CHAPTER FIVE: The Practices of Scientology

Part II

===========================================================================

(b) Contract

135. If the sale of a training course is concluded, the pre-clear is
required to sign a standard form of contract. This contains, amongst
others, the following clauses:-

"(1) Whereas the applicant is desirous of obtaining the services
of the organization the applicant hereby declares and makes known
that it is understood and agreed that any help given by L. Ron
Hubbard, the organization, the executives, auditors, supervisors
and other personnel of the organization is given entirely at
their discretion individually and severally and out of the

spiritual and religious guide intended to make persons
more aware of themselves as spiritual beings and not
treating or diagnosing human ailments of body or mind
and not engaged in the teaching or practising of the
medical arts or sciences and not granting scholastic
degrees or fumishing accreditation towards the
requirements of college, university, or scholastic
degrees

(h) that he has fully read and understood this document
and has signed it of his own free will and without
coercion.

----------

I, . . . do agree that I shall not divulge the contents of the .
. . Course materials or any future . . . Materials issued to me,
to anyone, nor shall I copy it, allow it to be copied, or
re-issue it in any way. I agree to the condition that should I
default on this contract, I shall be immediately suspended and
the matter turned over to Ethics. who shall treat such as a
Suppressive Act and deal with it accordingly. I agree not to
discuss the Materials or my case in relation to it with anyone
other than a . . . Course Supervisor or a properly assigned
Review Auditor.

----------

UNDERTAKING TO L. RON HUBBARD

In consideration of L. Ron Hubbard researching into and
developing Scientology and maintaining high technical standards
of Scientology now and in the future and making such available to
me through training and/or processing, I hereby agree to waive
any and all claims howsoever arising that I may have against him
now and in the future.

----------

UNDERTAKINGS OF THE ORGANIZATION

We, the Operation and Transport Services, Ltd., do hereby
undertake, that in consideration of the agreements entered into
heretofore by . . . (the applicant), to ensure personal case
supervision for the duration of such period as he is under our
charge and to make every effort to ensure that the applicant
progresses and attains the end result of the training or
processing contracted for m the shortest possible time and to
give to the applicant such certificates of attainment."

It will be seen that this document does contain a passing mention of
Scientology as a "religious guide".

136. With the contract go the arrangements for payment. On these, Mr.
Hubbard has this to say:-

"Scientology organizations are service organizations. Now, it
goes without saying, that service costs money. So please don't
equate service with the idea that it is all give away. People
expect to pay

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

for good service, and they do pay for good service, unless you
barrier the line, or by some foolish handling, convince them
otherwise.

----------

"Well, how about money, then? How does this get handled?

"Simple. MONEY IS AN ACCOUNTING FUNCTION. It IS the proper concem
of Accounts. (Div 3 - Dept. of Income).

"With Accounts, money is simply collected. Accounts collects from
the person the amount of the price of the service desired. That
is all there is to it. It collects the amount, invoices it and
routes a copy of the invoice through the org lines to the
Division that the service is to be delivered in, so that they may
know it is all right to go ahead and deliver the service.

"The Invoicing-Cashier in Department 7, Division 3 is at post
preferably in a wicket. This is exactly like a theatre ticket
front, complete with the glass window with the hole (small and
awkward) in it to talk through and the hole at the bottom to
slide money through. Any amounts office door, if up front in the
org, can be fixed with a half door to look like this. It would
not at all be out of place for the cashier to wear a green
eyshade [sicl, and have a very detached attitude about anything
except money or money matters. Very businesslike. Posted on the
outside of the wicket or immediately in the area on display signs
is the prices for books, materials and services offered by the
org. If the cashier is asked for data, he points to the proper
sign.

"A person coming into the org first comes into Reception. If the
person wants a service he or she is routed to the Body Registrar.
The Body Reg talks about and signs the person up for service. If
the person has a question about the cost, the Body Reg says "You
will need to talk to Accounts about that" and routes them to the
Invoicing Cashier, who shows them the prices on the display
signs. When the Body Reg has signed the person up for the service
on proper contract and release forms, the person is routed to the
Invoicing Cashier for paying.

"The Invoicing Cashier (Dept 7) always expects for the service to
be paid for, i.e. expects cash, not credit. The subject of credit
must not be brought up by the Invoicing Cashier. For example, the
question would be "Are you going to pay this by cash or cheque" .
. . NEVER "IS this going to be cash or credit?". If the person is
going to ask for credit, then it must be his origination. In the
event it is asked for, then it must have the Org Sec.'s OK, who
before giving it, must check the person's past credit record with
the org. People who have a bad payment record on their org bills
must not be extended further credit. When credit is extended, a
proper note must be signed at 12 per cent interest if not paid in
90 days and they must sign the debiting invoice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"When the service is completed with the person, the last person
he sees on the org lines is the Body Registrar, who channels the
person to further service.

