“How to Run a Can’t Have on Scientology” by David Miscavige

Jun 2

Posted by John Nonez in Tech Talk | 1 Comment

David Miscavige has figured out a lot of ways to stop your progress up the Bridge.

SPs are suppressive towards people by denying things they want, particularly when those things desired could make those people more powerful, and thus endanger the suppressive.

Some rise to great positions of power and wield the most harm.

When it comes to running a philosophy that truly does make more powerful beings, the job becomes paramount to deny it’s usage in every way possible.

That’s what SPs do – they run “can’t haves.”

Miscavige has come up with numerous ways to run a can’t-have on Scientology on people.

Also, it is no coincidence that the easiest way to upset a Scientologist is to deny the tech to them and delay their personal enhancement. LRH talked about this in the Briefing Course lectures, the ARC Break of being denied auditing. This can even happen in session, particularly with a Golden Age of Tech auditor who insists on handling rudiments for hours before the main body of the session can be embarked upon.

Here is a sampling of how a person is denied their Bridge by Miscavige: Never releasing OT Levels beyond OT 8; arbitrary OT Eligibility requirements after going Clear costing tens of thousands of dollars and months if not years in lost time; kicking pcs off auditing lines arbitrarily; 6 month thefts twice a year for those on OT 7 (taking them off their NOTS auditing program and onto another – an unwarranted sec check – which LRH said at that level is the worst thing you could do is to take them off their auditing program and onto another); making someone on Solo NOTs become an IAS Patron ($40,000) before they can be considered “Cause over Life” (stated in actual Flag issue to those on OT 7); endless Purification Rundowns that stir up case trouble and invalidate gains; Objectives Rundowns that last hundreds of hours and just maul a person around in a God awful overrun; Grades auditing that isn’t given a chance to really bite and shoot the pc up the tone scale; invalidating hundreds of Clears on their past-life Clear state so that they are effectively stalled; introducing arbitraries regarding what the EP of Clear should be and who passes the test; changing the definition of an F/N so that valid ones are missed and cause overruns and invalidated wins; changing the definition of instant reads so that uncharged areas are taken up and charged areas are overlooked; pushing for donations that don’t deliver one auditing command towards OT or one checksheet item towards being a trained auditor and push a person into debt, unable to afford the Bridge; keeping prices so high the layman can’t afford to improve his lot case-wise or get trained to co-audit; making the training line-up too long a runway effectively stopping progress in getting trained and making it all the way to a certificate; demanding skills at lower levels of auditor training that aren’t needed until higher levels making for losses and failures resulting in the person quitting; purging key top executives who might expose him using any means possible; oppressing Sea Org members worldwide and making them ineffective and down-tone; eliminating and losing the tech of staff co-audits which LRH directed be run so that all staff went up the Bridge; minimizing the importance of Staff Staff Auditors and failing to mention them in program targets to establish a “real” Qual Division; unmocking working installations at all echelons; musical chairing staff in all units so as to destabilize them; ripping off staff from other orgs leaving their delivery crippled so that another org can look “ideal”; destroying the Universe Corps which was charged with getting staff to OT once their org went St. Hill size; not getting Super Power released (with a name like that, it’s no wonder an SP would shudder at letting it be delivered); changing the procedures to rundowns like FPRD so as to make them bypass charge with overruns and invalidation; declaring anyone suppressive who dares think for himself and raise questions about what’s going on in the church; destroying the Dianetics advertising campaign that was a huge success and instead opting for ineffective or non-existent advertising; putting in “ethics” so hard on auditors that no one wants the job and the ones that are there vanish in injustice; and the list goes on. Perhaps you can think of some that others could benefit from spotting themselves.

The result is suppression and a can’t have on Scientology. If you think it’s hard to go up the Bridge, it’s because it was made that way by a suppressive.

The arbitraries are canceled.

Move on up a little higher.

MISCAVOLOGY REPAIR LIST

May 12

Posted by John Nonez in Tech Talk | 3 Comments

I just put this together. Let me know what you think. If you think something else should be on the list let me know. I will probably be revising it and if so will put a notation by the date under the title of the list.

It is for use by any auditor who would like to use it. This list can help smooth the way for stable gains by pcs, and produce considerable gain all by itself.

