Using Class II goal finding skills as released, any Class II Auditor may employ them to find goals. Running the goal found on -Routine 3 processes is not authorized for Class II Auditors. This authorization is based on the following technical discoveries: 1. It is highly beneficial to a case to have-goals finding processes run on it, regardless of whether a goal is found or not; - 2. The only danger in finding a wrong goal lies in running it; 3. The public at large can understand and respond to the finding- of a basic purpose; 4. I have made a breakthrough in expediting the finding of goals. 5. The longest period in clearing is now Goal Finding. Any goal found may be Prepchecked by a Class II Auditor using standard prepchecking. No goal found may be run on Routine 3 processes by a Class II auditor. Any goal found must be checked out by a Class IV Auditor. A correct goal may be run on Routine 3 processes by a Class III Auditor under the supervision of a Class IV Auditor. CLASS II AWARD Class II may be awarded by reason of attendance and satisfactory completion of an Academy Course specifically designated for Class II or satisfactory work in an HGC. CLASS III AWARD A Class III may be awarded to auditors satisfactorily completing an advanced Academy Course and satisfactory work under staff contract in an HGC. SAINT HILL AWARDS Class III and N awards are given to Saint Hill graduates who satisfactorily complete their training for these classes. LRH:dr.rd L. RON HUBBARD Copyright ($) 1963 by L.

Modernized material on this subject is now being released. A Revised Curriculum for Academies places in the hands of the HCA/HPA the fundamental skills of auditing as follows: 1. The CCHs 2. Self Analysis version of ARC Processes (for training auditing practice) 3. The Time Track 4. ARC Straight Wire Modern Version 5. Withholds 6. Dating by meter 7. Locating and Indicating By-Passed Charge 8. Engram running by Chains 9. Routine 3N 10. Programming Cases In addition it is expected that the common academic subjects be retained such as Model Session, Scales, Axioms, the E-Meter, etc. However, it is clearly visible that no auditor would be worthy of the name if he or she did not have the above listed skills at his or her command. All other types of processing may be dropped. LRH:gl.rd L. RON HUBBARD Copyright ($) 1963 by L.

Research-wise O.T. is wrapped up. It's just a matter of getting the data out, getting it applied. The Track is complicated. The length of time in processing is long. But this is offset by the fact that IF YOU GET CONSISTENT TA ACTION THE CASE WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE O.T. ORGANIZATION OF SUBJECT I am dividing Scientology data into five levels and I think you will see the usefulness of this. - FIRST LEVEL: SCIENTOLOGY ONE Useable data about living - and life, applicable without training, presented in Continental Magazines and booklets. This is for anyone. It contains assists as its auditing level. You have much of this already around. It is a complete unit in itself. "Be Right With Scientology." SECOND LEVEL: SCIENTOLOGY TWO Academy HPA/HCA accomplishment level. Scientology for use in spiritual healing. This is a healing strata, using the wealth of past processes which produced results on various illnesses. I am shortly sending out questionnaires to get all Healing process results as a research project. The auditing level is Reach and Withdraw and Repetitive Processes. The target is human illness. We have never entered this field but as we are not thanked for staying out of it, we might as well dominate it. It is a good procurement area. THIRD LEVEL: SCIENTOLOGY THREE Clearing and O.T. preparatory levels including advanced auditing above HPA/HCA Level. The work on this was more or less suspended when it became obvious that O.T. had to be attained. Includes key out, clearing and other sub O.T. states. However, much technology exists on it. This is the level of the better human being. FOURTH LEVEL: SCIENTOLOGY FOUR Processes to O.T., Saint Hill Special Briefing Course 1963 type technology and targets. FIFTH LEVEL: SCIENTOLOGY FIVE Scientology applied at a high echelon to social, political and scientific problems. This requires the earlier levels and a high state of training on theoretical and wide application levels. Data for levels one to four is mostly already researched, most of it is in your hands and many publications already exist. Level Three needs a lot of codifying but is not difficult to assemble. You'll see a lot of Level One now from me for magazines and a lot of new booklets using older materials. Level Four is more or less complete, more so now than three. This brings a lot of order to our technical and gets us past the "past lives" 344 scramble and other points which slow dissemination by relegating these to upper levels. Lord knows we have enough fascinating data at Level One without feeding the public Level Four. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE We are neating up the corporate structures of Scientology, using each org as a company whose majority shares are owned by a central company. This makes the structure easier to handle and better off for tax purposes. The instructions on this will soon be released. Shares and Life Memberships-will all be properly adjusted. ORGANIZATIONAL ATTITUDE Finding exactly who we're up against on Earth (the A.M.A.) helped. But finding exactly what each one of us faces and how in the Between Lives Area bids for a change of mood. We're not now in this for play. Our personal futures depend on keeping going and making no major flubs. It isn't a question of is there something else. There isn't, Nobody can be half in and half out of Scientology. Scientologists are Scientologists no matter what they do for a living. If we're going to make this we have to work at it personally, administratively and as a group and work well. The prize is regaining self and going free. The penalty for our failure is condemnation to an eternity of pain and amnesia for ourselves and for our friends and for this planet, If we fail we've had it. It's not just a matter of getting killed. It's a matter of getting killed and killed and killed life after life forever more. Even if you have no great reality on this now you will soon enough. But probably you already understand it. Those guys up there mean business. We've got to match or better their energy level and dedication or we lose. We've been given this priceless chance. We must make good. The hour lost on natter, the slow down time because of some petty ARC Break have to be salvaged. We haven't any time for doubts and maunderings. We're the elite of Planet Earth, but that's only saying we're the not quite gone in the graveyard of the long gone. Somehow, despite our condition and the degraded environment we're in, we've got to keep the dedication and the guts to carry through no matter what comes. And carry through. And that's our future. L.

This consists of the same TRs as the real Comm Course but run without the coaching flunking. The TRs were released in London after 1956. Naturally this may not be put in on students already in the 0 course at the time this is received but may be begun on the next students to enrol on that course the first Monday after this is received. Itsa, with its premature acknowledgements has not been successful in making good auditors. What is needed is auditors who will run processes without dawdling or changing the commands or changing the process because the pc had a somatic. Auditing worked better when we didn't train pcs to itsa for hours on one command. We used to do much better on repetitive commands. It was how many commands were answered per unit of auditing time that made cases gain. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:wmc.rd Copyright ($) 1965 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 346 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 16 MAY 1965 Issue III Remimeo Students TECH DIVISION ACADEMY COURSES GENERAL REMARKS ZERO COURSES HUBBARD RECOGNIZED SCIENTOLOGIST On all new check sheets of Zero Courses, include the following on both the (Theory) Certificate Course and the (Practical) Classification Course: 1. E-Meter Tone Arm. 2. Analysis of Case Condition by Tone Arm. 3. HCO Policy Letter of Apr 2, 1965 and (on Classification Course) drills for same. TRS WITH METER All Academy TRS will now be done with an &Meter before the student and his coach holding the cans, whether the Meter is being used or not. AUDITOR'S REPORT All Academy TRs and auditing for supervisor inspection must have an Auditor's Report form close to the student's hand, whether kept or not. Materials on how to keep an Auditor's Report must be included on both Zero Courses (Certificate and Classification). If a report is actually written during the drill or session the student must be made to put it carefully in a folder and file it. This is all part of his training. FIRM POLICY A student must be trained only with the tools of his trade to hand. Therefore in an Academy the Supervisor must not omit what an auditor actually uses in sessions whether it is covered in the levels training or not. This therefore includes a card table, a ball point, as well as a Meter and a "preclear" and an Auditor's Report. Do NOT let a student be trained with the tools absent. In upper levels the unfamiliarity of the tools causes them to stumble. Academies may not supply Meters or give away Auditor's Report pads, work sheets or ball points. If no Meter is available use a similarly coloured and shaped box with a dial painted on it and cards and cans attached and urge the student to get a Meter. The Academy furnishes card tables and chairs. An Academy must not use solid desks or solid tables in training as they are too hard to move about and too expensive. 