"The Reception area, Invoicing Cashier, and Book Store should be
located close to one another. If someone comes in wanting a book,
he or she is routed to the book store in which books are on
display, but separated as to if they are for Beginners or
Advanced Scientologists. The books for Beginners and to the
public books should be prominently marked by display signs.

-----------

"The Book Store should be close to the Reception area but
remember that to have Reception selling books is creating
Divisions. Reception only routes. However, in the immediate
Reception area should be display posters on books, Free
Introductory Lecture, AS Course, graphs, and other promotional
material - all prominently displayed. If someone comes in asking
"What is Scientology?", the Receptionist routes him to the Free
Introductory Lecture by giving him an Invitation, and routes him
to the Book Store for a book that covers Beginning Scientology.
The Receptionist is forbidden to try to explain Scientology or
processing. If someone comes in not knowing what they want, but
that they want to talk to someone about Scientology, the
Receptionist routes them to the Body Reg to channel them into a
Service.

"The Letter Registrar may not talk money. However, he or she may
enclose rate cards for Org services and book price lists.

"So please each Division do its own work. Registrars -
channelling to service, Reception - routes; and only Accounts
talks money". (118)

137. The central practice of Scientology is what is called "processing". In
essence. this is a procedure carried on by an "auditor" on a pre-clear, who
stand in a relationship to each other closely analogous to that of
therapist and patient, in that the aim of the pre-clear is to improve
himself, and that of the auditor is expressed to be to help him in
achieving this aim.

138. Processing takes place in formal sessions, whose beginning and end are
explicitly announced by the auditor. In most of these sessions. no other
persons are present. An important adjunct, however, in which Scientology
reposes much faith, is an instrument called an "E-Meter", which is an
abbreviation for "electro-psychometer". (119)

Viewed from the point of view of conventional physics, this instrument is a
sensitive device for measuring the resistance (normally quantified in units
called "ohms") of an electrical conductor to the current being passed
through it. Working on the principle of the well-known Wheatstone Bridge,
it contains some batteries and a transistorised circuit, together with a
galvanometer whose reading furnishes an indication of the resistance of any
conductor

----------
(118) HCO P/L of 15th September 1965.
(119) The original inventor of this instrument - or, rather, of
"electro-psychometry" - seems to have been a Mr Volney G. Mathison of
California, a renowned hypnotist and student of the occult. See Lee, p. 89.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

connected between two external electrodes which are attached to the
instrument. Certain knobs on the instrument may be adjusted so as to vary
its calibration, range and sensitivity.

139. During an auditing session, the pre-clear holds the two electrodes,
one in each hand, and the auditor observes and records the movements of the
meter needle. As a matter of physics, what is being observed is the
electrical resistance, and any changes in that resistance, interposed
between the two electrodes, and this will depend on a variety of factors
such as the area of contact, the quantity and salinity of any sweat exuded
by the preclear's palms, tile force of his grip, and any variations in the
electrical resistance of his skin or the rest of his body. Such instruments
and their limitations are well-known in conventional psychology: they are
closely related to the so-called "lie-detector" or "polygraph" which had a
certain vogue in the United States of America at one time, but is going out
of fashion there as its limitations are becoming better known and the early
claims made for its efficiency are being refuted. (120)

140. In Scientology, however, what is claimed to be registered by the
E-meter is not mere electrical resistance but "the amount of charge
represented by a mental image picture" (121)

"The meter tel1s you what the preclear's mind is doing when the
pre-clear is made to think of something ... This current is
influenced by the mental masses, pictures, circuits and
machinery. When the unclear pc thinks of something these mental
items shift and this registers on the meter" (122)

"The E-meter is never wrong. It sees all; it knows all. It tells
everything". (123)

141. Thus installed in a processing session, the auditor either asks the
pre-clear questions or issues commands to him. Taken at one level, that is
all there is to it. The complications and problems only arise when one
examines the nature of the questions and commands. Since there is a large
variety of auditing routines and since these change constantly as Mr.
Hubbard makes new discoveries (or, in his terminology, "final
break-throughs") in his field, it would be impossible to specify precisely
which routines are in vogue at any given moment. Indeed, it seems to be a
matter of policy not to publish current routines to the world at large, for
every description of auditing routines which I have found in published
Scientology literature bears a disclaimer in terms such as these -