MISCAVOLOGY REPAIR LIST

April 8, 2010R

Revised April 9, 2010

Ref: HCOB C/S Series 62 KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
“Usually, by prepared lists issued or from C/S prepared lists, the C/S finds and gets handled by the auditor in the same session much of what is wrong. This combines finding out with handling.
“Any prepared list carried to F/N on each read (Method 3) or the indicated action done will give case gain. Maybe it’s all the case gain one could ask for.
“But such reads even if F/Ned and the text in the Worksheet give the C/S new data about this case.” LRH

People coming out of the church have bypassed charge. This list is designed to address that BPC, similar to how the EST Repair List or Psyche Repair List is designed for those practices.

It should be done as a priority as per HCOB C/S Series 3.

The list should be assessed Method 3. If the pc is heavily upset, it can be assessed Method 5 and the reads handled in proper sequence per C/S Series 44R. OTs would have the reads handled per HCOB HANDLING CORRECTION LISTS ON OTs.

All reads must be F/Ned per HCOB F/N EVERYTHING.

A proper prefix should be used before each question, such as “In the Church of Scientology…” etc.

THE EX-SCIENTOLOGIST

May 8

Posted by John Nonez in Open Letters | No Comments

It occurred to me that as a person comes up the awareness scale as regards the current scene in the church, realizing that he or she no longer wants to support it, that they can invalidate their wins and gains from the tech.

If a person lacks a solid fundamental understanding of how and why auditing works, has done little auditing of others, or not progressed very far himself up the Bridge, this becomes even easier to do. He reads some entheta online, decides it was all a big mistake and seeks to turn the page in his life.

And he has every right to.

My concern is that some may be struggling with stress in their lives and not have any answers anymore. Wrong solutions can be attempted, and further problems ensue. Having invalidated the subject of Scientology, it is no longer looked to as a possible way out of the muck they find themselves in.

The truth of it is that real LRH technology can bring them out of that muck, and into a better life.

LRH auditing tech is not the problem in the church – it is the insane actions of management and the out-ARC approach to leading and running the church.

That aberration stems from failure to apply, or to instead mis-apply, LRH tech to those individuals properly in the first place.

I know this to be true because I know auditing works, and can remove those conditions.

I am a different person today because of the technology. I recently went to a high school reunion, and it really brought this home to me. It wasn’t that I was noticing I was different, it was all these people who hadn’t seen me in years telling me emphatically how much I had changed for the better. I was an introverted, out of communication teen growing up, who couldn’t confront life. They saw an individual at the reunion who was extroverted and in communication. The difference is not subtle and not something that would have occurred naturally. I needed to erase a lot of pain, mental and physical, from my past for this change to come about. My auditing brought about this change.

My preclears throughout the years have had similar changes for the better. I not only saw it in their faces and actions, but in their personality and I.Q. test scores. And it can be seen in their success stories.

Auditing works.

It works because of the communication cycle. It works because we all have a time track filled with stress on it. That mental anguish can be relieved by talking about it with another, who listens intently and acknowledges them, without evaluation or invalidation. It works because these painful moments are held together like chains, and the first incident holds the later similar ones in place. It works because the auditor plus the preclear are greater than the reacitve mind. It works because the thetan can as-is mental energy and see the truth where lies existed before.

It doesn’t work because I say it does. It works by actual improved change in personality and IQ test scores. It works by evidence of changed lives for the better.

It is my hope that people leaving the church don’t invalidate the wins and gains they got while in Scientology. And for them to know that LRH tech is available to them outside the church, free of Miscavige alterations. There are undoubtedly some who had floating needles missed, who were subject to unwarranted sec checks and put on endless eligibility cycles, who were given unnecessary ethics programs, who were put on unnecessary auditing actions, who were invalidated on their Clear status, who were told they needed to pay tens of thousands of dollars they couldn’t afford.

Well, that’s all cancelled. They can get pure LRH tech and have their wants handled.

The tech truly does work when used with good heart, good skill and honest application.

After the Metering Course one of course progresses onto the Golden Age of Tech drills. These drills had different instructions when they first came out. The deal was, if you messed up on the drill, you had to look for and find a misunderstood word EVERY TIME. This was such an arbitrary. Drills on flying a single rudiment would sometimes take days.

