6. THE CHECKSHEET ITSELF (continued)

   
  13. AUDITOR MUST NOTS

The 1974 checksheet has -

* HCOB 7 APR 64 All Levels Q&A
(TV 5) (NTV 7)

* HCOB 3 AUG 65 Auditing Goofs - Blowdown Interruptions
(TV 6) (NTV 7)

* HCOB 7 MAY 69 5 GAEs (Gross Auditing Errors)
(TV 6) (NTV 8)

* HCOB 17 MAY 69 TRs & Dirty Needles
(TV 6) (NTV 8)

BTB 4 JUL 69 Auditing of OT III Preclears (reissued 6 JUL 74
as a BTB replacing the HCOB of the same date and title)

BTB 17 JUL 69R Flagrant Auditing Errors (revised and reissued 28 JUN 74 as a BTB replacing HCOB 17 JUL 69 same title)
(as a BTB this was omitted from the TV but is back to being an HCOB later and is in NTV 8)

Clay demos on a) the 5 GAEs, b) the effects of interrupting a BD,
c) three examples of Q&A

The 1987 checksheet only has 3 AUG 65 blowdown interruption plus:

HCOB 5 APR 80 Q&A, The Real Definition
(NTV 12)

The demos are a) the effects of interrupting a BD, b) correct procedure when a blowdown is occurring, c) three examples of Q&A, d) the 3 oldest rules in processing (the 1987 checksheet has HCOPL 27 MAY 65 Processing here instead of earlier).


14. INDICATORS

The 1987 checksheet doesn't have these at all. I would think that this area is extremely important, maybe they expect that it would already have been covered on an earlier course.

* HCOB 29 JUL 64 Good Indicators at Lower Levels
(TV 5) (NTV 7)

* BTB 26 APR 69 Bad Indicators at Lower Levels (reissued 7 JUL 74 as a BTB replacing HCOB of same date and title)
(TV 6)
(replaced by HCOB 3 MAY 80 PC Indicators in TV 14)

And auditor expertise drills ED-13 and ED-14 from the expertise BTB listed earlier under Obnosis.


15. AUDITOR ADMIN

The auditor's admin series was issued as HCOBs in 1972. They were compiled by "Training & Services". It accurately reflected the actual practice and forms in use. Some of these were previously in earlier bulletins or buried in the C/S series, and other things such as the PC assessment sheet were simple black and white mimeos that had been in use for many years without having been issued as bulletins. For example, older materials referred to the PC Assessment Sheet as "The White Form" because it was black on white.

The 1972 HCOBs were reissued in 1974 as BTBs and appear that way on the 1974 checksheet. By 1987 they had become HCOBs again and gone through some revisions.

For brevity AA = Auditor's Admin Series.

The admin series is in TV 9 (they include BTBs in TV 9 if they are part of a series). The reissued ones as HCOBs are mostly in NTV 13.

Drill - makeup a 'dummy' pc folder with forms etc.

The 1987 checksheet also has:

HCOB 13 NOV 87 AA 3RA "The PC Folder And Its Contents"
(the 1974 checksheet should have had the 6 NOV 72
version but didn't)

HCOB 5 MAR 71 C/S series 25, AA 10, "The Fantastic New HGC Line"
(TV 7) (NTV 9)

Not on either checksheet but useful here is HCOB 15 MAY 80
"How to write up a session" in TV 13.


16. CLEARING COMMANDS

The 1974 checksheet has -

* HCOPL 4 APR 72R rev 7 APR 72 Ethics and Study Tech
(NTV 10 as revised 21 JUN 75)

* HCOB 14 NOV 65 Clearing Commands
(TV 5) (NTV 7)

* BTB 2 MAY 72R rev 10 JUN 74 Clearing Commands


The 1987 checksheet has -

(WC Series = Word Clearing Series)

* HCOB 21 JUN 72 WC Series 38 Method 5
(TV 8) (NTV 10 as revised 20 FEB 89)

* HCOB 8 JUL 74R rev 24 JUL 74 WC Series 53R Clear to FN
(TV 8) (NTV 10)

* HCOB 9 AUG 78 Clearing Commands
(TV 12) (NTV 11)

* HCOB 15 JUL 78RA rev 10 MAR 84 Scientology Auditing C/S-1
(NTV 11) (original in TV 12) (25 MAR 81 revision in TV 13)

Plus drilling method 5 and clearing commands on a doll.