"The processes described in this chapter were the forerunners of
modem Scientology processes and Clearing techniques" (124)

"These processes are the forerunners of today's processes and are
no longer taught in Scientology Academies as part of modem
standard technology" (125)

(125) Scientology 8-8008, p. 115.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

142. But the books in which these routines are described continue to be on
open sale, and budding Scientologists are strongly advised to buy and read
them, since they are said to be "important for the students' grasp of
earlier breakthroughs in the opening of the route to Clear" and "well worth
knowing" (126), Besides, "There are no texts or books banned by Standard
Tech. It outlawed no processes. Any process ever published is valid if (a)
It reads on asking its question and (b) Is run to F/N and end phenomena".
(127)

143. Accordingly, and with that qualification, I reproduce here a few
selection from this published material, so as to give the reader at least
some idea of how processing is conducted.

"The techniques involved herein were developed by L. Ron Hubbard
and after testing by him, were tested by other auditors on a wide
variety of cases. It is doubtful if any earlier process of any
kind in any age has been as thoroughly validated as this
operating procedure. However, it works only when used as stated.
Disorganized fragments of this material, given other names and
emphasis, may be found to be harmful. Irresponsible and untrained
use of this procedure is not authorised. Capricious or
quasi-religious exteriorization of the thetan for other purposes
than the restoration of his ability and self-determinism should
be resisted by any being. The goal for this process is freedom
for the individual to the betterment of the many.

STEP I - Ask preclear to be three feet behind his head. If stable
there have him be in various pleasant places until any feeling of
scarcity of viewpoints is resolved; then have him be in several
undesirable places, then several pleasant places, then have him
be in a slightly dangerous place, then in more and more dangerous
places until he can sit in the centre of the Sun. Be sure to
observe gradient scale of ugliness and dangerousness of places.
Do not let preclear fail. Then do remaining steps with preclear
exteriorized.

STEP II - Have preclear mock-up own body. If he does this easily
and clearly, have him mock-up own body until he slips out of it.
When he is exteriorized and knows it thoroughly (the conditions
of all exteriorization) do STEP I. If his mock-up was not clear,
go to STEP III immediately.

STEP III - SPACATION: Have preclear close his eyes and find upper
comers of the room Have him sit there, not thinking, refusing to
think of anything, interested only in the comers until he is
completely exteriorized without strain. Then do a spacation
(constructing own space with eight anchor points and holding it
stable without effort) and go to STEP I. If preclear was unable
to locate comers of the room easily with his eyes closed, go to
STEP IV.

STEP IV - EXPANDED GITA: (This is an extension of give and take
processing.) Test preclear to see if he can get a mock-up he can
see, no matter how vague. Then have him WASTE, ACCEPT UNDER
DURESS, DESIRE and finally be able to TAKE OR LEAVE ALONE each of
the items listed below. He does this with mock-ups or ideas. He
must do the sequence of WASTE, etc., in the order given here for
each item. He wastes

----------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

it by having it at remote distances in places where it will do no
good, being used or done or observed by something which cannot
appreciate it; when he is able to waste it in vast quantities the
auditor then has him accept it in mock-up form until he no longer
is antagonistic to him to accept it even when it is unpleasant
and great force is applied to make him take it; then, again with
mock-ups, he must be able to bring himself to desire it even in
its worst form; then, by mock-ups of it in its most desirable
form he must come to be able to leave it entirely alone or take
it in its worst form without caring. EXPANDED GITA remedies
contra-survival abundance and scarcity. It will be found that
before one can accept a very scarce to him thing, he has to give
it away. A person with a milk allergy must be able to give away,
in mock-up, enormous quantities of milk, wasting it, before he
can accept any himself. The items in this list are compounded of
several years of isolating what factors were more important to
minds than others; the list lacks very few of the very important
items if any; additions to or subtractions from this list should
not be attempted. Viewpoint, work and pain should be heavily and
often stressed and given priority.

WARNING: SHOULD YOUR PRECLEAR BECOME UNSTABLE OR UPSET DOING THIS
PROCESS TAKE HIM TO STEP VI, THEN RETURN TO THIS LIST.

COMMENT: The mind is sufficiently complicated that it can be
expected to have computations on almost all the above. Thus there
is no single clearing button and search for it is at the dictate
of a circuit, the mechanism of circuits being to search for
something hidden. Thus your preclear may begin to compute and
philosophize and seek to find the "button" that will release all
this. All this releases all the buttons so tell him to relax and
go on with the process every time he starts to compute.

