I will talk more about how to audit in the next write-up. For now I will simply mention that you usually run process commands repetitively, gradually working deeper until something releases.
On an area that is severely abberated, it is not enough to run one process or find only one key answer or only have a single new realization. You usually have to hit it from many angles and take lots of stuff apart to really dissolve a big area of mental charge. When you have something like one of these GPMs, it tends to fester and lots of lesser things lock up on it. You just keep chipping away at these with various processes and eventually the whole thing begins to crumble.
When I started cleaning up my goal to be intelligent, I simply used a hodge-podge of processes based on anything that had ever been tried by Ron in this area and throwing in other lower grades type processes where some part of the goal (usually the goal's terminal - in this case an intelligent person) could be worked into the command. Eventually, while slopping around this way, I realized what the previous goal was, what lineplot item I was currently dramatizing, and a lot of other stuff and eventually the goal was FNing on the meter and pretty much keyed out. Only then did I try to list out the lineplot.
For general use, and based on hindsight, I have tried to put together a reasonable rundown of processes that should be easier and faster than the exact steps I followed originally. But I must remind you that this has not been tested by a thorough research run on others.
To some degree, this is a streamlined set of lower grade processes aimed at a specific area. It is nowhere near as thorough as the expanded lower grades because we have a narrow target and we don't want the runway to be too long.
It should be possible for a trained solo auditor to run these on himself. It remains to be seen whether an untrained person could self audit them. I think it could be done if you had enough determination and desire to get through it. The monitoring factor is how specific are the commands Vs how much the person can confront. The very specific commands in the "Self Analysis" book can be self audited by almost anybody in the sloppiest manner and still produce results. Some of the vaguer lower grades processes can't even be solo audited unless you're way way up the scale. Here we have the advantage that the target is very specific and (if you have found the right goal) of maximum interest to the person.
In general, the process commands alternate between you, another person (meaning single specific people), and others (meaning groups or society). This tends to unstick self-centered viewpoints, gets you exterior to the actions of the terminal that you may be stuck in, and cleans up flows which go more ways than one (there is inflow that you receive, outflow that you emit, and the crossflow of your observing the interactions of others). Here I have simply put these in an alternating series of commands as was common in earlier auditing rather than trying to run each individual command repetitively to a point of release. I think that would be too arduous and unnecessary in this case. I tried it both ways and this seems to be the better choice.
These processes are especially important when you get back to earlier GPMs. I found that I could list the lineplot straight back into the goal to be holy (my immediately previous GPM) and you might need to do that first to get back through the decayed ending period of the goal, but I could not get any earlier by just running the lineplot. The goal was too long ago and to far outside of my current life. You need to run these general processes to get back enough recall and understanding of who and what you were when you did have the goal before you can really erase the GPM.
7.1 Objective Process
(Objective processes are run on the environment).
One of the reasons the goal decays is that as you live it, you gradually put the characteristic of the opterm into other people. If the goal is to be intelligent, then you tend to make others stupid. These processes are intended to turn that around.
There are two processes, each one is run separately. Do the action over and over again until something happens such as having a realization or suddenly feeling very good etc.
a) Find a crowded place, spot individual people, and postulate the ability of the goal's terminal into them. If, for example, the goal is to be intelligent, then you postulate intelligence into people.
b) Find a crowded place, spot individual people, and within each one, spot some remaining bit of the goal's ability (such as intelligence for example) that is still present in them and validate and encourage it. This is done telepathically. It doesn't matter if they really get the communication or if you just imagine it, what is important is your intention towards them and your recognition that there is at least a tiny remaining spark of the ability in everyone no matter how deeply it is buried (i.e. there is always some remaining shred of intelligence even in the most stupid person).
7.2 Simple Recall
Recalling the positive or pleasurable side of something tends to cool down the upsets and failures associated with the negative side. The earliest and most powerful manifestations of living a goal before it decayed were highly positive (this may not be easily visible in the current lifetime). We want to rekindle some of that strength before we get involved with any of the negative factors.
Also, we want to include an awareness of other people doing the goal when we run this. This not only gets the person off of a self-centered viewpoint, but it helps him look at the goal from outside.
This is a single process with the commands run alternately. Fill in the blank with the goal's ability. I.E. intelligent, holy, or whatever.
a) Recall being _____
b) Recall another being _____
c) Recall others being _____
7.2 ARC Recall
Affinity (liking), Reality (agreement), and Communication are a key basic in living life. We call this the ARC triangle and when all these three factors are present, we find that we also have Understanding. These can all be used to open up the persons memory a bit more and pull him further out of the negative factors into which he may have sunk.
There are 4 processes. Each one is run separately and has its own set of 6 commands that are run alternately.
