Third Dynamic subject. The amount of harm which you will accomplish by "evaluating for" your student is negligible today because you have processes adequate to the instruction. It's negligible. Simply training somebody will have a tendency to bring him up in tone. In darkness, any shining star possessing some constancy is better than no star at all. So evaluation is a word which harshly may be assigned to your instruction of a student, but how else would he get there? And quite, quite strangely, if you would care to investigate savage cultures (of which I've investigated a few) you would discover that it is ignorance itself, it is a lack of wisdom in that community itself which brings about terror, injustice, maltreatment, decay and deteriorization. Wisdom afloat in a culture makes the culture. The very definition, culture, could be summated by the amount of technology, knowingness, wisdom, in existence in that culture. What you call today Western culture is a combination of knowingnesses which summate into a higher, more decent form of life than can be achieved in other areas where that wisdom does not exist. However much harm might come about to a society through becoming mechanized by finally mechanizing itself up to a point of where it blows itself to pieces – however much harm might come about because of that – any part of that harm could be nullified by a sufficient, broad spread of wisdom. In other words, it is only the fact that the atom bomb is arriving in mystery, in a civilization which still bows down to superstition. [In 1954 when this lecture was given, people were still in shock and awe over the devastating effects from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The lack of information about what an atom bomb is and what it does, led to much superstition.] It is a very superstitious culture, this Western world – very. It believes in invisible gods, visitations, mumbo jumbo. And an atom bomb arriving in that unstable a condition in the society, of course, can produce an enormous amount of harm because the humanities have been outstripped and overbalanced by a technology appertaining only to the physical universe and leaving out of its computation, the mind, life, beingness. Never worry for a moment how much you evaluate for somebody if it's in the line of what life is all about. And you're simply talking to him about the generalities of wisdom itself. Don't discount this. You can't hurt him. Harmful evaluation The way you can hurt somebody is to evaluate specifically: "The trouble with you is …" And that is what we mean by harmful evaluation. It almost must be preceded by, "The trouble with you is …" And so we find the main difficulty with evaluation, in general, is the fact that it validates somebody's difficulties. Wisdom is not the difficulty. The difficulty is the unknowingness. Now, if you were to talk to somebody and teach him in this wise, "I am talking to you because the trouble with you is you are so stupid, you see, because you don't know these things, because you've never run across these things, because you haven't got two brain cells to knock together. That's why I've got to talk to you this way." If you trained anyone in that sort of an atmosphere, you would not be training anyone. The only reason you can relay the information to him at all is because it has deeply subjective experience behind it. You can relay the information of Scientology to him as well as he has experienced it on the whole track and no better – not a bit better. And so you are perhaps spotting up for him and telling him on an other-determinism that there are many unknown things on the track. The funny part of it is that all he has to do is look around in life and recognize these facts and large chunks of bank blow on it, just like that. You notice that a preclear can get well because you, the auditor, are indicating the process. Well, you don't conceive that to be evaluation. Well, don't ever conceive training in Scientology to be evaluation for the preclear. Have I made my point on that? Processing I can tell you clearly that it's almost impossible to very widely train anybody in Scientology without, at the same time, doing two other things: getting that person to do some processing and getting some processing for that person. And if you can't get him to do these two things, why, you're sort of talking to the wind. His realities on what you are talking about are grouped in with many, many other realities. He's been told so often by a teacher or a writer that there's this, there's that, there's something or other, that he no longer has any great differentiation. It is the processing which he does and the processing which he receives, which gives him the differentiative factor from other data and information which he has imbibed, which isolates the information for him. Now, you can give him a barrage of information, a tremendous quantity of data and afterwards you would find, if you examined him carefully, that it had gone into and mixed up with Christian Science, it had mixed up with Rosicrucianism, it had mixed up with something he read one time that Schopenhauer wrote and Thus Spake Zarathustra – if he'd ever heard of that – and the subject of creative art and mechanical drawing. And it had kind of all mixed up and it was as though you put him in a washing machine and turned the paddles up to high speed. Now, you could just pour the information at him and just by sheer voice, enforce upon him, "Space is a viewpoint of dimension. Now if you ever answer that otherwise – space really is a viewpoint of dimension, and space is a viewpoint of dimension – and if you don't agree with me and think otherwise, why, I'm afraid we're going to have to flunk you or penalize you in some way." This individual has not been trained, because he has not been given a differentiative factor. He has not differentiated this. Space is space is space when you first start training him. And then he starts seeing, as he is processed, that as he looks, so he has space. He begins to conceive this as a thetan. As he looks, so he has space. Up to that time space was just a chunk of stuff to him. And he had no great use for it and he couldn't do anything for it. All of a sudden he begins to tie it in with other difficulties, and he begins to see what space is, how it is formed, and he realizes quite clearly, "Yes, space is a viewpoint of dimension. It is a viewpoint of dimension." He has as much space as he can perceive. And really, he has as much space as he can know. But he gets this subjectively and he gets some subjective reality upon it and even though the subjective reality which he receives upon it is slight, it has still differentiated the datum for him. Self-determinism On the field of instruction, you're certainly interfering with somebody's self-determinism. Don't think for a moment that you aren't. This person obviously was very self-determined to go along with the public school system and the Republican Party. All of a sudden you're telling him all sorts of things that aren't held to be true in the public school system or the Republican Party, which, if they held them to be true, would no longer be the public school system and the Republican Party. You're just crushing into him like mad. Self-determinism? Why, you're destroying his self-determinism, obviously. Or was there any there to destroy? Or I mean, how much was present? That's the question. Now, if you want to restore his self-determinism, you've certainly got to interrupt it someplace. What self-determinism is this? I think this is what Schopenhauer meant when he said, "will." He said, "Stubbornness is the will taking the place of the intellect," which is nice and bright. But at the same time, doesn't this rather define "will" as meant by Schopenhauer? Will. One time somebody came tearing in from some squirrel layout [Kind of an off beat Scientology event] and they'd heard the first hour of a tape I had made on the subject of self-determinism, and he had decided that he was going to be self-determined, and he was self-determined and this was self-determinism. And he defined it to somebody in this wise: (this is self-determinism) "You see that – that (one of the kids' toys lying there), now, you see that – that toy lying there? Now, if you wanted it, that would be you exerting your self-determinism – go over and pick it up. But if I wanted it, why, I would go over and pick it up." And the person said, "Well, but what if I picked it up while you wanted it?" He said, "Well, then, I could really exert my self-determinism and I could kill you if you touched it and