Early level zero checksheets only had the 14 NOV 65 bulletin. Then HCOB 9 NOV 68 "Clearing commands all levels" was used until 1972. (TV 6) (NTV 8)

Beginning around 1971, word clearing became of major importance. The 1972 ethics policy above reinforced this with heavy penalties. Lists of every word used on correction lists etc. were issued and required to be cleared on a pc before they could start their auditing. In the HGC, entire intensives were used up in clearing words before any real professional auditing would take place. This was not inflicted on student pcs at that time, but it was required of internes as part of setting up a case. Needless to say, I consider this to be a major road block to actually getting anything done for a pc. Simple clearing of commands worked adequately in earlier days and massive clearing of lists of words could be used as a remedy in special cases rather than a standard roadblock.


17. HAVINGNESS PROCESSES

This is only on the 1987 checksheet.

HCOB 7 AUG 78 Havingness, Finding and running the PC's havingness process
(TV 12) (NTV 8)

HCOB 6 OCT 60R rev 8 MAY 74 36 New Presessions
(TV 4) (NTV 5)

A great deficiency in the pre-standard tech grades was that running havingness had pretty much been dropped. It had been used regularly in the old days but was not on the grade chart. We did use these in review and the 36 New Presessions was the main reference (it lists a large number of good havingness processes) but it was only used as a repair rather than a normal action.

(it seems to me that the old presession list we used was either black on white or a blue info letter rather than an HCOB - was this reissued? - does anybody have a real 1960s copy?)

The triple grades of early standard tech added in a standard havingness process to use at the end of each grade. But there was no normal use of havingness at the end of every session.

When expanded grades came out (1970), the old practice of finding the pcs havingness process and using it at the end of every session was put back in. But this one seemed to come and go, being required in some years and cancelled in others throughout the 1970s. Sometimes it was at C/S (case supervisor) discretion. If I recall correctly, it was out of favor at the time of the 1974 checksheet.

Since it is an easy to run and a beneficial action and at least some pcs will need it, it is a good idea to have it as part of the class zero skills.


18. SESSION HANDLING

The 1974 checksheet has -

* BTB 18 NOV 68R rev 9 JUN 74 Model Session (rev & reissue of HCOB 18 NOV 68 same title)

* HCOB 24 MAY 70 rev 23 AUG 71 C/S Series 1 Auditor's Rights
(TV 7) (in NTV 9 as 23 AUG 71 with no hint that it is a revision)


The 1987 checksheet has Auditor's Rights as above and -

HCOB 4 DEC 77R rev 19 AUG 87 Checklist for setting up Sessions and an E-Meter (NTV 11) (original in NTV 11)

* HCOB 11 AUG 78 Model Session (TV 12) (NTV 11)

HCOB 7 MAR 75 Ext And Ending Session (TV 8) (NTV 10)


Throughout the 1960s, the standard structure of a session with its rudiments etc. has been outlined in a "model session" HCOB. New versions were issued as the tech evolved and the older checksheets had whatever the latest model session bulletin was. The original 18 Nov 68 Model Session was the first one used for standard tech and it required flying the rudiments. Prior model sessions only checked and cleaned the rudiments rather than trying to take them to an FN.

When standard tech came out in late 1968, it added in rigid case supervision and the auditors were no longer allowed to do anything in a session that was not expressly called for in the CS instructions. Therefore if the pc ARC Broke in session, the auditor would have to end off for C/S instructions before being permitted to handle the ARC break. This was one of the reasons for the massive failure of standard tech as originally issued. The Auditor's Rights HCOB was a major improvement which restored the rights of an auditor to handle certain things on his own recognicance.