Fill in the blank with the terminal (i.e. an intelligent person, a holy person, or whatever) of the GPM.
7.2.1 - Recall Communication
a) Recall a time you were in good communication with a(n) _____.
b) Recall a time a(n) ____ was in good communication with you.
c) Recall a time another was in good communication with a(n) _____.
d) Recall a time a(n) ____ was in good communication with another.
e) Recall a time others were in good communication with a(n) _____.
f) Recall a time a(n) ____ was in good communication with others.
7.2.2 - Recall Agreement
a) Recall a time you agreed with a(n) _____.
b) Recall a time a(n) ____ agreed with you.
c) Recall a time another agreed with a(n) _____.
d) Recall a time a(n) ____ agreed with another.
e) Recall a time others agreed with a(n) _____.
f) Recall a time a(n) ____ agreed with others.
7.2.3 - Recall Affinity
a) Recall a time you felt affinity for a(n) _____.
b) Recall a time a(n) ____ felt affinity for you.
c) Recall a time another felt affinity for a(n) _____.
d) Recall a time a(n) ____ felt affinity for another.
e) Recall a time others felt affinity for a(n) _____.
f) Recall a time a(n) ____ felt affinity for others.
7.2.4 - Recall Understanding
a) Recall a time you understood a(n) _____.
b) Recall a time a(n) ____ understood you.
c) Recall a time another understood a(n) _____.
d) Recall a time a(n) ____ understood another.
e) Recall a time others understood a(n) _____.
f) Recall a time a(n) ____ understood others.
7.3 COMMUNICATION PROCESS
It is beneficial to unstick the communication flows by drilling them a bit and pushing through any barriers. Here again we are interested in positive action rather than looking at any negatives.
It is best to imagine actually talking to someone and saying lots of specific things. The importance here is the volume of flow since that can push through barriers you may have set up. You can imagine saying all sorts of outlandish things, just keep the flow going. You can do a big outpouring of stuff on one command and when you run down, switch to the next command.
a) Imagine saying specific things to a(n) _____.
b) Imagine a(n) _____ saying specific things to you.
c) Imagine another saying specific things to a(n) _____.
c) Imagine a(n) _____ saying specific things to another.
d) Imagine others saying specific things to a(n) _____.
e) Imagine a(n) _____ saying specific things to others.
7.4 HELP PROCESS
Part of the goal's decay consists of the accumulated weight of failures to help others. But the anatomy of the trap is that the person takes each failure very seriously and holds on to them and never balances them off against the times he helped successfully. So you handle this by finding times he did help successfully.
When a person is heavily collapsed and the failures seem to far outweigh the successes, you are looking at the end of a long cycle. He always decayed from a state of power and you will find many successes if you go early enough. If you can spot earlier lifetimes where the victories were numerous, then it becomes easy. If not, you can still make it by spotting even the tiniest successes in this lifetime because they will reaffirm the great pile of positive actions that lay earlier out of sight.
a) Recall a time you helped a(n) _____.
b) Recall a time a(n) ____ helped you.
c) Recall a time another helped a(n) _____.
d) Recall a time a(n) ____ helped another.
e) Recall a time others helped a(n) _____.
f) Recall a time a(n) ____ helped others.
7.5 PROTECT PROCESS
Failures to protect are similar to, but usually more violent than failures to help. Here you will find the mass of love and loss, trust and betrayal, etc. If a child loses a parent, no matter how weak and small he is, he tends to feel that he failed to protect the parent from harm.
Again, you can't run the failures by simple recall. That will just sink the person under the weight of his losses. Instead, you must stir up the tremendous positive side. Even if recent lifetimes seem bleak, remember that we have all been around a long time and everyone has had their good periods as well as bad ones.
As in the other processes, run the commands alternately to a big win.
a) Recall a time you protected a(n) _____.
b) Recall a time a(n) ____ protected you.
c) Recall a time another protected a(n) _____.
d) Recall a time a(n) ____ protected another.
e) Recall a time others protected a(n) _____.
f) Recall a time a(n) ____ protected others.
7.6 PROBLEMS PROCESS
Now we're ready to look at one of the mechanisms by which a person will get himself screwed up. What happens is that he will have a problem and then he will solve it and cast the solution in concrete and that will get him into further trouble and lead to more problems. Eventually he has a huge stack of these things, and the older solutions don't even apply to anything anymore but he's still holding them all in place.
This is very intimate to the decay of the GPM. The reliable items (the things he tries to be) might even be looked at as a series of solutions to the opterms (the things opposing him). Here we are not looking for items or opterms, but sometimes one might come into view and should be carefully noted down.