therefore, it would have been a self-determined action." This seemed a bit confused to me, but this is generally what's rather well-understood as self-determinism, is the exertion of unlimited will. And any time you exert an unlimited will, you violate the remaining dynamics, don't you? Here, if you went around and killed off all life in all directions in an effort to communicate with a nothingness, it doesn't look to me like you would wind up completely free. This doesn't add up as a possibility. So therefore, what your student, if you caught him raw and he was having a bad time, would define as self-determinism would be the liberty he could use in exertion of will. How much will is he permitted to exert? Your psycho comes up through that band, goes into a rage, he wants to get into the rumpus room and tear everything up. He believes all other-determinisms are contrary to his own. Well, now that's a very limited viewpoint right there, isn't it? "All other-determinism are contrary to my own." That's a definition of "paranoia." Well, Man's complete freedom happens to lie, unfortunately for such thinking, in his recognition of his brotherhood with the entire universe. And in his failure to recognize this, he will fail. Now, somebody goes down into apathy – there is always a mockery band on the bottom of the scale – somebody goes down into apathy and he says, "Well, I won't hurt anything. Everything can walk over me. I don't mean any harm to anything." And you start processing this fellow and he comes up out of apathy and he'll rampage around for a while until he discovers something vaguely resembling a First Dynamic. And then he can go on up to a Third Dynamic. Freedom of viewpoint Self-determinism was a concept of very early days of Scientology and the late days of Dianetics. We have exceeded the concept – exceeded it very markedly. And in the place of self-determinism, we get freedom of viewpoint. Instead of self-determinism, we now have freedom of viewpoint. You see how these two things would merge, one with another, and how freedom of viewpoint is a tremendously higher concept than self-determinism? Because freedom of viewpoint would mean it's perfectly all right for you to argue with yourself any day you want to, if you'll just remember you're arguing with yourself. You can even forget that if you'll remember it again. Here you have yourself at source-point and yourself at receipt-point. And when an individual is really doing well, he doesn't care whether he's at source-point or receipt-point or how much distance is in between them or how close they are together or whether they're completely identified – it's perfectly all right with him. He can be relaxed about it. Not because he's in apathy and has to be relaxed about it, but because he can be relaxed about it, that's why. One person that's monitored by is you. It's monitored by at least you. And so it isn't free within its own line, it'd be free under you, this beingness, which is being monitored from source-point alone. Your body, right this moment, is only free under your rule. But within that limitation, it has some freedom. And this is beingness. So, in training, in training don't ever worry about interrupting somebody's self-determinism. You have to be, to some degree, a policeman in all training. You have to know where to cut the line. You have to know where to indulge freedom and where to impose a barrier. And until you have achieved an agreement on the part of your students as to the workability, the simplicity of the technologies which you're trying to relay, you will find you have to bar many doors. Don't forget to open them up again after they have a reality on what you're trying to teach. In training, the self-determinism which you're trying to bring forward is the actual self-determinism of the person – not an imposed social determinism which is, as far as we can see, "will" taking the place of the intellect.

- Truth and Reality
Introduction: Here is a Technical Advice Letter, "Truth and Reality Case Progress Levels I-IV". What Ron said on March 17, 1964 is very, very relevant. Training Camp: For those who are interested, please contact me. Ron's Org Grenchen Info Channel: More information on: https://t.me/+T87-hfEiQX00NGE8 Essential information is always in German, French and English; just scroll. Note: The newsletter including quoted bulletins or other issues can always be read or downloaded on the blog in German, French or English. German: https://www.ronsorg.ch/blog French: https://www.ronsorg.fr/blog English : https://www.ronsorg.space/blog Truth and Reality Case progress at Levels I-IV ( Quotes from L. Ron Hubbard's lecture of March 17, 1964 ) Truth is what exists. A pc must gain realities on the truth of situations in order to have case gain. Too much truth shown or given a pc at once will cause unreality. There must be a gradient of gaining reality on truth. The Levels of Scientology are such a gradient. ____________________ Knowing the truth of any situation supports self-confidence, certainty. ____________________ Reality is the ability to assimilate Truth. This assimilation depends upon Cause-Distance-Effect (Communication) and a balanced frame of mind (Affinity). Thus, a truth must be given someone, a pc, with ARC (Understanding). Otherwise, it will spin the person. Too much truth is unassimilatable but recognizable truth. The person sees it but can't have it. ____________________ Hit with too much truth an individual will degrade. He has seen something that he knows he cannot reach or win. Thus a pc must be presented with acceptable truths that he can reach and win on a gradient of more and more reality. This gradient exists in the processing and training levels of Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard
- Jealousy
Introduction: Jealousy could be characterized as, "I am the only one who has the power to grant life. And that, damn it, insists on granting life to. And therefore we have two functions here which are not compatible, and so it must die." And that's your jealousy. The power to grant life. Here is part two of Max's interview in Moscow, again in English. I can only recommend it 😊👌 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ds_sKbD_Q Here again part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04WC1Nvztrg Much love Max Hauri Granting Life and Death Excerpt from the lecture Application of Theory to Cases: Life and Death, “Only One” by L. Ron Hubbard given on the 14 July 1954. The most valuable energy which an individual has is that energy involved in the granting of life. An integral portion of the granting of life is the granting of self determinism. Once you have granted life to something, then the only way to prove that it is separately alive is to permit it to function on its own self determinism. Jealousy could be characterized as, "I am the only one who has the power to grant life. And that, damn it, insists on granting life to. And therefore we have two functions here which are not compatible, and so it must die." And that's your jealousy. The power to grant life. Most people try to grant death because they couldn't grant life, and that is why we get the cycle of action which goes from create, through survive to destroy. It doesn't go destroy, through survive, to create. It goes the other way around. When they fail to grant life, and cause anything to continue with that life, they grant death. That is the inevitable sequence. People try to shame other people with the past, so the past becomes a football upon the playing field. Two people in an argument, "You said this yesterday." They never can keep past tense out of their damn arguments. Always got to have past tense in the argument. "That was what you said yesterday!" They think the past can actually grant ownership of things, or settle disputes or something. He does something obligingly, and then he sits there and waits. He's waiting for a consequence. This whole man's life is caged about by the horrible consequences of his own actions. If he takes or makes an action of any character or kind, there is going to be a consequence. He is not certain of anything except this, if he were to kill a man he'd get hanged, only he doesn't even dare think that boldly. He thinks if he in a restaurant drops a teacup and makes a slight clatter in the restaurant, he immediately expects the proprietor to come over and hit him on the head with a club. This is the sort of a life this fellow's leading. He's expecting consequences for any action, and he believes that almost anything he does will be a misdemeanor, and so of course he's not in motion and