Some of the drills were quite tough, but I enjoyed a few of them. Patter drilling the axioms to the wall on the Briefing Course was memorable, as you had to really grasp the axiom to memorize it. It took a while, but it gave a whole new understanding once you made it. Another good one was the investigatory drill, where you pull strings on the pc’s answers during a withhold pulling to get all the data.

Other drills were awful (some have since been revised.) The session scenarios were so unreal. On the most advanced drills we had to do the drill perfectly (no stumble, no stutter, no missed read, all correct sizes of reads, correct meter steering, etc.) for an hour and a half. If you flunked, you still had to finish the script before going back to the beginning. People would go into tears on that drill, and many fights with twins would occur over a flub (“Yes you did” “NO I DIDN’T!!”) These drills were very tough. Some of them had the coach pretending to try and blow the session, throw the cans at the auditor, roll around on the ground, and scream.

The drills end up making a robotic auditor. I was able to escape this effect because of thousands of hours in the chair prior to doing them. But the new guys were coming out full on robots, and the pcs often did not feel comfortable with them.

It was obvious the program was a failure, yet onward with all the promotion anyway. All those “We will make you a PERFECT auditor. PERIOD.” signs were total P.R. It became very obvious to me that Miscaviage lacked any humility, as he couldn’t admit he found a Wrong Why and had developed an off-Source solution to boot. He took a simple idea LRH mentioned of having some drills for various auditing procedures and he made a big mess.

Further, he made the Snr C/S post very untenable with a binder full of “Golden Age of Tech” administrative programs to get done that were impossible to complete. Stupid program targets like inspecting that the Student Hat drill binders were free of dust would get rejected as a program because the stats in the Academy were not up the week of submission. Then I would be telexed every day demanding compliance. Meanwhile, red tagged folders needed a Folder Error Summary, a pc was waiting to go in session, an auditor needed cramming, the reg needed a repair program written, and somebody needed me for a drill in the Academy. What do you do, service the public, or go do stupid program targets for RTC and management that don’t even belong on the case supervisor’s lines? Yet ethics was considered out if the targets weren’t getting done. I hated those programs, I would like to burn that binder if I still had it.

I was actually the first Class VI Golden Age of Tech case supervisor on the planet. At the time this was a big deal, but now I look back at the whole package that is the G.A.T. and just shake my head. There are bright spots to the G.A.T. training, but overall it’s too long a runway, and full of inapplicable drills that bog a student down. Also, importance is stressed on the wrong things and the student gets the wrong idea of what the ideal scene is for a session. It is NOT checking 15 buttons on the “earlier similar problem” question, staring at the meter looking for an F/N, asking for a m/w/h 59 different ways, or constantly having to wrestle the pc back into the chair.

The other startling thing was how arrogant the new Class IVs were. It had all gone to their head they were perfect, and it took a long time to get through to some of them that it was their robotic TRs and inability to audit the pc in front of them (and not a lifeless doll) that was ruining the session. Yet these were “perfect” Golden Age of Tech auditors. Davey’s G.A.T. is an epic FAIL. But if you dared imply anything remotely like this, trouble!!!

I wrote DM while on my post and expressed the trouble some students were having with the Metering Course, specifically the dating drills. I went over some LRH references and pointed out this was a skill not needed at the lowest levels of auditing. He wrote me back, and said I had “bought the problems the students are making in the courseroom” and that the drills were necessary. He told me to go into the courseroom and correct their TR 1 and metering. The course is still slow and a bottleneck to this day. It was never an LRH course to begin with.

The only thing many of those new auditors were perfect at was throwing the pc out of session with robotic TRs, distractive metering, and a lack of understanding of how to audit. They thought since they knew the drill script so well they could handle any scenario. Little did they realize how varied a session can be and what can go wrong. I had to re-train the auditors that came back from Flag, when it was supposed to be vice-versa.

Training was best at Flag when RTC was off the lines and out of the way. The best coaching comes from good coaches, and no script or drill binder can replace it. Flag has some very caring tech staff that know how to make good auditors. They got invalidated all to hell and many were taken off tech lines by DM. Those were good people. You see Class XIIs doing reg tours now, well most of those were the victims, to say nothing of the Class IXs, VIIIs and VIs.