The procedure is to spot a problem, and then spot one or more solutions (as many as will come off easily) and then spot another problem and its solutions, etc. Generally you will keep spotting earlier problems (but its OK if some are later) and solutions that are still in place but no longer appropriate will show up and dissolve which in turn will cause later problems (which came about because of the earlier solutions) to start falling apart and then suddenly the whole mess will fall apart.
This is complex enough that each direction of flow should be run as a separate process. Each process will have two commands. For solo use, you would repeat the solutions command as many times as seems indicated. If you run this on someone else (as in a co-audit), then simply alternating the commands works well enough and avoids the judgment point of determining if the PC has more solutions for that problem (he will just come up with the same problem again if there are more).
Fill in the blank with the goal's terminal (an intelligent person, a holy person, or whatever).
7.6.1
a) What problem might a(n) ____ have with another or others.
b) What solutions might a(n) ____ have to that problem.
7.6.2
a) What problem might another or others have with a(n) ____.
b) What solutions might they have to that problem.
7.6.3
a) What problem might a(n) ____ observer between others.
b) What solutions might a(n) ____ have to their problem.
7.6.4
a) What problem might a(n) ____ create for himself.
b) What solutions might a(n) ____ have to that problem.
Note that there are several ways to set up these questions (see the Scientology grade 1 processes). I have picked what seemed to be the most powerful variation.
7.7 OVERTS / WITHHOLDS
Here we hit the really causative side. The person does things and then he hides them and withdraws from action. Maybe he meant to do harm or maybe he was just getting away with something, or perhaps he even had good intentions and it went wrong. Often the person sinks to the point where he's holding himself back from doing anything because it might bring about harm.
So we ask for what the person has done, because we are working up a gradient scale of responsibility for doing things. We don't insist that the "done" be a harmful act because any admission of having acted is a positive step. The harmful acts should and will come up on these questions, but don't force it. And we alternate the "done" question with a withholding type question to unstick the continual withholding that most people live with.
Again we will run each direction of flow as a separate process.
The overts are among the most significant things that accumulate as one lives the GPM and raising one's confront on these may cause a significant amount of charge to unravel. This should make it possible to get a bit more exterior to the GPM, so we will add another flow at the end to help with this.
7.7.1
a) What might a(n) ____ do to another.
b) What might a(n) ____ hide from another.
7.7.2
a) What might another do to a(n) ____.
b) What might another hide from a(n) ____.
7.7.3
a) what might a(n) ____ do to others.
b) what might a(n) ____ hide from others.
7.7.4
a) What might a(n) ____ do to himself.
b) What might a(n) ____ hide from himself.
7.7.5
a) What might you do to a(n) ____.
b) What might you hide from a(n) ____.
Note that this last one is extremely important if your goal has already decayed significantly.
7.8 CHANGE
Change is an important button. If a person can't change, he can't get better.
Insistence upon and resistance to change are both significant sources of overts and a common underlying cause in many upsets between people.
The identities that one uses in a GPM are fixed solutions to the problems of living and therefore tend to resist change even when the change would be for the better.
7.8.1
a) What might a(n) ____ want to change in another.
b) What might a(n) ____ prevent changing in another.
7.8.2
a) What might another want to change in a(n) ____.
b) What might another prevent changing in a(n) ____.
7.8.3
a) what might a(n) ____ want to change in others.
b) what might a(n) ____ prevent changing in others.
7.8.4
a) What might a(n) ____ want to change in himself.
b) What might a(n) ____ prevent changing in himself.
7.8.5
a) What might you want to change in a(n) ____.
b) What might you prevent changing in a(n) ____.
7.9 UPSETS
Upsets generally occur between people because flows of affinity, reality, communication, or understanding are enforced or inhibited. Spotting exactly what is going on with these flows is the basic technique used in Scientology processing to handle upsets (which we call ARC Breaks) between people. The full list of what can happen to a flow to bring about an ARCX is: Curious, Desire, Enforce, Inhibit, No (e.g. the absence of), and Refused.
When an ARC Break happens, the reaction is generally all out of proportion to what actually occurred. When you get the person to spot that, lets say, he became upset because his communication was refused, he cools down a bit. And if you then work back to earlier similar upsets (because these things build up over time), you can really bring major relief.
In this case, we are not trying to handle a specific upset, but instead are trying to undercut the entire mass of upsets associated with a specific terminal.
To keep the runway from being too long, we will limit ourselves to the three most common buttons, which are inhibit, enforce, and desire since these should pick up enough for our purposes here (we are only handling a single terminal instead of trying to produce a full grade 3 release).