of course he can't indulge in effort. His life is devoted to making a cautious action, and then being very careful to observe whether or not something bad occurred. And all you have to do is disabuse him of the fact there are going to be consequences for these insignificant actions, and he feels much better about life. And he can be source, and thereafter he can be something. Now you see where he goes immediately? He moves over onto source point. He dares be on that source point, because he isn't going to get punished. This is one of the reasons 8-C works, if he observes at length that there's nothing horrible happening to him as a result of being ordered around. He can actually obey a command without something horrible happening to him. The next thing he discovers is that he's touching these things, and after that if you were to take a preclear who couldn't be anything, and then run some 8-C Opening Procedure on that preclear for a while, you would discover that after you had done this thoroughly and well that your preclear could be something. In order to be anything, a man has to be able to identify himself with a receipt point or a source point on the communication formula. If he can't be at receipt point or source point in the communication formula, of course there's nothing he can identify himself with. If he could just be a dead man and feel some conviction that he was being a dead man, he would at least be at receipt point. Well if an individual cannot be at receipt point at all, he doesn't even dare be a dead man, and so he walks around through life a zombie. If he could come up scale high enough he would be a dead man. You will find a great many people walking around proving that they bring death to things. How do they prove this? They show you a withered leg, or a disfigured head or something of the sort. The most valuable energy which an individual has is that energy involved in the granting of life. L. Ron Hubbard
- Calling all Auditors - Summary
Introduction: Here are the last two bulletins on “CALL TO ALL AUDITORS” - Summary by Rosamond Harper. The last bulletin in particular is a beautiful summary. It is well worth reading carefully and understanding. Life without help is not possible, and if it is too limited, it is sad. all the wealth on Earth will not make you happy. It is about helping and being helped. Ron's Org Grenchen Info Canal on Telegram: https://t.me/+T87-hfEiQX0ONGE8 Blog: https://www.ronsorg.space/blog Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below. Calling all Auditors - Summary Bulletin 3. August 1960 just below. And as an attachment only: Calling all Auditors about Help – Bulletin 6. July 1960 It appears that the basis of all aberration is a Thetan's consideration that he cannot confront an uncomfortable effect. Life being a free interchange between life forms – a giving and receiving with no barriers, presupposes granting of beingness, ARC, Understanding. Grief, fear, anger, antagonism simply don't come into the picture, there is no need for them. All this we know theoretically. But at this stage of the game we have traveled some way down the dwindling spiral. Life, lets call it Help (for by granting life freely we are helping) has taken on a new meaning for us. From complete confrontingness, free interchange, granting of beingness, we have passed through various stages of lesser and lesser understanding. An effect on me was considered 'bad' – an overt, so one became a 'victim' and felt pity for 'victims'. One occluded overts and looked for motivators to justify more overts and in so doing got caught in the automaticity of the Overt Motivator Sequence, that sorry game of homo sap. But basically man is good, so he tries to solve this difficulty by cutting down his abilities so that he doesn't hurt others too much and this leads to a far less than optimum way of living. Too many barriers and too little confrontingness results in identification. Help becomes injury, and injury becomes help. One unit of time becomes identified with another unit of time, and as in all reactive level activities there is no longer any truth or light. Ron in discovering that Help is the basis of all identifications and thus the key to unravelling the Reactive mind, has given us a sharp edged tool which used intelligently cannot fail. The bank falls to pieces, the thetan emerges from his confusion and begins to look. Once he looks he can make more and more self-determined considerations and so cease to continue embroiling himself in constant confusion. In short he ceases to associate and identify, he unravels the help-betrayal dichotomy and becomes free. We have several Help processes, and so far experiences proves that the fastest methods are as follows. Find a real and hot terminal and watch the pc's Tone Arm. If reading consistently at 4 at 4 or 5 the pc is resisting mightily what 'is'. He has solid screens of built up resistance to cope with. He says in essence 'I won't confront'. Well Help O/W is a bit high at this stage. It calls for an actuality of confronting for which the pc is not yet capable. He will bog down, have long comm-lags, and it's 'all unreal'. So undercut with Concept Help. For here he just 'thinks of' or 'gets the idea of' helping, which is confronting on a gradient scale, or looking obliquely at what he cannot look straight at. As Ron says it is "below the level of articulate thought which of course means that it bangs away at reactive thought" and it surely does. He can, on a gradient scale, look at or at least take a peep at what he can't fully confront yet. This also applies to the very low Tone Arm reading (the mindless object). The nearer to the Clear reading the pc gets the less resistance he has to confronting. He is able to take more responsibility for his 'bad cause'. Then run Help O/W with benefit. Always run Alternate Confront and Havingness with 'Help' in the proportion Ron suggests, unless of course the pc needs more Havingness. With those tools the Reactive Bank is doomed. But tools alone are not enough. The auditor must use them intelligently. Here at HCO WW we get a wide bird's eye view of what is going on both in all the HGCs and in the field. For your information here are our weak points: 1. Too much talking. Audit – don't talk. 2. Changing terminals in mid-stream. 3. Abandoning a process to deal with a somatic which turned on while running the terminal. What turned it on will turn it off. Continue with the process. 4. Not sticking to the proportions Ron lays down of Alternate Confront and Havingness. These have their very definite part to play and if neglected the case will suffer. 5. Do not alter-is commands. Ron has valid reason for the wording he chooses. Never state as did one auditor "I didn't have time to run Havingness". Never be unobservant enough to report, as one auditor did last week to the question as to needle reaction on Help – "Didn't notice". Keep ARC high – deal with PTPs, keep the O/Ws fluid and make clears. Issued by: Rosamond Harper Technical Secretary WW for L. Ron Hubbard Dear friends, Here are the last two bulletins on “CALL TO ALL AUDITORS” by Rosamond Harper. The last bulletin in particular is a beautiful summary. It is well worth reading carefully and understanding. Ultimately, we want to help so much, and it is a realization I also had that has changed my life in a very positive way: Helping is life. What I have come to understand is that if you want people to like you, whatever the dynamic, make sure they can help and support you. If you want to have enemies or become an Only-One, don't let people help you. Only-One (Lonely Wolf): To not be in communication with anyone. There are two ways to become an “Only-One”: a) you commit so many overts that you can't communicate with others and are excluded from life, or b) you become so “intelligent” that you can't or won't share your reality with others. For example, if you were to travel three centuries into the past, you would feel very lonely. As Ron said, it can be very lonely at the top. Believe me, people don't like you because you help them. You can take this literally. It is not an invitation not to help, quite to the contrary, because if you don't help others, you won't love anyone, and so you will become an Only-One. Life without help is not possible, and if it is too limited, it is sad. Money, a salary, an unconditional basic income, all the wealth on Earth will not make you happy. It is about helping and being helped.When people will have understood this principle, we will have a paradise on Earth. That is why Ron has always held co-auditing in high esteem. Much love.