“The blind are leading the blind” was a right Why, but only in the respect that David Miscavige is leading.

All right, so as these new scripts were coming out (this is before the actual Golden Age of Tech release) giving all these wild scenarios requiring over an hour of ruds with endless button checking and unlikely things like the pc blowing the session, DM threw a huge monkey wrench into the training line-up by adding the Metering Course.

When we did it it back then it was called The Flag Metering Program, and it was a total pilot, with new shit being thrown in now and then while on the course. We had to Method 9 word clear every book and issue that talks about the e-meter FIVE times. This was insane, yet we did it. Then we did every E-meter drill five times, including reaching and withdrawing from the e-meter for 2 straight hours and confronting the e-meter for another 2 straight hours. Five times. Then we had to pass an assessment video which was much trickier than the video pass required today. Every item on the list had to be called off, not just 10 or so like today.

Myself and many others spent over a year on that fricken course, 13 hours a day. A lot of outer-org trainees could not get through this course and were sent home, or blew. The added time it took to get through this course was always blamed on the trainees themselves. No outpoints were looked for like why someone would have to M9 something 5 times if he M9ed it correctly the first time, or why somebody would have to Reach and Withdraw from something for 2 hours, then do it again 4 more times. This is just for starters.

DM changed the drill instructions for the drills on finding a hidden date on the e-meter and as a result nobody could pass that damn drill. It took weeks and months in some cases. Students were faking passes to get out of doing that drill and this continues to this day. The huge outness here is that having to find a date on a pc is RARELY ever needed and you wouldn’t ever need to use it until Level 3 anyway, yet here it was being demanded to be done perfectly at the ealiest of auditor training.

And get this, after we finished the metering program, a whole new tech film on e-meter reads came out CANCELLING everybody’s idea of an instant read! DM himself introduced the film in the Fort Harrison auditorium, saying the reads on the film were mechanically placed at the exact right point with computer technology so as to show exactly when the read should occur. We saw the film and were in shock – many of the reads looked prior (before the word was spoken, not at the exact end.) I kid you not. Everybody was in shock. First F/Ns, and now he changed the definition of instant reads!

So all of that drilling and videoing of instant reads was pretty much worthless, because now Davey insisted that we were calling reads that were latent (too late), and not reads that were instant to what the auditor or pc said. This then meant tons of drilling and more videoing and b.s. to try to adhere to Dave’s ideas. All of this – the years spent on TRs and Metering, the changes to things like F/Ns and instant reads, the make wrong – was basically a low grade torture for someone who already had his basics in.

This is when CMO Paul Schobel, the guy who was supposed to be putting in these courses and getting Dave’s orders complied with to get students through, got nailed for false reporting. One of the Metering students turned in a video that had a read incorrectly marked, but everything else was perfect. Schobel went over the video with her, and asked her what she saw on the video. She pointed out her error, he gave her the paper back and had her correct it (instead of trying again and re-videoing,) and then he turned it in to RTC and the video passed. She coughed up the withhold later and he got booted back to Gold, and was never seen at Flag again.

RTC Reps themselves passed videos with errors on them to try to keep up with DM’s demands for NOTs auditors to be gotten onto auditing (and making lots of money – Flag sends a million bucks – or used to at least – to Davey EVERY week.) There is something very observable on the training lines at Flag with RTC there: when DM starts DEMANDING completions and progress, all the passes on videos and internships start occurring RIGHT THEN. Up to that point they are few and far between, with flunks on videos given for the silliest of things that had no relevance to the session. STOPS.

Many trainees failed to pass their internships because of the required video pass. They could not deliver a perfect session. They eventually were sent home, or blew. Yet these were supposed to be “perfect auditors” according to the Golden Age of Tech promotions. They always blamed the trainee, never the drills, never the tech being altered, no way. DM’s word is LAW.

Here is another example of the arbitraries from Miscavige: if it took four can squeezes to get a proper can squeeze, THAT’S IT, game over, you flunked. Never mind if the pc squeezed them harder or lighter and so it took four times to get it right, you suddenly had to conform to DM’s standard of three times to get the can squeeze, or it’s a flunk. This caused many failing videos.

Making it all the way through to a certified auditor there is a huge climb. Many don’t make it.

Concerning F/Ns, the amount of anxiety regarding calling F/Ns could be sliced with a knife.