In this case, the different directions of flow are best handled by alternating commands rather than separate processes. By working a precise button (such as inhibiting communication) with a specific process, this should lead the person back to basic on a particular kind of upset and take it apart.
As a side note, this is a new procedure that is not currently part of Scientology's grade 3 processing. A generalized version of this (with all 6 buttons) should really be added to that grade. Furthermore, really early track ARCXs (prior to home universe) require adding Not-Know to the list of buttons.
7.9.1 Inhibited Communication
a) What communication might a(n) ____ inhibit in another.
b) What communication might another inhibit in a(n) ____.

e) What communication might you inhibit a(n) ____ from saying.
7.9.2 Enforced Communication
a) What communication might a(n) ____ enforce on another.

b) What communication might another desire from a(n) ____.
c) What communication might a(n) ____ desire from others.
d) What communication might a(n) ____ make himself desire.
e) What communication might you desire from a(n) ____.
7.9.4 Rejected agreement
* on this one reject seems to fit better than inhibit
a) What agreement might a(n) ____ reject from another.
b) What agreement might another reject from a(n) ____.
c) What agreement might a(n) ____ reject from others.
d) What agreement might a(n) ____ make himself reject.

b) What agreement might another enforce on a(n) ____.
c) What agreement might a(n) ____ enforce on others.
d) What agreement might a(n) ____ force on himself.
e) What agreement might you force on a(n) ____.
7.9.6 Desired agreement
a) What agreement might a(n) ____ desire from another.
b) What agreement might another desire from a(n) ____.
c) What agreement might a(n) ____ desire from others.
d) What agreement might a(n) ____ make himself desire.

7.9.7 Inhibited affinity
a) What affinity might a(n) ____ inhibit in another.
b) What affinity might another inhibit in a(n) ____.
c) What affinity might a(n) ____ inhibit in others.
d) What affinity might a(n) ____ inhibit in himself.
e) What affinity might you inhibit in a(n) ____ .
7.9.8 Enforced affinity
a) What affinity might a(n) ____ enforce on another.
b) What affinity might another enforce on a(n) ____.
c) What affinity might a(n) ____ enforce on others.
d) What affinity might a(n) ____ enforce on himself.
e) What affinity might you enforce on a(n) ____.
7.9.9 Desired affinity
a) What affinity might a(n) ____ desire from another.
b) What affinity might another desire from a(n) ____.
c) What affinity might a(n) ____ desire from others.
d) What affinity might a(n) ____ make himself desire.
e) What affinity might you desire from a(n) ____.
These 9 processes should be enough. If necessary, you can also run these buttons on Understanding. They can also be run on Reality either in addition to or in place of Agreement. Also, as mentioned earlier, more than 3 processes are possible on each button. This pattern of processes on the ARC triangle can also be run on the beingness/doingness/havingness triangle.
7.10 JUSTIFICATIONS
In this universe, the individual is struggling to survive and allows himself to commit his worst overts on that basis. Then he buries them under a heavy layer of justifications. Here you can get many answers on questions b and d for each answer to questions a and c respectively.
a) What would a(n) ___ do to ensure his survival b) what justifications would he have for that c) What would a(n) ___ stop others from doing to ensure his own survival d) what justifications would he have for that
7.11 RIGHTNESS and WRONGNESS
Now we want to clean up the "Service Facsimile" (the computation he uses to make others wrong).
7.11.1
This is a repetitive process. We run this first to take off charge.
a) How might a(n) ____ make himself right. b) How might a(n) ____ make others wrong.
7.11.2
Now we need to list for the answer. It will often be a computation in the form of "They're ....", but take whatever comes up. See the next write-up for more information on listing techniques if you are not already trained in this.
The listing question is:
a) What would a(n) ____ use to make others wrong.
Note that we do not limit the answers to this lifetime (as is usually done in grade 4). The limiter is needed there to keep him from sliding into multiple GPMs (which each have a different answer to this question). Here we get the same effect by referring to the specific GPM terminal.
7.11.3
If the previous question did not result in a basic answer in the form of "They're ....", then list the following:
a) From the viewpoint of a(n) ____, what is it about them that makes them so wrong.
7.11.4
Taking the most basic answer from the above listing question(s), run the following:
a) How would (..answer..) make others wrong.
b) How would (..answer..) make a(n)____ right.
7.12 VIEWPOINTS
Although this kind of processing is usually used on grade 0 in Scientology, it is actually a very advanced process and makes a good finishing touch in our handling of the GPM terminal. This should help you get exterior to it.
a) From where could you communicate to a(n) _____.
b) From where could a(n) ____ communicate to you.
c) From where could a(n) ____ communicate to others.
d) From where could a(n) _____ communicate to himself.