- Dwindling Spiral
Calling all Auditors about Help (3) Introduction: An excellent Bulletin that perfectly explains the Dwindling Spiral and also one of my favorite statements from Ron: “You get what you resist”. It is a philosophy of life to face up counter-efforts and not resist them. Be ready to face all that is coming. Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below. Calling all Auditors about Help (3) –Dwindling Spiral Bulletin from the 5 July 1960 In connection with Ron's new basic approach to finally understanding the way to "clearing" the Factors give us an illuminating look at the fundamentals. "Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the Cause was the creation of effect." "The decision is TO BE." And Ron goes on to tell of assuming a Viewpoint and the extending from the viewpoint of dimension points. And thus there is Space. He goes on to tell us that the action of a dimension point is reaching and withdrawing, so that from the Viewpoint to the Dimension point is connection and interchange. Thus there is communication and light, energy and life. So here we have a potential Oneness. No barriers therefore a complete Confrontingness. This adds up to a granting of Beingness, to all others, a complete lack of fear and criticism. To confront freely just what is equals being Cause, in that one can be complete Effect, which is the ability to accept anything, and this equals granting of Beingness, which is Life. So what? Somewhere along the line a thetan made the consideration that too big an effect was dangerous to survival and when much pain entered the picture he couldn't confront it, so rather than face it, grant it beingness and "have" the effect, he resists it mightily and finally does a total "no confront" and occludes it. And so starts the dwindling spiral. Effect on me is dangerous, let's resist it. Finally we put up barriers anyway, just in case there might be an effect in the offing. So, there is blockage, resistance, a fear of helping or being helped, and as this grows we get a compulsive separateness. But it is not really a separateness, it is a compulsive togetherness and here is the trap. At the top of the scale life is one and separate at the same time, we give and receive help – granting of beingness freely. Lower we bind ourselves to one another by our O/Ws. So that my original and continuing Overt is basically against myself, for I hurt myself to the exact ratio that I hurt others, for I am others and become more and more compulsively so in a dwindling spiral until we get to the Valence stage and here I, in mystery and unknowingness become that which I failed to help, "can't have," can't confront. So life is still one but now it is compulsively so and most of us don't know it. We seem to separate, but are in reality bound and imprisoned and complete effect of what? Our own creations. The only freedom is in giving and receiving help. But this is dangerous, this might be control or interference, in short it is "betrayal." This explained in terms of energy makes the picture very clear. Every creation is Thought – an energy flow. A highly mobile affinity energy wave has no compulsive sticky cohesive power, one can give and receive it without being caught by it. As we sink downscale we create heavier and more cohesive energy which not only entraps us, but in attracting energy of like turgid intensity, binds us even more securely to that which we resist or can't help. The dwindling spiral finally brings us to a low interest level in life and as interest dwindles so does Communication. If one doesn't communicate there is no or little interchange and no finishing cycles of action, so no control. Finally, almost no thetan present to help or not help. So in pre-session we get the pc to clear off a few confusions by looking at and discussing in an atmosphere of granting of beingness those points. Those of you who have audited the Deadly Quartet will have watched confusion and not-is-ness flying off and in running the various Help processes a pc really looks at why he feels help is betrayal, why he shies away from it. Barriers drop, the pc begins to realize it is his own resistance to effects which makes an effect dangerous. Why do so many of us feel Affinity is dangerous. Is it because complete affinity means no barriers, no mistrust, no suspicions and this might mean having to confront an effect which is painful! It is our own resistance to pain which holds it there. Otherwise how could an Assist be successful? Once confronted in Present Time and the pain goes. Once the mis-emotion in an incident is confronted the incident has no more effect. We held it there, why? Well maybe the answer is that we didn't know what we were doing. Ron has now told us, we understand the mechanism of the reactive mind, we understand that only our own creations can entrap us – and the road is clear ahead. Once the ridges and resistances of long ago and now are looked at, they de-intensify. Auditing does this. There is no need to build them up again. Thanks Ron. Rosamond Harper HCO Technical Secretary WW for L. Ron Hubbard Dear Friends, Here is an interview with me about my time in the church of Scientology and what happened next. In English and Russian: Max: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04WC1Nvztrg Here's an interview with Erica, in English and Russian: Erica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNP_kpWlXAw Here are some insights from the latest training camps: [Pictures]. https://www.camprons.org/media#rec694932915 You can read the previous newsletters in our blog: https://www.ronsorg.space/blog Above the bulletin about “Calling all Auditors about Help – Dwindling Spiral”. An excellent Bulletin that perfectly explains the Dwindling Spiral and also one of my favorite statements from Ron: “You get what you resist”. Sometimes pain is hard to bear, but very often I have been able to manage pain by reversing the flow and not resisting it, but accepting it, even loving it. And after a while, it disappeared. It is a philosophy of life to face up counter-efforts and not resist them. TR 0 is just that. Being ready to confront whatever comes. And until you are able to do that, you may well go through hell with pain, somatics and misemotions. It stops just when you confront the unconscious, yet powerful, counter-effort. It is pointless asking what kind of counter-effort it was. It often disappears and we don't know what it was. Gone, it is gone. Much love, Max Hauri
- Cause and Effect
Calling all Auditors about Help (4) Introduction: Cause and effect! L. Ron Hubbard emphasizes that when you justify and "un-guilt" yourself, you become an effect. An important purpose of Scientology is to make someone become more and more cause, to be more confident and start things. Nobody else but the person himself is responsible for his life! Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below. Cause and Effect Calling All Auditors About Help (4) – HCOB 16 June 1960 After several weeks of getting grooved into Help processing we have a clearer picture of progress made, of refinements of running, and above all – of the fundamental importance of this basic approach to a case. A pc approaches us to be helped in some way, he probably feels life has – dealt him a raw deal and that as a "Victim" he is very much effect of the dreadfully unfair things which have "happened" to him. We, with the wider knowledge of life that Scientology gives, know that a person becomes aberrated only by means of his own, not another's, actions. Others can obviously influence and harm us if we let them. We usually do and until this fact becomes clear through our own cognition, go on blaming others. This of course, gets us nowhere fast. Life is just as full and happy as our communication to other life forms is free – without fear, blame or hesitancy. Any other attitude but trust and understanding will build barriers of resistance between ourselves and those we live and work with. This cuts down life potential tremendously. Now, how to get this over to a "victim" pc? Help does it and fast. Our results from all over the world this week have been better than ever. Clear cut differences in profiles, with greatly changed considerations and advances in IQ. Tackle a case with pre-session and easy two-way comm, on the Deadly Quartet. This brings the confusion off in clouds – shake as many O/W out as possible, but don't run them. An easier pc now grooves into Model Session, finds his goals – clears his Auditor, if necessary with two-way Help; PTP personnel with O/W; and will tell you whom or what he wants to help. Find this out and pick up the first terminal he ever tried to help in his history of Dianetics and Scientology. If the needle is sticky start with Concept Help. This run with Alternate Confront and plenty of Havingness is a powerful combination. Ron explains that your difficult pc only "helps" a terminal he finds impossible to confront so by running that terminal we are restiming him. Alternate confront helps him Look at this terminal and you have a happier preclear. Don't forget the Havingness – "Look around here and find something you could have". He needs enough. Go on from here to Help O/W on assessed terminal and run flat, flat, flat. Never leave a terminal until the needle is nul. One terminal really flattened progresses a case for more than several half run. This is very important. Remember a pc's case is his valences. If he were basically himself he wouldn't need you. Help strips valences, but while he is a combination of them, it is no good running Responsibility as such. He will gleefully make his Aunt Matilda entirely responsible and this doesn't solve anything. Responsibility can be used at this stage only for easing off an unwisely chosen terminal. Run old O/W alternate Confront or Responsibility. Run general terminals in preference to near PT specific ones. Back track comes flying up. Continue to run Help. Dating incidents is not necessary here and will break into a fast working process, so don't be tempted. Control If pc is interested in his case he'll be in control, so don't run it. If he is in urgent