The rules were:

1) Mis-call an F/N, you are automatically assigned Doubt. No exceptions.

2) Second time you mis-call an F/N, you receve a Comm Ev.

3) Third time you mis-call an F/N, you are RPFed/Declared.

Now imagine having a winning pc in front of you, bright and shiny from a nice cognition, moving her body around excitedly and disrupting the needle flow, but you being able to catch the unique float of the needle long enough to know she was F/Ning, indcating it to her, and then being given justice action for it as per above scale.

Cramming was basically dropped as a tool during this period. If you flubbed, you did ethics and drilling. Even after the line-up was fully released, there was no cramming for a long time. It was instead decided that everybody fell under this Why of “Insufficient drilling to attain perfection” and so were just put on the courses or made to re-do drills. Cramming technology became utterly lost, to say nothing of Key to Life and Life Orientation Courses (or Primary Rundowns after it) as part of training programs.

So, taking it back to where I left off, Red Tags were occurring more often than not. The post of Examiner went from the easiest post to hold to the most dangerous. People were booted off that post on a daily basis, and the people who could smile the best and the best looking who wouldn’t flub the calling of an “F/N” were searched for.

Young pretty girls had the most success and so were used for the most part. EVERY exam was video’d and watched by top brass, who were no longer doing their post duties but stuck in front of a TV monitor watching F/Ns at the Examiner all day long. Numerous terminals would look at the same exam when their was a dispute if the needle really did float.

Auditors who thought their pc F/Ned would find out later that no, it didn’t, and they had to take the pc back in session right away. PCs were in an uproar, wins were getting invalidated by this whole process, yet it was all assumed it was because of their prior “bad auditing to no F/N” earlier that was making so much trouble now. The word of DM could not be questioned, it became law and we were all subject to the new standard of what an F/N was.

Auditors were dropping like flies. The Captain herself (now blown – Debbie Cook) who is a Class IX was called into audit, as was CMO Paul Schobell and Art Webb. They struggled too and didn’t last. PCs were having trouble getting past the first step of the session, the rudiments.

A present-time problem would come up such as needing to call your spouse, then in order to get an “F/N” since the needle only swept around a couple times, despite the pc feeling ready to get on with the rest of the session, one would have to ask for an ealier and ealier similar problem, ending up going into past lives, all the way back to the ark and beyond.

Huge amounts of session time (keep in mind how much it cost, up to a 1,000 dollars an hour) were tied up in just trying to “handle” this present-time problem! PCs would then red tag and things snowballed. A tremendous amount of wasted time and unnecessary repair occurred, and pcs would introvert about why they are having so much trouble (the pc frequently blames himself.)

All this from the DM insertion of the huge arbitrary on what an F/N is. This resulted in the huge amounts of drilling “to attain perfection” which IS the “Golden Age of Tech.” Auditors didn’t know what to do when these F/Ns wouldn’t occur and the pc had no more answers, so all sorts of buttons were checked on the earlier similar question which just drove a pc into frustration. PCs were requesting auditor switches all the time.

As I mentioned Cramming became non-existent on the flubs, there were too many. Instead, you did your Doubt and Liability condition and DRILLED. Drilled all night. Since nobody had drilled this shit before of checking buttons and following up on meter reads during pc answers, it was “the blind leading the blind.” So we got these scripts given to us to drill, word for word, line by line. This led to all the binders and packs of the “Golden Age of Tech.”

The Wrong Why that further sank the Church of Scn – (1) Insider details

May 8

Posted by John Nonez in GAT | No Comments

The evolution that created the Golden Age of Tech starts a few years before its release. I was an outer-org trainee at Flag during the entire period. I will give some insider details on what was happening.

In 1993 Flag Service Org (FSO) had a big out-tech fiasco that was a typical example of David Miscavige (DM) being “overworked” and “the only one who can handle things.” Reportedly at a meeting in the CMO Int conference room with DM and many CMOI execs after DM returned to the base from the FSO (where he had been for several weeks), at the beginning of the meeting he turned to Ray Mithoff and said something like, “Ray, I could knock you right through the wall.” The implication was that the “out-tech” that DM had found at the FSO was appalling and Ray, as IG Tech, should have handled it or not let it get that way.