347 ZERO VOCABULARY The 13 word Vocabulary belongs in the Beginning Scientology Course. A Zero student is expected to learn all common Scientology words in current use up to the number of 200. ZERO CERTIFICATE COURSE A student is supposed to study evenings and week-ends during the day-Zero Certificate Course-and any day-Certificate Course. The evening student is supposed to study on week-ends during the Evening Certificate Course and evenings on the Week-End Certificate Course. Those not so studying must be reported to Ethics. Supervisors must assign what is to be studied off course. This is true of all Certificate Courses. Classification Course students must frequent the Free Scientology Centre when not in class in those periods assigned to study in the Certificate Course. If not in action at the Free Scientology Centre, the student is expected to -be gathering his Auditor's Reports elsewhere for presentation to the Examiner as Examination is to occur at the exact end of the Classification Course completed check sheet, no matter when that occurs. EXAMINATIONS Zero Certificate Exams and all other Certificate Exams consist of verifying that the data was actually studied. ZERO CLASSIFICATION Exams are by written Exam and by inspection of the submitted auditing reports. Where there is not yet a Department of Review, the student who fails is returned to Course. It will be found however that this is a very catastrophic procedure and a Review Cramming Section should be instituted as soon as possible. When it is there, an Examiner never returns the student to Course but sends to Review. TWIN CHECKING Twin Checking proceeds with the slight change that the twins are not co- auditors, but may assist each other by auditing if they wish but not with regular sessions on Course time. Twins are for Theory Checking on the Certification Course and for Practical Drills on the Classification Course. Until all check sheets and materials are to hand the D of T must cope. Additions to a check sheet may be written in on old check sheets but not while the student is on it, and only for the next student to be given it. ZERO COURSE The basic point of Zero today is Find the Auditor. "Look at me who am I?" "Who would I have to be to audit you?" is the type of process that best defines the Level-Recognition.

It may modify HCA/HPA but not necessarily. What is good in an ACC is generally taught in HPA/HCA sometime. HPA/HCA is a tougher course by far and must prepare a student for all eventualities. Thus HCA/HPA must cover all types of processing and theory. Clearing a student is not the province of HCA/HPA. Teaching how to clear is the emphasis. If they get clear it's incidental. They're all auditors in HCA/HPA. LRH HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE 37 Fitzroy Street, London W.l HCO POLICY LETTER OF 27 NOVEMBER 1958 ACC RECORDS HCO now owns ACC records.

The procedure for dealing with ACC files is as follows:- Immediately at the end of the course, ACC Administrator turns over ACC Log and student's profiles to the local HCO Communicator, who forwards them immediately to ACC Conductor. When ACC Conductor has seen them they are filed permanently at HCO WW, Saint Hill. All other files and records are handed to the local HCO Board of Review. A definite date by which DScn/HGS requirements must be met in order to qualify for the degree from that particular ACC should be set by the ACC Conductor Chief Instructor and HCO Board of Review. It is the responsibility of the Chief Instructor to see that a date is set and approved by the ACC Conductor, and that the HCO Board of Review is informed. The local HCO Board of Review holds all ACC student folders and other ACC papers necessary to his job, doing whatever communicating, testing, correspondence, etc, that is necessary to the issuance of degrees and qualifications from that ACC until the final date set is reached. At this point, he completes his records and forwards all the files, materials and records from that ACC to HCO WW at Saint Hill. He may still receive some communications and correspondence from time to time. If so, he handles it if possible, or refers the matter to HCO WW,. Peter Hemery HCO Secretary WW for L.