need of control run CCHs but he'd have to be psychotic or unconscious. These are the latest tools Ron has handed us. They are geared for the job of clearing any pc. Use them intelligently; keep ARC high and have the intention to Clear. You will. Rosamond Harper HCO Technical Secretary WW for L. Ron Hubbard Dear friends, I love the subject of cause and effect! In particular, Ron emphasizes that when you justify and "un-guilt" yourself, you become an effect. An important purpose of Scientology is to make someone become more and more cause, to be more confident and start things. Nobody else but the person himself is responsible for his life! The bulletin above describes it very clearly. A Scientologist is not a victim. Help is an important, albeit dangerous, stage. It is very important that someone can accept and give help. But the help of making someone cause is more important than simply getting a few problems out of their way or slipping them some money or giving them some well-meant advice. Good help consists of insisting that someone does something or gets something done. It's better than doing it for them. Unfortunately, the second is often easier. You can read more about this in previous newsletters, especially here: https://www.ronsorg.space/post/calling-all-auditors-about-help Question and Answer Ron is certainly still with us. To my understanding Scientology was not his only and alone effort to increase Homo sapiens, there have been more efforts and it is going on. And Capt. Bill also said that we have a lot of people here on earth working for that goal. In other words I am pretty sure he is working hard but I can't tell you where he is or what he is doing and when we will see him again and in what form and body. I guess I do know Ron's answer to such a question: I have given you the tech, it is up to you to get the show on the Start! Much love Max Hauri
- Calling all Auditors-3
Introduction: "Calling all Auditors-3" or how there is no need to look further afield for lack of good auditing results… And discover why help is fundamental to run. This is a technical blog aimed primarily at professional Auditors. Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below. Calling All Auditors-3 Bulletin 11. May 1960 There is no need to look further afield for lack of good auditing results than the fact that few auditors seem to know exactly what a free needle, null for any specific terminal is. As many auditors have been confused on this point, this is a new pair of technical definitions. Null needle: Needle does not react on a particular terminal but reacts on other terminals. Free needle: Needle does not react on any terminal. Clear, idly swinging, free. This needle only registers bodily activity such as heartbeats, bloodstream and breathing. It moves quietly to and fro across the dial varying in its swing and pattern for individual pcs but never jerkily or reactively. This point can be reached in relation to any terminal. "Mum" may be run to a free needle, so we call this 'null' for Mum. "Dad" may be anything but free so Dad has not been run to a 'null' needle. A clear would be 'null' on anyone or anything and would have a free needle on all incidents or terminals. There are many Help processes to achieve this. Assess for any hot terminal after the needle frees up a bit on the five way bracket, etc., and run Help O/W: "How could you help __________?" "How would you not help __________?" "Recall a time you helped __________." "Recall a time you did not help __________." These are fantastic processes. But no process is a magical formula for clearing people, without the addition of an intelligent well trained auditor. And no auditor is either well trained or intelligent if he does not run a terminal flat. This is no longer even vaguely guess work or dependent upon the judgment of the auditor alone. A good meter is an invaluable and utterly necessary tool. When the meter says FLAT with its nice easy flowing needle action you can believe it. It is flat. Until the needle says flat and Tone Arm points to Sex Clear, well there is no argument, the process is not flat. So watch your preclear, run general help, pick a hot terminal and run help watch your meter and trust it. You'll get clears. Rosamond Harper HCO Technical Secretary for L. Ron Hubbard Dear friends, In response to my last newsletter, I received a few inquiries about what kind of help processes can be run, where they can be found, etc. These processes are certainly run at Grade 1. There is a whole section dedicated to the topic of help. Ron also says that running help is fundamental. In general, Grade 1 consists of the following three sections: (a) Objective Processes and CCHs, Control [CCH = control, communication and havingness] It's about improving the relationship of the thetan to the physical universe and the body. One can also say to improve or establish the ARC to these two elements. This knowledge, when understood, is brilliant. You can do wonders with a new learner driver by running first reach and withdraw on a car and improving his ARC before you put him behind the wheel. You can do the same with spiders. I guarantee you that this process can neutralize any spider phobia to the point of loving spiders. It may take hours if not days, but it can be done. Objective processes and CCHs address the most basic things in a person's life and improve their relationship with them. First and foremost, it's about his body. It also runs out hypnosis, tiredness, disinterest and things like that. Control must also be flattened. This is described in the HCOB April 21, 1960 Pre-Session Processes. You must be able to control, but you must also allow to be controlled. b) Help. As described in the last newsletter, the bulletin mentioned above, help is an important factor not only in auditing but also in life. Ron has given some really good lectures on the subject. c) Problems The last part is problems, or problem processes. This is about being able to resolve a problem and in a nutshell, you do it by looking closely at what the problem is. More importantly, you look at what is your force or your own energy against someone or something and take it out or direct it properly. So that you don't go against someone's force, but understand what the opposite force is and in which direction it points in order to deal with it accordingly. Everybody will have their own personal cognitions and learn how to deal with problems. Magically, when you take away your energy and force, the person often comes to you and offers cooperation. Even if you tend to see the problem on the other side, by taking responsibility for your own part in it, you can get the other person to cooperate. Above there is a help process in the bulletin. You can run this process with someone. Just make sure you run it flat and first get the agreement from your pc that you will indeed run this process flat and that it may take hours. A good working manual to understand how to audit is the book "Straightwire". Much love, Max Hauri
- Calling all Auditors about Help
Introduction: Calling all auditors about Help and how to apply the "Pre-Session Procedures" will help everyone to win. Have you ever had trouble auditing someone? Well, you will be happy to know that these problems have been vanquished thanks to a few materials that L. Ron Hubbard developed. He thought of all of us. Watch the film about the report on the Special Training Camp of the Auditors Class 8. Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below Calling All Auditors About Help Bulletin 26 May 1960 This week we can definitely say that the latest Rundown – Presessioning on the Deadly Quartet and running the first button Help until it is flat, is having spectacular results. From every Org come enthusiastic reports and the first actual pc results run entirely on Help came through from the HGC London this week. There, great gains were made without exception on eight preclears. Profile and IQ changes of real magnitude. There will be another HCO Bulletin from Ron on this soon, but I'll just run through the salient points. Two way comm easily with your pc. Discuss Help – Control – Comm and get his reality and understanding. Note needle reaction. If he has no reality on Help or firmly believes he can help no one nor be helped – run 'Concept Help': 'Get the idea of helping' 'Get the idea of not helping'. If the pc is out of control you should be running CCH, so don't run SCS or 8C at this stage. During discussion of Communication try to get the pc to spill his O/Ws, just to get them off his chest. This will be a big relief but do not run them. By now the Interest factor should be up and you are ready to go into Model Session. Use Help O/W on an Auditor ARC break, or if this is too tough for the pc undercut with 'Recall trying to help me' Do a Dynamic Assessment and pick a hot terminal very real to the pc and run Help O/W. If needle is very sticky begin with 2 way Help and Five Way Bracket to free it up. Exactly the same rules apply to running Help O/W as did for O/W and Responsibility. So if the pc runs out of answers on a specific terminal, change over to the general form of that terminal and continue. Keep havingness up to the ratio of at least half an hour to every one and a half hours of Help O/W. Run every terminal contacted to a null needle. You have the definition of a null needle. Make sure it is one. We look forward to hearing of your successes, please let us know. Anything you as an auditor or D of P have learned about Help would be appreciated and any problem you are having in handling it should be forwarded to Ron at once. Rosamond Harper HCO Technical Secretary WW for L. Ron Hubbard Presession Processes Bulletin 20 April 1960 Have you ever wondered how to persuade a stranger to get audited? Have you ever had to “sell” a hostile family member Scientology before you could audit someone? Have you ever had trouble auditing anyone? Well, you’ll be pleased to know that these problems have been vanquished by some material I’ve developed. You see – I do think of you! Pre-session processes are a new idea. They were hinted at in HCO Bulletin April 7, 