6204C19 SHSpec-134  Gross Auditing Errors

     If a few sessions go by with no TA Action, one should assume that
something very gross is going on.

     The oddity of scientology is that the textbook solution works, unlike any
other field or previous practice.  In practically every other subject, the guy
on the job is meeting up with situations that aren't covered in the textbook.
Rut in scientology, it is when you depart from the textbook solution that you
get in trouble.  This flies in the teeth of all one's past experience, so you
tend to approach the solution with a little variation and deviation.  Every PC
is individual, and all his originations are different from every other
individual's, but what the auditor does is always the same.  If the auditor
departs from the textbook solutions, he is asking for trouble.  Auditing takes
no imagination to speak of, no unusual solutions, just a good ability to
communicate.

     The best of auditors goof at times.  The commonest mistake is not
realizing that when the PC has said it, it is blown, and taking up all the
PC's answers or origins for further discussion.  Such auditors underestimate
the power of 2WC.  The auditor should assume, especially in ruds, that it has
blown until he tests it on the meter and finds differently.  He should
acknowledge well what the PC says, because that is part of the blow
mechanism.  If the auditor goes on to take it up, it keys the PC in again.
When you acknowledge it, look pleased and relieved that it is all handled.  If
it still reads, give it only as much time and attention as is needed to slip
it out of the way, using same brush-off process.  If you are unlucky enough
not to have the process work, you must have been doing something else.

     By giving a flawless session, the auditor can hold the ruds in.  Anyone
can make goofs, but they shouldn't be frequent, since we want the PC to be
confident.  Confidence is a result of auditor consistency.  Ruds on the
environment will stay in if the auditor is consistent about the auditing
environment.  The PC's confidence drops when you Q and A or act
inconsistently.  The result is difficulty of keeping ruds in.  I.e. lack of
consistency leads to lack of confidence, leads to ruds going nut.  A PC
notices the care that is taken with him.  This aids in building his
confidence.  He gets unconfident if each session is full of surprises and the
auditor keeps changing things around.  If you keep having to use middle ruds,
it is probably something you did during the session.  Even a very nervous PC
can gradually come to realize that the auditor won't permit anything to happen
to him during the session.  He will permit the auditor to be responsible for
the environment.

     Checking on those pcs who were getting no TA disclosed the fact that,
while TA doesn't necessarily take place just because ruds are in, if rudiments
are out, TA will not take place.  This means that TA is proportional to the
degree ruds are in, not to the state of the case.  That is monitored by what
is being run on the case, to be sure, so the truth of it depends on the fact
that the right process is being run.