NOTE: Running the above will bring to the surface without further
attention the "computation on the case" and the service
facsimile. Do not audit these. Run Expanded Gita.

STEP V - PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION. EXTERIORIZATION BY
SCENERY. Have preclear, with his body's eyes, study and see the
difference between similar real objects such as the two legs of a
chair, the spaces between the back two cigarettes, two trees, two
girls. He must see

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

and study the objects, it is not enough to remember objects. The
definition of a CASE V is "no mock-ups, only blackness". Have him
continue this process until he is alert. Use liberally and often.

Then exteriorize by having the preclear close his eyes and move
actual places on Earth under him, preferably places he has not
been. Have him bring these up to him, find two similar things in
the scene and observe the difference between them. Move him over
oceans and cities until he is certain that he is exteriorized.

Then, preferably while exteriorized, have him do STEP I.

This case has to know before he can be. His viewpoint is in the
past. Give him present time viewpoints until he is a STEP I by
the methods given for STEP V.

(COMMENT: PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION is a very good general
technique and resolves chronic somatics and improves tone.)

STEP VI - A-R-C STRAIGHT WIRE using next to last list of SELF
ANALYSIS IN SCIENTOLOGY which asks preclear to recall something
really to him, etc. Then use the lists in SELF ANALYSIS. This
level is the neurotic level. It is identified by the preclear
having mock-ups which will not persist or which won't go away.
Use also PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION. Then go to STEP IV. At any
drop in tone, return case to STEP VI.

STEP VII - PSYCHOTIC CASES* Whether in or out of body, the
psychotic looks to be in such desperate straits that people often
err in thinking desperate measures are necessary. Use the
lightest possible methods. Give case space and freedom where
possib1e. Have psychotic IMITATE (not mock-up) various things.
Have him do PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION. Get him to tell the
difference between things by actual touch. Have him locate,
differentiate and touch things that are really real to him (real
objects or items). If inaccessible mimic him with own body
whatever he does until he comes into communication. Have him
locate comers of the room and hold them without thinking. As soon
as his communication is up, go to STEP VI but be very sure he
changes any mock-up around until he knows it is a mock-up, that
it exists and that he himself made it. Do not run engrams. He is
psychotic because viewpoints in present time are so scarce that
he has gone into the past for viewpoints which at least he knew
existed. By PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION, by tactile on objects,
return his idea of an abundance of viewpoint in present time. If
he has been given electric shock, do not process it or any other
brutality. Work him for very brief periods for his attention span
is short. Always work psychotics with another person or a
companion present."

* It is not the purpose of Scientology to handle psychotics, but
rather to "make the able more able". The above is included,
however, as valuable data for the handling of psychotics by those
in fields other than Scientology. (128)

Level Four

OPENING PROCEDURE BY DUPLICATION

Done in an auditing room with a book and a bottle.

Commands:

"Do you see that book?"

"Walk over to it".

"Pick it up".

"Not know something about its colour".

"Not know something about its temperature".

"Not know something about its weight".

"Put it in exactly the same place".

"Do you see that bottle?"

"Walk over to it".

"Pick it up".

"Not know something about its colour".

"Not know something about its temperature".

"Not know something about its weight".

"Put it in exactly the same place".

"Do you see that book?" (129)

----------

"There is a very fine set of processes which have been used for
more than a year at this writing and which produced excellent
results. These we called the S-C-S processes.

After running 8-C (and if it turned on somatics remember to
flatten the process entirely, even though it takes 50 hours,
before going on to another process), we go into these control
processes grouped under S-C-S. There have been several varieties
of process, all entirely in the control bracket but with
different severities of control. The commands of S-C-S processes
are almost all the same except that some are made more severe
than others.

The first of these processes is the Start process. This is very
simple. We have a preclear out in the middle of the room standing
up while we stand up along side of him touching him, and we
explain to him (and we explain this every command) that when we
say "Start" we want him to start his body in that direction, and
we point out some direction.

Then we take our hands off of him and we say "Start". We do not
say Stop, Halt, or anything else, but after he has moved forward
we then say "Did you start your body?" And he says he guesses he
did or he did, and we then - and only then - acknowledge. We do
this many times until the process apparently has no charge on it
or is flat. We then go into the next of this series, which is
Change.

----------
(129) ibid, p. 140.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To run Change the auditor marks four points out on the floor.
These points can be imaginary or they can be actually
chalk-marked on the floor One of these points we label "A", one
"B", one "C" and one "D". We explain the meanings of these
symbols to the preclear and we give him this auditing command:
"Now when I ask you to change the body, I want you to change the
body's position from A to B. Do you understand that?" The
preclear says he does, and the auditor, stepping back from the
preclear, says "Change". The preclear then changes the body's
position. Similarly in using the various points and combinations
of the points A, B, C and D, the auditor drills the preclear on
Change until that particular process seems to be flat.