The most likely prospects for "stand-by" students are those who are qualified for the course and waiting to take it, but are unable to pay for it. They attend all the lectures and hold themselves in readiness to fill in at a moment's notice. Unless they eventually pay for the course, they do not get the complete course. The Association Secretary (Org Sec) is usually the person best qualified to know What people are available and suitable to act as "stand-by" students.

RON HUBBARD HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 4 MAY 1960 CenOCon ACCEPTANCE FOR ACC AND ACADEMY COURSES It is now Policy that no students be accepted for an ACC or any other training course conducted by a Scientology Organization who have a chronic bodily condition for which they are under medical care and/or taking drugs. These students should be encouraged to take an Intensive at HGC until their condition is resolved and they are off drugs. The reason for this ruling is that, for example, on a recent ACC, the only two blow-offs have been (1) a student who was on 30 grains a night of Sodium Bromide, Chloral Hydrate and gentian and who sometimes took as much as 90 grains and (2) another student under drugs from her physician for a dropsical condition. This student was given only five months to live, five years ago, and was taking the ACC on her own risk. Cases such as the above need intensive auditing before attempting a course such as an ACC. A smoother gradient is indicated, and this could be done by getting the condition resolved through auditing first, before allowing the student on to the course.

On his return to Australia Peter will teach an Australian ACC based on the Johannesburg ACC. These ACCs will specialise in the following processes and data and all students will run on them. Presessions 1 to 37. All variations. Formulas 15, 13, 14 and 16. Regimen 3 using all the data contained in presessions 2 to 36. S-C-S and Connectedness will be used on all persons who had a hard run on the Formulas after these are flat and before sessions are run on Regimen 3. Assessment will be taught heavily to locate proper terminals for help before Regimen 3 is scheduled. Model Session and precise auditing will be stressed. I can guarantee that all cases will be stably started, some for the first time, due to our experience on the 1st Saint Hill and my research, and the application of Mary Sue as D of P, and the staff auditors of Johannesburg who for the first time in South Africa are moving all cases in the HGC. Tapes will be made of all my lectures. The South African tapes will be professionally recorded. The US tapes will be done on an Ampex. All copying will be done in Washington on Ampex pro machines. We have had a great technical win, first on the 1st Saint Hill and now on field and off-the-street pcs in South Africa (the roughest cases in the world according to our data). - Most of this data has been released. The technology of its use has not been entirely released and there is much to know aside from the bare data. There will be an early summer ACC in England taught at Saint Hill by Dick, Jan and myself. - L. RON HUBBARD LRH:des.js.rd Copyright ($) 1960 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 355 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 12 SEPTEMBER 1961 All HGCs All Academies CURRICULUM FOR CLEARING COURSES (Note: LA and Melbourne are to begin Special Clearing Courses at the end of this month. This gives data to be stressed.) (This data may be used in HGCs.) In the last DC and Melbourne courses, goals assessments were reported to be taking so long that very few goals were found in Melbourne and none in the DC course. This condition also existed elsewhere and on my very careful research, in all cases where goals assessment exceeded 150 goals, the actual goal was to be found in the first 150 goals given by the pc. Out rudiments had buried it. As soon as rudiments were put in, the goal reappeared, the terminal was found and all went off routinely. On all long, arduous runs on the goals terminal rudiments were out, a chronic PTP or heavy withhold had stopped clearing. Plainly, auditors are in a games condition on goals and prevent the pc from having one or attaining one. This and unreality on track is the probable source of all long or bad auditing. The general remedy for this is to flatten Routine 1A on all auditors, flatten the games condition process where the auditor won't let the pc win and get every auditor to have a reality on own track. Several cases have been found stalled on "treatment", the pc being wildly allergic to any and all "treatment" and thus taking forever to run. All bad auditing is done by auditors who have no reality on the track, and the then-ness of pictures. These are seeking to escape and thus pull the pc into escaping, whereas clearing lies in confronting. Auditors whose pictures flick in and out and who never linger are "out of valence" on the track or are