1960. But there’s more to it. A pre-session process is a process that is used to get into session: (a) A stranger who isn’t receiving well; (b) A person antagonistic to Scientology; (c) A person who ARC breaks easily in session; (d) A person who makes few gains in session; (e) A person who relapses after being helped; (f) A person who makes no gains in auditing; (g) A person who, having been audited, refuses further auditing; (h) Any person being audited as a check-off before session, aloud to pc or silently by auditor. Pre-session processes parallel in importance the auditing of unconscious people. But I feel they have wider use and will assist dissemination enormously as well as improve graph gains. These processes are four in number. They are designed as classes of processes to handle these four points: 1. Help factor 2. Control factor 3. Pc Communication factor 4. Interest factor. Unless these four points are present in a session, it is improbable, in a great number of cases, that any real, lasting gain will be made. This is old data. It is new data to consider these as pre-session points. Before one has a pc in session he cannot really run a Model Session or any session at all. The usual struggle is to start a session and then try to start a session by having the pc go into session. This is a confusion of long standing and leads auditors to run processes like the CCHs when they could be running higher processes. The CCHs are often necessary, but not necessary on a pc who could be put into session easily and could then run higher level processes for faster gains. The only thing this changes about a Model Session (HCO Bulletin February 25, 1960) is the start. If a pc is in the auditing room and auditing is to be attempted, then one starts, not Tone 40, but formal. “We are going to begin auditing now.” The auditor then goes over his check list and ticks off the pre-session points 1, 2, 3, 4, and satisfied, goes into the rudiments and carries forward a Model Session. Naturally, if he wants to put the pc into session with pre-session processes, when the pc is finally in session we would startle him out with a Tone 40 “Start”. A pc who is running extraordinarily well and making fast gains should be checked over silently at beginning and then given “Start” Tone 40 as in the Model Session and the auditor proceeds at once to rudiments. But this would be used only after the pc was really getting along. A new pc or new to the auditor should be pre-sessioned as above for many sessions. A pre-session type of session might find the auditor not satisfied with more than the first two of the four points by session end. If so, end the session easily with a location of pc’s attention on the room and simply end it by saying so. While many processes may be developed out of the four classes of help, control, communication and interest, it is certain that these classes will remain stable, since these four are vital to auditing itself and imply no wrongness in the pc. All other known factors of life and the mind can be handled by a session and improved. But these four – help, control, communication and interest – are vital to auditing itself and without them auditing doesn’t happen. One or more of these four items was awry in every pc who, one, did not take auditing, two, on whom gains were poor or slow, and three, who failed to complete auditing. So you see that is a number of pcs and the pre-session processes are the important remedy. Why make the same error again. One of my jobs is to improve auditing results. This may be, as you may find, the biggest single step in that direction since Book One, since it includes them all. The auditor can cause help, control, communication and interest rather than hope they will come to pass. As such these four factors are practically clubs. I would almost rather not give you some processes to fit these four conditions. I certainly desire you to be free in inspecting, understanding and employing them. What great art could arise from this innocent scientific quartet. I would rather you used them as a maestro rather than play sheet music. How adroit, how clever, how subtle we could become with them! Example of what I mean: Grouchy car salesman. Knows that anything Scientologist friend Bill takes up is “rot”. Hates people. Scientologist approaches. Gets a scoff at Bill’s enthusiasms. Scientologist handles help. “Don’t you think people can be helped?” Lazy argument, all very casual. Car salesman finally wins by losing utterly. He concedes something or someone could help him. Another day. Scientologist approaches. Asks car salesman to move here and there, do this and that, all by pretending interest in cars. Really it’s 8-C. All casual. Salesman wins again by losing. Another day. Scientologist gets on subject of communication with car salesman. Finally salesman concedes he doesn’t mind telling Scientologist about his shady deals. Does. Salesman wins and so does Scientologist. Another day. Scientologist gets car salesman to see pictures or blackness by any smooth conversation. Salesman becomes interested in getting his flat feet fixed up. Negative result: One scoffer less Positive result: One new pc. Any way you handle them the Deadly Quartet must be present before auditing, or even interest in Scientology, can exist. Talk about John Wellington Wells. The Scientologist can weave even greater magical spells with help, control, communication and interest. Talk to a new club. What about? Help, of course. Get them to agree they could be helped or could help. And when they ask you to come back talk about good and bad control. And when they want you again, it’s communication you stress. And interest of course, when you give that talk, will find you ready people. In Scientology everybody wins. It’s the only game in which everyone does. With these four factors you can’t lose and neither can they. As a Scientologist you know several processes under each heading. It’s establishing each point in turn that’s important. Ah, what a shock you’ll get on some pc when you find he wasn’t ever interested in his own case. He was getting audited for his wife! You’ll only find that out if you get the three forerunners flat first. Processes On processes, under help you have two-way comm about help, two-way help, help in brackets, dichotomies of can-help can’t-help, rising scale on help; lots of forms. On control you have two-way comm, TR 5 (You make that body sit in that chair), CCH 2, old-time 8-C, object S-C-S, S-C-S, etc, etc. On communication you have two-way comm, “Recall a time you communicated,” etc, but much more basically, two-way comm to get off overts, O/W on the auditor, “Think of something you have done to somebody” “Think of something you have withheld from somebody” with occasional, “Anything you would like to tell me?” when meter acts up. Nothing helps communication like getting off fundamental overts that would keep pc out of session or ARC with auditor. That’s the point of this step, whether done casually in a drawing room or in an auditing room. “Surely, Mrs. Screamstack, you can’t sit there and tell me that, unlike the rest of the human race, you have never done a single wrong thing in your whole life!” Well, that’s one way to knock apart a case at a formal dinner party. Interest is the place where your knowledge of the mind comes into heavy play. But note that this is Number Four. How often have we used it for Number One and flopped! That was because the correct One was missing, to say nothing of Two and Three! I can see you now trying to interest a family member with Four without teaching on the first three. Why, I’ve done it myself! Just like you. I audited an official of a government after a dinner party for two hopeless hours one night. He knew he’d been run over. But he surely was no sparkling result. I shamefully and vividly recall now that, not touched by me, his idea of help was to kill off the whole human race! The first steps of OT-3A will gain interest from almost anyone. Even the Black Fives will get confounded when they find what state their recalls are in. And then? And then follow a gradient scale of gain. Find something the pc can do and improve it. When the four points, the Deadly Quartet, are covered, we have the rudiments and they must cover facts, not glibitity. After the four points you improve the case by gradient scales. And you keep the four points established. Summary If it takes you a hundred hours to establish the four points of sessioning, you’ll still win faster because you will win. If it takes only two hours the first time you do them on a pc, feel lucky. Be thorough. Establish the four points. Use a Model Session. Follow a course in processing of finding something the pc knows he can do and improve that ability. And you’ll have Clears. And if your use of the Deadly Quartet becomes as adroit and smooth as I think it will, we will have this planet licked and be scouting the stars before we’re too much older. At last, we’ve created the basic weapon in Scientology dissemination and processing that makes us a lot more effective on Earth than a lot of drooling politicians scrubbing their hands around an atomic warhead. By golly, they better watch out now. But don’t tell them. Just run (1) Help, (2) Control, (3) Communication and (4) Interest. Now go tackle somebody who wouldn’t buy Scientology – use the Deadly Quartet. And win! L. Ron Hubbard Dear Friends, "Have you ever wondered how to persuade a stranger to get audited? Have you ever had to “sell” a hostile family member Scientology before you could audit someone? "Have you ever had trouble auditing anyone?Well, you’ll be pleased to know that these problems have been vanquished by some material I’ve developed. You see – I do think of you!..." Now the above are Ron's words from the HCOB April 21, 1960 "Pre-Session Processes" and form the basis on which the "Call to All Auditors" bulletins were written. Below you will find this very HCOB and also the HCOB from May 26, 1960 "Calling all Auditors about Help". By the way, the HCOB of April 21, 1960 "The Pre-Session Processes" can be found in the "Basics of Life Course" also known as HQS.

