THEORY COURSE FOR AUDITORS (CHECKSHEET)

Name of Student:

Commencement of Course:

Purpose: To obtain full understanding of the fundamental philosophy of Ron Hubbard's philosophy, and to gain the ability to recognise and apply the data in daily life and in session.

Prerequisites: The "Mini Study Course" (consisting of a thorough checkout on the relevant pages of "More than a Cult" or the VMH).

Length of Course: 3 to 5 days depending on the degree of preparation (see "Note" below).

Course Materials: The course is based on the book "Scientology  More than a Cult?" (LK1). Chapters 1 and 2 of the "Pied Pipers" (LK3) should have been read as well as they elaborate on various theory points mentioned in LK1.

The following books by Ron Hubbard should be available to look up source materials as referred to in LK1: the Technical Dictionary, Scn 08, Dianetics, History of Man, Science of Survival.

(Note the typographical error under (1) in the bibliography of LK1: "Scn 0 8008" should read "Scn 08").

Note: This checksheet is divided into three parts: a study/checkout section, a supervisor examination, and a clay demo section at the end. The study section may be done at home with partnercheckouts. The checksheet may also be used as a study guide for studying solo (if one feels confident). Eventually the clay demos will demonstrate the effectiveness of one's study. They must be checked out by the course supervisor. If one has studied at home and before one does the clay demos, one receives a broad general checkout on the definitions of all terms printed in bold letters in L.Kin 1. This is not a repetition of all the checksheet questions already studied but aims to broaden the student's ability to "juggle the terms about" and connect each term with each other flexibly. The course supervisor may (in line with study tech) insist on further reading and extra demos if he considers it necessary. Where "essay" is stated, a formal essay is not required; merely bullet points which can be used as reference in conversation.

A. Overview

1. Read the book "Scn  More than a Cult?" to get a broad idea of the subject.

2. As "Cult" refers to the author's opinions and conclusions, it is recommended that one look up source references as one encounters them in the text of LK1 so as to develop one's own ideas with the aid of the original Hubbard texts. They are listed below. The numbers refer to the bibliography of LK1. This can be done at the student's discretion. It is not compulsory, unless one wanted to solo audit after completion of the practical course or become a professional auditor.
p. 11, paragraph three: see "Code of a Scientologist" in [1].
p. 14, paragraph one: "Dianetics", part 1, chapter 5, or in [1].
p. 19, paragraph two: see "a description of Scientology" in [1].
p. 23, paragraph two: Foreword in [5].
p. 24, paragraph one: Foreword in [5].
p. 30, paragraph one: Chapter 6 in [5].
p. 32, paragraph three: Chapter 5 in [5].
p. 334 paragraph four/one: Chapter 1 and 3 in [6].
p. 51, paragraph three: "Professional Auditor's Bulletin 2"  see Tech Volumes.
p. 51, paragraph three, second quotation: "Creation of Human Ability", chapter 9, under "This is Scientology".
p. 65, paragraph two: "Dianetics" part 3, chapter 1.
p. 65, paragraph three: "Dianetics" part 3, chapter 10.
p. 71, paragraph three: "Fundamentals of Thought", appendix: "The Aims of Scientology".
p. 8990: Pandeterminism to forget: "The Volunteer Minister's Handbook", chapter K, see Robotism.

B. Study

Applying study tech, now study the whole book thoroughly. The checkout questions suggested here follow the gradient approach of the text. Therefore a supervisor should not demand more than what is covered in the relevant section of the book. Use of demokits is required whether directly specified or not.

This section may also be used as a study guide for people studying solo.

I. Part One

1. Explain "The dynamic principle of existence: Survive!" (p.14).
2. Checkout on all bold printed words (p.1316).
3. Show why one's case is caused by oneself (p.16).
4. Define the words "Dianetics" and "Scientology" (p.13 & 22).
5. Checkout on all technical terms (p.2333).
6. Demo the quote on p. 32, paragraph 3 ("beings......) (see also summary on p.35).