otherwise seeking to escape. The remedy is to make such, as pcs, run pictures with unknown when found, not escape from them. Several lectures cover this. Q and A with the pc is entirely taking what the pc suggests or taking orders from the pc. One order taken from the pc by the auditor and bang, ARC breaks. This is the source of ARC breaks. ---------- All this and more is covered in the Saint Hill lectures of the last half of August and early September. The exact lectures are being listed and examinations prepared for them. This list and the examinations will be sent for these two courses. It is suggested that the students get at least two of these lectures per day. To make your students into auditors, skip the TRs in these advanced courses, relegating TRs to the Academy and Saint Hill. Instead, start the course cases as follows: Find if the pc has ever been "in himself" or herself in a picture. Unbury and run that picture with Unknown with this command: "What was unknown about that incident?" Keep the pc in the incident. 356 If the pc has never had a picture 3D in his own valence, run either or both of the following: "What was unknown?" and another process, "What unknown should you escape from?" "What unknown should you attack?" "What unknown should another escape from?" "What unknown should another attack?" These last two processes also handle problems, treatment and the other factors mentioned above and class as 1A processes. Omit Routine 2 out of all instruction. Rewrite your Pre-Hav Primary Scale to include all emotions from "serenity" to "hide". Include on the scale in the place of "No Motion", PROBLEMS. Include also UNKNOWN, FORGET, NOT KNOW. Add also DISLOCATE. Omit anything that is a brother to "No Motion". Include DENY. ---------- Get assessment going only when 1A is flat. IA can- be considered flat when Escape-Attack on Unknown produces no TA motion after this or other IA processes have been run. ---------- Get ordinary security checking going at once on HCO WW Sec Form 6. When students do this well, shift to the Not Know version of Security Checking on Form 3. Do the last two pages of Form 3 before the rest. ---------- In all auditing done on course (or in HGCs) get daily cross-checks on rudiments. Let a student (or in HGCs another auditor) check (but not run) the rudiments on every pc and point out to the pc's auditor those that are OUT. ---------- Let students sec check each other evenings, independent of days auditing, but make sure they know how it is done. Don't let them assess evenings. Do all assessment in class auditing time. ---------- Stamp ruthlessly on Q and A (auditor doing whatever the pc says). ---------- Arrange two 2Y2 hour auditing periods a day. ---------- Instructors check out any goal and any terminal found before letting it be run. ---------- A course completion depends on a student: 1. Doing a good Not Know version of Security Checking. 2. Finding the goal and terminal of a pc. 3. Doing a proper Pre-Hav Assessment. 4. Having Form 3 and a Form 6 Sec Check completed on self. 5. Passing a perfect exam on the book E-Meter Essentials plus Instant and Latent Read. 6. Getting a decent graph change on his pc or clearing. Any student clearing his pc on either course will instantly be awarded a D.Scn. Clear status must be checked out by HCO. ------------ Routine 1A consists of flattening problems (or unknowns) on the TA and completing a Not Know Sec Check, HCO WW Form 3. Routine 3 consists of' finding the goals and terminals of the pcs and doing any available Sec Checks. These two routines are the only routines to be used or taught on Special Courses at this time. 357 The processes to be used to clear rudiments are as follows (supposing the difficulty has been finally stated by PC): ROOM: TR 10 or pc's havingness process, run only until question about room produces no needle reaction. AUDITOR: What would you be willing to be? What would you rather not be? (Run TA motion out.) PT PROBLEM: (When pc has stated it and who) What is unknown about that problem with __________? (Run until needle no longer reacts on terminal, check any other PTP and run it as necessary.) WITHHOLDS: To whom wasn't that known? To whom shouldn't that be known? (Run until needle no longer reacts.) ARC BREAK: What didn't an auditor do? When? What weren't you able to tell an auditor? When? Alter Model Session Script to include the above. ----------- Limit two-way comm to asking what, where, when questions. ---------- SUMMARY Spend no course time trying to make auditors. Criticise blunders. But give no long lectures of any kind to the class. Just tell them what to do individually, exactly as above, and see that it gets done on an individual basis. In instructing, confront each student, one at a time. Don't worry about general confronts of the class, not even a seminar period. Tell the student to do so and so as above with his pc. Show him or her how to do it. Skip all extra ordinary solutions. Just use