The auditor then goes to Stop. The auditor takes the preclear by
the arm and explains (explains every time) that when he says
"Stop", he wants the preclear to stop the body. The actual
wording of the auditor is "Now I want you to get the body moving
in that direction and when I say Stop, I want you to stop the
body. Do you understand?" When the preclear says that he does,
the auditor lets go of him, lets him move down the room a
distance (never the same distance twice) and says "Stop". When
the preclear has stopped the auditor says "Did you stop the
body?". And the preclear says "yes", or "maybe" and the auditor
then acknowledges. The auditor does this many times until the
pre-clear understands that he himself can stop the body or he has
regained an ability, or the process appears to be flat and has no
charge on it.

These three steps done in that order are then repeated. And it
will be discovered that once Stop has been flattened, Start is
now unflattened and can be flattened all over again by running it
anew. Similarly, Change will be found to be unflat and again Stop
will be found to be unflat. Thus, one runs Start and one runs
Change and then one runs Stop, in that order, over and over and
over again until all three appear to be flat.

A variation of this particular process has been called Stop
Supreme. Stop Supreme is a heavy emphasis on Stop and it will be
found that after the three processes of Start, Change and Stop
are flat, one can move rather easily into Stop Supreme and
concentrate heavily upon it. In other words, one runs Start,
Change and Stop, Start, Change and Stop, Start. Change and Stop
until they are relatively flat. He should not then suppose that
the whole of S-C-S is flat since he still has Stop Supreme in all
of its variations.

The idea behind Stop Supreme is that Stop, or motionlessness, is
probably the most thetan ability a thetan has. Thus the
rehabilitation of this particular ability is worthwhile and does
produce considerable results. but don't be surprised if the
preclear falls apart in the process of doing it.

The commands of Stop Supreme are roughly these. Every time one
runs one of these S-C-S processes he, of course, explains the
thing in full at the beginning of every command. He does not let
any explanation hang over from the last time the command was

executed. It will be found that the preclear cannot hold in his
mind these explanations. Therefore, it has to be all explained
anew every time. Thus we say to the preclear in Stop Supreme,
"Now I want you to get your body moving down the room when I so
indicate and when I say Stop, I want you to stop your body
absolutely still". Then the auditor gives the preclear a slight
shove and the preclear moves the body down the room, and the
auditor says "stop", and the preclear tries to stop his body
absolutely still in that instant. It will be found that faster
and faster responses are achieved by the preclear and he can
actually stop the body in more and more peculiar positions. The
auditor then says, "Did you stop your body absolutely still?" The
preclear answers this and then the auditor acknowledges. There
are even more severe versions of this, but they are left to the
imagination of the auditor.

These S-C-S processes produced the greatest control changes that
have been produced with any control process They were consist-
ently used with great success by a great many auditors. This is
not really true of CCH 1." (130).

"There is a peculiar manifestation in Dianetics known as boil
off. Boil-off has assumed tremendously important proportions in
processing, since the case that is very heavily entheta'd has its
charge held down by such quantities of anaten that the induction
of boil-off seems to be the most efficacious way to unburden the
case In a boil-off, a pre-clear will go into an apparent sleep.
This is not sleep, no matter how much it may appear to be, but is
actually a release of unconsciousness which is extremely
concentrated and heavy. The release of this permits the case to
go forward much more rapidly, because under it will lie
quantities of specific incidents which otherwise are masked by
this heavy layer. It is possible that a pre-clear may boil off
for twenty-five to fifty hours, if he is extremely heavily
burdened with entheta. The boil-off has certain strange
manifestations. The pre-clear may, when running an incident,
suddenly begin to maunder and trail off, giving muttered accounts
of strange pictures and unrelated events. This is a mirage
effect, through boil-off, and peculiarly disconnected things will
clutter up his attention at this time, but he does all this in a
very sleepy, dazed condition and shortly after may go into an
even deeper boil-off.

Early in Dianetics, it was thought necessary to keep the
pre-clear more or less alert in a boil-off. This was an error.
The pre-clear should never be disturbed in a boil-off, but should
be permitted to continue in this state until the boil-off is
exhausted. Further, it was once thought that the pre-clear could
be brought up to present time during the boil-off and that the
boil-off would continue automatically. This does not appear to be
the case. A boil off must be continued on the point of the track
where it began to occur.