- Calling all Auditors - 2
Introduction: Calling all auditors: Help is an important thing. Ron has talked and written a lot about it. Is a person willing and able to help? And is she willing to receive help? Find out how loaded this subject can be. Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below as well as a success story about the Class VIII Course (in green) Calling all Auditors (2) Bulletin 10 May 1960 This is the second week of our worldwide survey of Auditing results and it becomes immediately apparent that our idea of presessioning is not Ron's. So lets take a look at what we should do. Ask the preclear what he understands by 'Help'. Usually he says 'to aid or assist to – well help someone to do something he wants to do, to assist something or someone towards survival'. That sounds all right – after all survival is the basic goal of all living things. So we two-way comm and get the pc's ideas and understanding of help, and then bridge into the process of two-way help. It will be an unusual pc whose needle isn't sticky, but after a time it frees up a bit and the flow has started. Bridge out into the 5 way bracket and watch your pc get really into it. Run this for as long as you think necessary and then go on to "What problem could help be to you" or "What problem has help been to you?" The pc may cease being factual in the first and start inventing. Many things will happen. The pc cognites on help as an interference; on help used as a control mechanism by parents, teachers and grown-ups in general; or as a stopping of his efforts to learn by himself. He knows 'help' is something to be avoided at all costs – he doesn't trust help. In short "help" is betrayal. All right – all right you've started, get him through this, don't leave him at the make-break point. Go on with 'help', run it until the needle doesn't flicker, no matter who the terminal the pc mentions: Auntie Josephine, his hated headmaster, little Ollie or the man next door, and then and only then is it safe to leave 'help' and go on to the next button. The world is in need of help – people just don't do it much any more. They are not only often afraid of asking for help – they are afraid of receiving it. Yesterday I missed my bus by two minutes. The alternative to being late for work was to get a lift. Car after car completely ignored me, as I trudged along. So I stopped and asked for a ride, the same result. Ten cars sailed past – empty. The eleventh stopped. 'I'm glad you asked' he said 'People are too inhibited these days' – 'Do you think we have forgotten how to help?' 'When I see people standing waiting at bus stops I often want to stop, but I know they'd probably refuse, so I don't.' What is the stoppage in the flow of life? We are not millions of completely separate beings airily independent of each other, far from it. Our very thought and action affects somebody, we all live together on this planet mutually interdependent right through the dynamics, and only by helping people to realize this for themselves can we walk the road to 'clear'. So let's have no more reports saying 'Ran presession for 1-½ hours, all buttons flat'. 'Pre-session fulfilled in 15 minutes'. 'Two-way commed all buttons in ½ an hour'. No, do what Ron says – Run Help flat. Rosamond Harper – Technical Secretary WW for L. Ron Hubbard Oleg's success story on the Class VIII Course It is very hard to find words to describe the course itself. There was a lot of information before about why it is and what benefits it provides! This course is unlike any course I have taken before. Yes, there is a checksheet, a course pack, additional materials, everything we are used to before. But the structure, the connectedness of the material and the way it was organized each day into a coherent system - surprised and pleased at the same time. The first thing that struck us were the lectures that we studied before the actual course pack! The meaning of the word "standard" gradually began to take deeper root among the many data we studied. Later, the documents themselves became fertile ground, forming a coherent picture logic of the approach to solving cases. Then everything was built around the main important things, the main core of the technology! The information simply complemented each other, rooting the logic and foundation of all the previously studied theory. Literally in a few days the thoughts about "special cases and approaches" and "exceptions to the rules" disappeared completely! Everything came really to one standard, to one common approach without speculations and variations. The course pack and materials look like a pyramid, on which different sized rings are put on every day. At the top of which the axioms are placed! And you can look at the cases from different positions and levels, but it will always have a connection to the center of the pyramid. Already on the course itself, I was changing work in case supervision, taking notes and forwarding them to the auditors. There were whole areas that needed to be retrained or refreshed. Which led me to planning the classes in our Qualification Division for this year. The shift in case supervision was immediately noticeable, right from the learning phase of the course. We made revisions in such areas as case preparation, life repairs, repairs, rehabilitations, confessions, straight wire and all styles of auditing, and much, much more. It's kind of a small revolution, but I'm trying to do it gradually. The morale of the staff has gone way up! The overall tone of the group is up! And most importantly, in a very strange way, new people started coming to us, as if another door to the organization had opened to us. It's hard to tell you how much data I've reviewed! Throughout the duration of the course, I diligently documented my notes, filling three pages with meticulously written small characters. Many thanks to the translators who managed to translate the huge amount of material from the 60s and the corrections made to the already translated material. Priceless work! The admin and ethics of the group have changed. It's like the staff have been given extra confidence, motivation and meaning to what we've been doing for decades. The approach to many organizational issues has changed, and most importantly, a calmness in handling many situations has come. I once had a dream that I would someday attend the Class VIII. Well, it has come true! I still hardly believe it! Huge thanks to Max Hauri for making it happen! More than a miracle, you can't call it a miracle it is above. To collect all the materials is a great job of many years!!! I also wanted to thank Vadim Zudeev and all the admin staff who helped to gather the C/es and auditors from many organizations and organize our training in a great place! Also, to all the participants, my colleagues, thank you so much! You are great people! This training was and should have been in this environment! We came together and became bigger! Unforgettable, friendly, fun, energetic, helping each other in everything as a team! Erica and Max's supervision was top notch! This camp, all the students – endless gratitude and honor!!! And a big bow to L. Ron Hubbard for the diamond that is the Class VIII Course that he standardized everything previously created with! Much love Oleg Eremenko – Ron's Org "Ability" – Rostow – Russia – 2024 Dear Friends, Help is an important thing. Ron has talked and written a lot about it. Is a person willing and able to help? Not wanting to is one thing, but helping can also have the opposite effect, which is then detrimental. All these implications – and there are many – can make the subject very loaded, and need to be audited in any case. For the most important aspect of all, is the following: does the person, as a preclear, allow you to help her? An important criterion that often goes overlooked.