the above. Get a maximum of solid auditing done. Spread your teams as far apart as possible. Dispense with check sheet examination except on Saint Hill tapes. Make auditors by making them audit, if they goof, assume they have no reality on the track and get the student to confront his bank as above. Subjective reality alone can make an auditor. Routines IA and 3 alone can make clears. All auditor goofs stem from unreality. Reality is found a. By auditing and b. By familiarity with own bank and track. If an auditor on your course has already received HPA/HCA and any further training and still has no hang of it, you won't educate them to victory. They just don't have reality on the mind yet. See that they get it subjectively. And so teach them to make clears. L.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 359 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 26 NOVEMBER 1963 General Release BPI MA CERTIFICATE AND CLASSIFICATION CHANGES EVERYONE CLASSIFIED (Subject to last paragraph this Policy Letter changes all earlier Certificate Classification HCO Policy Letters, as of February 15, 1964.) Acceptance, requested change or objection to this plan should be airmailed to me at Saint Hill so that any necessary amendments can be issued before the effective date. If objections are minimal and acceptance general, this plan goes into full effect February 15, 1964, without further announcement and will remain the stable gauge of all training, processing, certifying and classification in the future. It is only possible to formulate this now that technology to OT is complete. ---------- Signalizing the discovery and refinement of all levels of processing up to and including the highest targets set in Scientology research, the following classification schedule has been developed. It is evident that 13 years of research developed many processes and styles of auditing and that these are all useful and necessary to the successful progress of cases. To open the road to everyone, it is necessary to have a precisely mapped course of progress. Experience shows that preclears entering too high into processes without adequate processing and training background at lower levels will fail. Technical data now makes it evident that a person not trained to run high level OT processes cannot receive successful case improvement on them and that it is dangerous to run an uneducated pc at high levels. This alone makes classification of preclears as well as auditors necessary. Even at lower levels it will be found that preclears, lacking training, do not advance well. Further it is economical to co-audit to higher levels. Therefore, without disturbing private or HGC processing commitments and yet placing these as well into these classifications for the protection of the preclear and auditor alike, the following rules are adopted and have the full force of policy. Effective February 15, 1964, auditors and preclears violating these policies will be subject to Committees of Evidence. 1. NO PRECLEAR MAY BE AUDITED ABOVE HIS OR HER CLASS. 2. NO AUDITOR MAY USE PROCESSES ON ANYONE ABOVE HIS OR HER CLASS. 3. A PRECLEAR MAY BE PROCESSED WITH- THE PROCESSES OF HIS OR HER CLASS OR WITH THE PROCESSES OF ANY LESSER CLASS. 4. AN AUDITOR MAY USE THE PROCESSES OF HIS OR HER CLASS OR ANY LESSER CLASS, BUT MAY NOT USE ON ANY PARTICULAR PRECLEAR ANY PROCESS ABOVE THAT PRECLEAR'S CLASS REGARDLESS OF THE AUDITOR'S CLASSIFICATION. Any HUBBARD CERTIFIED AUDITOR or HUBBARD PROFESSIONAL AUDITOR who holds the actual certificate may train any person to the level of HUBBARD APPRENTICE SCIENTOLOGIST and may further train to Class I and by application to the nearest Central Organization may have the person he has trained 360 certified or classified, for which application forms and certificates will be furnished by Central Organizations. A full Classification Chart will be published from time to time giving the requirements and processes of every level and concise text books and answer sheets are in preparation for every class. But absence of texts shall not preclude training or classifying so long as the materials are communicated, at least until such time as texts are complete and available. It readily will be seen that stress is being placed on co-audit at every class level. While no objection will be made to private pcs or HGC pcs, the above rules apply as to what the pc may be run on and a pc who fails to study for and attain his next classification levels will not be able to be processed at higher levels. Technical surveys demand these measures for the safety of preclears. Furthermore, training is far cheaper than processing in the long run. It will be found that auditing skill varies even within a class. It is true that an auditor receives no better processing than he gives if only for the reason that no one wants to co-audit with him or her when the skill is low. Therefore there is an incentive to be a very good auditor if only to receive