19. RUDIMENTS

The 1974 checksheet has -

* HCOB 15 AUG 69 Flying Rudiments
(TV 6) (NTV 8)

* BTB 11 APR 74 Handling ARC Breaks (this says reissued as a BTB but doesn't have the original HCOB date)

And also flying ruds drills ED 21 & ED 22 from BTB 15 OCT 74 Auditor Expertise Drills Series Number 2 "Basic Session Actions Drills"


The 1987 checksheet has -

* HCOB 11 AUG 78 Rudiments, Definitions and Patter
(TV 12) (NTV 11)

* HCOB 6 JUN 84 Missed Withhold Handling
(NTV 12 has the 12 JAN 90 revision)


The older checksheets cleaned the rudiments as given in the 3 JUL 65 model session HCOB. They also included the simple ARCX handling given in HCOB 29 MAR 65 "ARC Breaks" (TV 6).

When standard tech came out, the rudiments had to be flown (taken to FN). This is in the short and inadequate HCOB of 23 SEP 68 "New Rudiments" (TV 6, NTV 8) which is clarified by 3 OCT 68 "New Rudiment Questions" (TV 6, not in NTV) which says that class zero auditors only do this by getting Itsa (get the pc to talk about it and spot or identify things himself) rather than doing ARC break assessments and so forth.

Following this, there was an HCOB probably in 1969 which gave rudiments for lower levels. This was similar to the 11 Aug 78 bulletin but substituted Itsa and going earlier similar for the complex handling. This became a BTB and then was cancelled before the tech volumes came out and therefor did not get into them.

Simple handling by means of communication techniques (Itsa) would seem to be the best way rather than attempting to teach metering or formal handling of rudiments at this level. The actual theory and understanding of ARC Breaks, for example, is on level 3 and giving a level 0 student an ARC Break assessment to do without giving him all the level 3 theory behind it is just asking to make a robot who has no real understanding of the technique that he is using.


20. PROCESSING

The 1987 checksheet only has a small section on communication processes and expanded grade zero. The theory bulletins for most of the processes on the level were not included on the checksheet, instead they were only studied on the internship.

The 1974 checksheet included the theory bulletins for the processes to be run and that will be in the next two sections below.

The 1987 checksheet has -

* HCOB 23 JUN 80RA rev 25 OCT 83 Checking Questions on grades processes
(NTV 12) (TV 14 has the 25 Feb 82 revision)

* HCOB 3 DEC 78 Unreading Flows
(TV 12) (NTV 11)

The 2 bulletins above are not on the 1974 checksheet. Whether or not to check auditing questions for reads before running them varied over the years, being put in and then taken out etc. Also, if a class zero auditor was not trained in reading a meter, then they wouldn't check for reads even if higher classed professions were doing so.

For process theory, they only included the 11 DEC 64 and 26 DEC 64 bulletins (in section 22 below) and a few that I listed in the comm cycles section earlier.

HCOB 8 SEP 78RB rev 16 NOV 87 Mini-List of Grade
0 to IV Processes.
(NTV 11) (original in TV 12) (TV 14 has the 6 MAR 82 revision)

On the above, they only study numbers 1 to 4, and they also drill them on a doll. These are the only processes that the student audits on a pc as part of the course.

But they do include the HCOB that lists all the processes (these are only in the new tech vols and need to be posted to the net as well as the corresponding older BTBs listed later).

HCOB 14 NOV 87 Expanded ARC Strightwire Grade Process Checklist (NTV 13)

HCOB 14 NOV 87 Expanded Grade 0 Process Checklist
(NTV 13)

HCOB 17 MAR 74 Two-Way Comm, Using Wrong Questions.
(this one is on the 1974 checksheet as well)
(TV 12) (NTV 10)



21. ARC Straightwire

This is only on the 1974 Checksheet.