I was at FSO when the fiasco was happenning. John Eastment arrived from Int and took over the Snr C/S FSO post. Interrogatories went out to all tech terminals and trainees, O/W Write-ups were ordered and Knowledge Reports were demanded on any out-ethics known about. It was martial law.

DM then ordered everybody onto Pro TRs. This was ridiculous and it didn’t matter if you were doing just fine as an auditor or had pcs interested and willing to talk to you, etc. or not. It was just a big generality that nobody had their TRs in and had to re-do the course.

Then, a course that should take 2 weeks, Pro TRs, took a year to complete, with all tech staff and trainees struggling to get a video passed. Videos would have to go through Paul Schobel and then up to the RTC Rep Sue Wilhere or Angie Trent and then up to DM for final pass. This line was slower than an injustice appeal line. Weeks and weeks would go by, only to come back “Your TRs are robotic.”

People were broken on that course. It was suppressively run (surprise.)

DM was looking in on sessions with the look-in system at the Fort Harrison at that time and he found flagrant mis-metering, namely F/Ns that didn’t exist were being called.

I’m not talking about one or two sweeps being called an F/N, people were calling dirty needles F/Ns.

DM would confront these auditors as soon as they came out of session with ferocity and throw water on them and tell them they are dry, saying that was what it felt like to be told your needle is floating when it isn’t. He was furious.

Tech staff were woken up in the middle of the night and bussed down to the Internship to drill metering. A whole fiasco and utter confusion occurred on the entire base. A tech meeting was called and when asked if anyone knew for sure what an F/N was, no one raised their hand.

Everyone was confused, because now DM was enforcing a whole new standard of what an F/N is. A whole parade of red tags followed, and not only that, they WEREN’T coming off with subsequent sessions.

For the first time in FSO history sessions were going unrepaired over 24 hours because the pc wouldn’t F/N at the examiner after the sessions. Some of these pcs were going a week red tagged and FSO was losing its stats each day for the entire HGC as a result.

Unusual solutions got implemented to interview the pc and try to get an F/N, then other actions got put in like searching interviews for any psyche background or suicidal thoughts, etc. and finding that they were illegal pcs or non-Flag public and having them routed off still red tagged (but it would be off the books this way and stats could be counted.)

This was a period of total chaos on tech lines. DM was RPFing or declaring Class XIIs left and right, Comm Evs were flying, Doubt conditions were assigned for any mis-called F/N, even if it was an accident.

Suddenly the job of auditing had become a dangerous job.

Life-changing Class VI Internship

May 8

Posted by John Nonez in Training Wins | No Comments

Only a few days into the HGC I was given a very resistive case to audit. Flag is the last port of call for cases not making good gains and back in ’94 when I was on this internship, they were more lenient about who qualified to come on the base. This was prior to the Lisa McPherson debacle and other flaps.

A pc I will call Betty had stacks of pc folders and a really rocky history in auditing, as well as a tumultuous staff record. She had come to Flag before, but had continued to roller-coaster and be a source of constant conflicts. She had been off staff for years, but had various complaints about the orgs she had been at, various upsets with other public and staff, etc. She also had a serious weight problem.

The Senior C/S A. Kartizinski programed her folder, and the D of P assigned me to be the auditor. I looked at the folder, and the pc had been programed for something she had never gotten before to address her roller coaster: False Purpose Rundown auditing. Prior to this she had many failed PTS handlings, and the Senior C/S spotted that it was the pc’s own unhandled bad intentions that were causing the trouble.

The D of P informed the pc she would be going in with a Class VI, and she refused, saying she must have a Class VIII. The D of P handled her by saying I was very, very good, and that she would get more auditing this way than with another auditor. She also told her she would assign a Class VIII if there was any problems. To this, she agreed.

As I took her to the auditing room and sat her down, she warned me that she would request a Class VIII if there were any difficulties, and that she can’t stand to have F/Ns misssed on her. I acknowledged her and started the session.

This pc had a marked change as soon as we started the hatting on her next action, FPRD. The data on evil intentions causing self-restraint and loss of power really indicated to her. It was as if LRH was describing her life when he talked about thetans being basically good but having contra-survival intentions that prompt overt acts, and that these fettered the being and prevented real happiness. She read the hatting with total interest, and I knew we would be in for a ride.