good processing at any class level. These measures are dictated by a desire to have everyone make it and to leave a precisely marked roadway from the lowest to highest levels. It will also be found that auditors disseminate and purely preclears seldom do. A great many recent instances are to hand which not only demonstrate the impossibility of attaining the highest levels without training but also demonstrate the way cases are barred out at the lower levels through lack of training and Orderly forward programming up through the levels. The only case barriers now are failures to have experienced certain processes at lower levels which reduced the confusion of the environment, hidden standards, etc. For instance you cannot pull missed withholds on a preclear who has no concept of communication much less the definition of missed withholds. Unless we take this step and adopt classification for preclears as well as auditors, we will find ourselves continuously losing people off the road and halting our forward advance. The general Classification Chart Issue One is as follows: Class Process Types Certificate 0 Listen Style HAS I Listen Style, HAS Classed Assists R-1-C Principles of ARC, Dynamics II Repetitive Processes, HCA CCHs, Straight Wire, Tone 40 and Formal Auditing Axioms O/W III Prepchecking, Metered Processes, HPA Assessing Old "R2" and "R2H" IV Service Facsimiles, HCS ARC Break Assessments, Programming, Missed W/Hs V Implants, Engrams, Whole Track, HAA Whole Track Case Analysis VI OT Processes HSS Own GPMs Old R3 and R4 Processes VII Old Route One and Other HGA Drills 361 The certificate schedule HCO Policy Letter of August 12, 1963, is cancelled. The certificate Hubbard Book Auditor is withdrawn. The certificates Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist, Hubbard Clearing Scientologist and Hubbard Advanced Auditor are reinstated. HCA and HPA are both given international standing but now are different classes. The rules of processing apply to CLASS not to certificate. A certificate may have almost any lower class stamped on it. It is the classification not the certificate that permits use of processes or being run on processes. While under actual training for the next class a preclear may be run on those processes. But to be under training for the next class one must have been classified for the immediately preceding class. One cannot enter training for the next class, regardless of the certificate held, unless classed for the earlier class. Each class has its theory, practical and auditing section. Each process has its Basic Auditing, Technique and Case analysis for that class. It is envisioned that training courses be brief and precise and require exact levels of attainment as to theory, practical and auditing requirements. Every effort is being made to handily assemble this data for each class, although all of it already exists in various forms such as books, bulletins and tapes. A more expansive Classification Chart is nearing completion. Stress in any course is 50% on auditing, 50% on case gain. It is not expected that a person will be allowed into the next class until the processes of the previous class have been flattened on him or her. ---------- Maximal attention will be paid in the enforcement of this policy to circumstances surrounding persons who have long been in Dianetics and Scientology. For these a special class is being created saluting their long presence in Dianetics and Scientology and permitting the use of processing as auditors and preclears up to a reasonable class level in keeping with their experience, successes and case advance, the only proviso being that actual case advance has been obtained and that their cases are not impeded by having failed to benefit from a certain lower level. Classification changes and upgrades will not, however, be attempted above the Class IV of the above chart and any Class IV now awarded may be upgraded in special cases only to Class V. No classification for Class VI is now obtainable except by training and no actual GPMs may be run by any auditor until the full technology is released and re-classification is earned. This is due to the numerous upsets at this level (VI). Classes V, VI and VII may only be awarded at Saint Bill. Classes 0 to IV inclusive may be awarded by Central Organizations. Classes 0 to I may be awarded by HCAs or above by application for, not of rights to award, but for certificate and class to HCOs of Central Organizations. The right to award HAS and Classes 0 and I are inherent in holding a valid HCA or HPA certificate. Note: If any pre-1960 auditor feels confused about his class, he or she need only honestly answer the question, "What processes do I do very successfully and get good results with and do I succeed on myself as a case?" and that will serve as a good gauge of what -class that auditor should have in order to go forward on the charted course to OT with maximum gain and minimal upset.