Ref: "The ARC Triangle" up to "Communication"

11. What are axioms, and what is their significance in a science? (p.9496).

C. Verbal Examination

Should this checksheet have been studied at home, the supervisor examination mentioned on page 1 would be done at this point. It is done from the viewpoint that the student has studied it all and in principle knows it all. Therefore it isn't a pagebypage checkout but an "educated dialogue" lasting some hours. It ascertains that the clay demos following next won't pose a problem to the student in terms of his general understanding. (It helps to use the "Glossary" in the appendix to LK3!)

D. Clay Demos

1. According to Factors 17, clay demo how a static "turns into" a thetan. (See also Axioms 14, 25, 4446). To differentiate between thetan and static, see LK1/p.136 and relevant passages in LK3. (Use clay balls to represent theta quanta/dimension points; to represent the direction of intention and attention use arrows.)

Note: From here on please do all clay demos using theta quanta/dimension points whenever appropriate. Feel free to move them around demokit fashion so as to demonstrate various aspects of the question at hand. Particularly in clay demo 1, 2 and 3 will this be necessary in order to avoid making too many clay "frames" for one's clay "comic strip".

2. Demonstrate how the emotional tone scale results from the actions of reaching and withdrawing. Show how the space of the thetan changes. Do a clay demo on this, showing how the emotion levels from 4.0 to 0.5 evolve from each other. Note that these levels can be demonstrated as flows, dispersals and ridges (see the first few pages of the chapter "Affinity, Communication and Reality" in "Scn 8 8008".)

3. Demonstrate the communication cycle as in Factor 11, Axiom 28, and the communication formula: a) Show how a thetan perceives another thetan; i.e. includes him in his space (also use dimension points in this example). b) Show how he intends to send a communication to the other and that it should be duplicated and understood. c) Show how he actually carries out the communication. (Make him do this with strong intention). d) Show how it is duplicated by the recipient. e) Show how it is understood by the recipient. f) Using the clay demo, show to which of the three universes the various parts of the demo belong. Also show which parts represent an "actuality" and which ones represent a "reality". Note: The clay demos following now form one huge clay demo resulting in a full demonstration of the composite case. A large space is required for the demo. Show thetan, GE and body separately as required.

4. Clay demo: The Scale of Frustration, starting with the highest point "know", and show how reach turns into withdraw as one moves down the scale.

5. Change the above clay demo so it reflects the sequence from asisness to notisness.

6. In your clay demo, make it clear how a GPM is formed out of postulate and counterpostulate.

7. Show how a thetan uses his energy quanta when trying to withdraw from the incident or when trying to resist it, thereby creating a reactive mental image picture. (Show the difference between the real incident and the mental picture).

8. Show the thetan with a destimulated (dormant) GPM.

9. Clay demo the exact procedure of restimulation of the GPM: a. As a secondary. b. As a lock.

10. Add a physical trauma, illness or accident to the existing sequence of events, and show how the GE records the engram.

11. How this engram is later restimulated and dramatised as a secondary.

12. If not shown yet: point out the possible crisscross restimulation between the engram and the GPM, showing how they add force to each other. (If adding this to your clay demo is too complicated, you may show it to the supervisor by simply pointing it out.)

13. Add to the existing clay demo how the auditee adopts the valence of a person from his past.

14. Add an entity which was created as the result of an implant: How it is created, how it joins with the thetan, how he then goes into its valence and dramatises the implant (see p. 183185 and 2730, also LK3/ch.1).

15. Using one of the parts of the composite case on your clay table, show how a second asisness occurs (that of erasure) and show that this is caused by gradual duplication as in an auditing session (see Ax. 12 ff.).

17. Clay demo "havingness" in both definitions of the word.

18. Explain in view of your complete clay demo the abilities of a "Clear on the first dynamic" and what aspects of the case are audited on the lower, middle, and upper bridge.