- Calling all Auditors
Introduction: Calling all Auditors! We have the tools – Ron has seen to that. We have the Auditors – We have the preclears. So what is preventing us from producing Clears faster than we are doing? Hark ye well – Nothing can stand up to present day procedure. It's simple. Just read – discuss – understand and use the tools he has given you. Use them. Read Max Hauri's introduction letter to this article below Calling all Auditors Bulletin 3. May 1960 A worldwide survey of Auditing Results is now in progress to enable us to isolate the factors which are preventing optimum gains. We have the tools – Ron has seen to that. We have the Auditors – We have the preclears. So what is preventing us from producing Clears faster than we are doing? Presession procedure – OT 3a – Model Sessioning, it's all there. We know what makes homo sapiens tick – we know how and why he slows himself up and reduces his abilities, and we know what to do and how to do it. So what is it? Two points stand out already. - a. Auditors are not getting their pc's into session. b. And once in – auditors are not flattening processes. A great many pcs "know" there is no such thing as help. So run help, Two way comm, Two-way help, five-way bracket, until the stuck needle loosens up and then and only then carry on with control. Once again run this to a loose needle – put your pc on the meter before running "You make that body" etc., and test him for a loose needle when the process ends – Stuck needle? Off you go again on "You make that body sit in that chair". Now is he in communication with you or does he say he is? Run "Think of something you have done to somebody" "Think of something you have withheld from somebody" O/W on the Auditor. Two way comm – anything to get off the overts which are preventing him from free communication with you. Again a loose needle and a willing tongue go together. Have that Affinity high – he'll trust you. If these points are seen to, there remains just one more essential. Now is he interested in his own case? Talk to him, get him to tell you of his puzzlements, his hopes – his wins and his losses – he'll be interested. Right, he is in session, and once that is achieved he's on his way to clear. At this point pay attention to (b) above. Flatten these processes, and the gradient scale of wins he will get – the growing confidence he'll find in managing his bank, why the mere straightening of his life time track will work a miracle. Hark ye well – Nothing can stand up to present day procedure. Look at the results some auditors get. They put down their successes to following Ron's directions exactly. Why aren't we all doing that? It's simple. Just read – discuss – understand and use the tools he has given you. Use them. Two days ago we had a case report of a man who for ten years had not been over one mile from his home – as such panic overtook him that he was reduced to near insanity. £ 200 spent on Electric Shock "treatment", a spell in a Mental Home, $500 spent on indifferent auditing, and still he shook with fear at the thought of the outside world. He tried everything, alcohol to numb his terror, drugs to "stabilize" him, will power to make him face it. No good. His wife was desperate, his family gave up. An Auditor with the latest data happened along and after approximately four hours of pre-session procedure – three hours of OT 3A Steps 1 and two – four hours O/W on his wife flattened with Responsibility and five hours spent running and flattening his past immediate death as a soldier in World War 1, and he had tea, spruced himself up and went for a twenty five mile drive with a wife whose eyes opened wider with astonishment as every mile came and went. Afraid of death? "It's just like buying a new motor car" he remarked "this getting a new body". But would it have been possible without pre-sessioning? Never. So get that preclear into session, straighten out his time track. Reduce those overts and flatten but flatten with Responsibility one hot present life terminal and you'll alter his whole pattern of behaviour. Nothing is stopping you. At the risk of repetition there is nothing absolutely nothing which can stop any pc making phenomenal gains, once he is in session except your auditing. Flatten his PTP, don't audit over an ARC break and continue to flatten every process you run and you must win. From Rosamond Harper, Technical Secretary WW for L. Ron Hubbard Dear friends, I found a series of old HCOBs, not from Ron, but from Rosamond Harper, Technical Secretary WW. It is actually a success story from back then and shows what can be achieved with auditing, and what you can achieve with it too. Any of us can do it.We train auditors! In this crazy world, it's the best thing you can do! The "Straightwire – A working manual" is a great basis for this. You can get this book as PDF on our website. (Ability Major 4, July 1955.)

- Morale
Introduction: Morale is defined as "a sense of common purpose or a degree of dedication to a common task regarded as characteristic of or dominant in a particular group or organization". Morale – Policy Letter 16 April 1970 from L. Ron Hubbard Morale is defined as "a sense of common purpose or a degree of dedication to a common task regarded as characteristic of or dominant in a particular group or organization". Also defined as "A confident, resolute, willing, often self-sacrificing and courageous attitude of an individual to the function or tasks demanded or expected of him by a group of which he is a part that is based upon such factors as pride in achievement and aims of the group, faith in its leadership and ultimate success, a sense of fruitful personal participation in its work and a devotion and loyalty to other members of the group". Also "a state of well-being and buoyancy based upon such factors as physical or mental well-being, a sense of purpose and usefulness and confidence in the future." Morale in a military sense applies to the whole group as in "Esprit de Corps" (spirit of the group). However, a group's morale is after all the additive result of the morale of each individual member. When one speaks of "bad morale" one can mean an individual's bad morale or that of a whole group. By caring for the morale of each individual one can raise the morale of the whole group. By working on group morale one can also change the morale of the individuals in the group. Successes tend to increase morale. Failures tend to decrease morale. Morale is subject to propaganda attacks entering false data into a group. Sound morale is best built by Reality. The restricting of unsavory news can injure morale by throwing out the Reality factor. Similarly false validation can injure group morale as the Reality factor is corrupted. The "expertise" of military groups in "handling morale" is to a marked degree worthless wherever it violates Reality factors. A severe or savage experience does not necessarily destroy group morale. I have observed that there was no group at all much less morale in combat units before they had a harsh experience in common. The highest morale groups in the world have been those whose common lot was harsh mutual experience. (US Marines, the Foreign Legion, etc.) Morale is not a sweetness and light proposition. Hand holding and sympathy can destroy morale if it also lessens group solidarity or injures the belief in the group's leadership. Reality is the vital factor in all morale problems. Six months or even a year before an operational or functional catastrophe one could have detected out-morale in certain areas. Such out-morale areas, continuing, have preceded a general upset or severe loss for the whole group. If small zones of out-morale are noticed and repaired when they occur, the group can be saved future upsets of magnitude. The repair of individual morale is accomplishable in the field of Scientology tech and Ethics. The handling of group morale is done in the area of accomplishing objectives along the agreed upon group purpose line and in the sphere of group social relations. If any organization has a chaplain with a full grasp of the subject of morale, its definitions and technology and if he works factually and successfully, group catastrophes would be averted. Lack of this function can be very destructive to a group. Successful accomplishment of it can be the source of group success. Skill in Scientology Tech, group organizational functions and Public Relations are the requisites of a good chaplain. L. Ron Hubbard