I asked her the first question “Do you have a back-off on handling some area of your life?” and followed the procedure. We ran an overt chain back to basic, into a far away past life. We then found the underlying evil purpose, and the pc had a huge win. We were off and rolling.

The pc continued to run well in subsequent sessions. I had never heard such severe overts before, particularly on the whole track chain it went down. We were definitely on the right action.

One particular session was truly life changing for her and I will never forget it. We had taken a very heavily burdened overt chain back to basic, and she found a very fundamental evil purpose underlying it, “TO STOP.” We then located the prior confusion and the pc had a HUGE cognition that she had been dramatizing this purpose all her life, and that she had been stopping herself from stopping.

The pc had a release of emotion (tears of relief) for 30 minutes. I did not move or say anything during this time. She had her head down.
When she finally came up and looked at me, I tell you, for the first time, that thetan was truly there in the room with me for the first time.
It was safe for her to be there. She no longer had to restrain herself.

We finished the rundown to a rave success. She re-joined staff shortly thereafter, and started training to be an auditor at Flag as part of her org’s Tech Training Corps. Her husband sent me a thank you card, and they sent me a tie, sweater, and book.

It was performing miracles like these that truly transformed my beingness. This is why my Class VI Internship was so life-changing.

I have more to tell about it, including the wild completing before 2 story.  Smiley

Class VI Auditor Internship

May 8

Posted by John Nonez in Training Wins | 1 Comment

I was looking over the entire period of starting up the Bridge to where I am now, and of course there are many moments of glory and success. I think the biggest training win came on the Class VI Auditor Internship, which I did at Flag.

Having finished the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, it was now time to step up to the plate and audit paying Flag public. This was at first quite intimidating to me, as I had only audited students and staff up to that point, and they received this at no charge. These Flag public were paying about 300 bucks an hour for MY auditing. I was still gaining experience and really settling into my auditor beingness, and yet here it was time to step into the Flag HGC.

The changes in me began very quickly. Having to get High Crime Checkouts (these are star-rate checkouts on key LRH references as well as word clearing and drilling) in the Qual Internship turned into a whole new level of understanding of how to audit. There were highly trained auditors and C/Ses doing the checkouts with me, and they coached me to a whole new level of skill. The Intern Supervisors knew their business, and demanded total PROFESSIONALISM. I of course wore a jacket and tie, all grooming in, etc. That is the first thing a pc sees, and pcs decide right then if this is someone who can do something for them, or not.

I got my Qual Okay to Audit and proceeded to the HGC, which the Tech Division guys had been waiting for impatiently. Now they had another Class VI to audit their public, me, so there was a lot of urgency to get me going. I remember the excitement at getting my very own auditing room in the Fort Harrison. It was impeccably clean, with an oak desk and bookshelf. There was Auditor Services in-charge who made sure my room had everything it was supposed to per the checklist for setting up a session, and filled my files nightly with any needed correction lists. If I needed a Nerve Assist table, I just had to call him and it would be in my room in five minutes. I had everything I could need as an auditor, and each room even had its own bathroom.

My first pc was a Clear on his OT Preps. I looked at the folder, and it was to assess and handle a C/S 53. I began to feel nervous. What if I didn’t get any reads? What if the pc complains about me? Every auditing room had hidden cameras – what if I miscalled an F/N or instant read? I was beginning to feel queasy.

The D of P told me to hurry up and that I had been taking too long to study his folder. It was time to take the pc in session. I got introduced, gave him a firm handshake, and pretended that this was all very routine to me.

I sat the pc down, went through the pre-session routine, and started the session. I gave him an R-Factor that we were going to assess a prepared list, and now the big moment had come to assess the C/S 53.

I assumed the best Tone 40 intention I could muster, and assessed the list.

Suddenly, only partially into the assessment, the pc said for me to stop. My life flashed before my eyes, and I thought I was in for some critique the likes of which one would sometimes get in an Academy from some coach who just had to have everything just right to get a read.

But no, he had something else to say.

“Your TRs are amazing, I just went exterior!” Big F/N, VVGIs.

End of session.

That was the beginning of an incredible cycle of action – my Class VI Internship.

There is so much more to write about it. I’ll get to writing more about it soon.