And even this checksheet is deficient in the theory of straightwire (recall) processes. It does include the self analysis book, but that's about it.

Older checksheets sometimes had chapters 5 to 8 of Science of Survival which cover the early theory of straightwire.

Some of the essentials cassettes listed earlier are also applicable to this area.

It might also be a good idea to include some other
early tape references such as the 3rd ACC tape
"Present Time, Self Analysis".

The 1974 checksheet does have -

BTB 4 JAN 72RA rev 14 JUL 73, rev & reissued as BTB 28 JUN 74 "0-IV Expanded Grade Processes - Triples Part A ARC Straightwire"

This lists all the processes used for the grade at that time. Note that the lineup varied over the years and it is not the same as that in the 14 NOV 87 bulletin that is on the 1987 checksheet.

They also had drills for all the processes in the following:

BTB 9 OCT 71R rev 8 AUG 73 rev & reiss as BTB 28 JUN 74 "ARC Straightwire Drills"

And they included the original bulletins for all of the processes (some are in the Self Analysis and Dianetics 55 books listed earlier) -

transcript 16 FEB 59 Staff Auditors Conference (this is transcribed in the tech vols - TV3 and NTV 5)

HCOB 20 OCT 59 An Experimental Process
(TV 3) (NTV 5)

HCOB 16 FEB 59 HGC Processes for those trained in Engram Running
(TV 3) (NTV 5)

HCOB 8 APR 58 A Pair of Processes
(TV 3) (NTV 4)

PAB 143 of 1 SEP 58 "A pair of Processes"
(not in either TV, but TV 3 on the 8 APR 58 HCOB above says that this PAB only contained that bulletin and HCOB 22 MAR 58 "Clearing Reality" which is in the same TVs)

HCOB 9 MAR 60 Expansion of OT-3A Procedure
(no relationship to modern OT III)
(TV 4 - theoretically cancelled by 5 JUN 61 when the processing lineup changed and included in the expanded grade, but since it had once been cancelled it is not in the NTV)

HCOB 20 APR 60 Processes
(not in either set of TVs, probably reissued as a BTB)

HCOB 27 SEP 68 ARC Straightwire
(TV 6) (NTV 8)

And since one of these uses the know to mystery scale, the book 0-8 was referenced for that scale. I would suggest that if the student is going to use the scale in a process, they should understand it, so an early reference explaining the scale should probably be included.


22. GRADE 0 PROCESSES

Hopefully the student will already have enough general theory on communications processing by this point.

BTB 5 JAN 72R rev 20 JUL 73 rev & reissued as BTB 18 JUN 74 "0-IV Expanded Grade Processes - Triples Part B Grade 0 Processes"

Plus the drills for these in -

BTB 9 OCT 71RA rev 21 JUL 73 rev & reiss as BTB 29 JUL 74 "Level 0 Drills"

And the bulletins on the original processes -

PAB 56 of 8 JUL 55 Axiom 51 and Comm Processing
(TV 2) (NTV 3)

PAB 54 of 10 JUN 55 Reality Level of Preclear
(TV 2) (NTV 3)

HCOB 17 MAR 60 Standardized Sessions

HCOB 25 SEP 59 HAS Co-Audit
(TV 3) (NTV 5)

HCOB 21 JUL 59 HGC Allowed Processes
(TV 3) (NTV 5)

HCOB 13 OCT 59 DEI Expanded Scale
(TV 3) (NTV 5)

HCOB 26 DEC 64 Routine 0-A Expanded
(TV 5) (NTV 7)

HCOB 11 DEC 64 Scientology 0 Processes
(TV 5) (NTV 7)

And also R2-31 and R2-60 in Creation of Human Ability

And the 6 levels of processing in 8-8008


23. Auditing

As noted earlier, the 1987 checksheet only requires that the student run a few processes.

The 1974 checksheet required running all the expanded straightwire and grade zero processes.

There was a brief period in the late 70s or early 80s when the course required no auditing and the student would only do his auditing on the internship. That did not work very well.