HCA is restored to Level III in the table and HCA is ranked as the U.S. version of Commonwealth HPA. HCA/HPA is the Certificate at Level III. At Level II HCA is replaced by "Hubbard Qualified Scientologist" initials HQS. Mark it so in table. Change the rights to train to HAS and to give Class I to "All auditors including and above Hubbard Qualified Scientologist". The Academy course envisioned for the HQS is the old one month Comm Course Upper Indoc HCA/HPA course. Both Comm Course and Upper Indoc are however taught in one week. At the end of this course the student will be given his or her certificate. At the end of this course however, the student is not given Class II. The student is now qualified to train to HAS and Class I and to use and be audited on Class II materials since he or she is in training for Class II. When the student feels ready, he or she may take their Classification examination for Class II. No additional training may be sold this student by an Academy until the student is Class II, and no additional Class H course may be given this student. The cost of the original HQS course is envisioned as £35. It may not be priced above this figure anywhere. The cost of an HAS course is envisioned as not more than £5 where it is charged for and the Class I course for HAS Class I is envisioned as an additional course costing no more than £10. Any auditor from HQS up may teach and charge for HAS courses and HAS Class I courses. There is no restriction on auditing fees charged by auditors or HGCs. Charges for co-audit unit attendance are - at discretion. In short it is envisioned that a person may receive his HAS from any auditor HQS or above, or from any Scientology Organization, and similarly may receive his HAS Class I. These HAS and HAS Class I courses are envisioned as evening or weekend courses. The only restriction is that failure to train well before awarding can result in a Committee of Evidence for the trainer. Any HAS Class I may take his or her HQS course at any Academy, will be certified on completion and will be given Classification Examination for Class II at a future date without further formal training. It is necessary to have been classed as Class II before being permitted to take an HCA/HPA course at Level HI. Academies will teach the HCA/HPA course with Level III materials. The course is envisioned as 2 months in length and its cost about £78. Classification arrangement is similar to HCA/HPA. It is not envisioned that people taking HAS or HQS or even HCA/HPA courses are making a career out of Scientology. They are expected to keep on working at their 364 jobs. This must be stressed. There is no effort to follow medical-psychiatric practitioner patterns and have offices. There is an - effort to work evening and weekends running small organizations of co-audits. The effort is to make Scientologists, not have "patients". This dictates the length of the HQS course as people can seldom get off work for more than a month. This does not interfere, however, with someone working full time in Scientology. Cost and length of courses rise somewhat as they increase in Class as the increased ability of the student, if well processed. on classification level processes, commonly brings him or her more income and leisure. The intent of this programme is to (1) Open the road for everyone (2) Provide wider dissemination (3) Guarantee an increase of knowledge to keep pace with increase of ability (4) Provide the cheapest possible processing (5) Regulate processes by Class Level to guarantee a more real advance (6) Steer around rough spots found in the past in technical, administrative and personal areas. There is no effort to decrease the income or present activity of any auditor or organization but only to widen the sphere of action. LRH:dr.rd L. RON HUBBARD Copyright ($) 1963 by L.

The scheme will therefore go into operation as outlined. Some objections have been made on the grounds that certain auditors, or certain preclears, might be prevented from progressing further in Scientology. Such individual problems can be ironed out. The purpose of the policy is to enable everyone to progress through the levels in an orderly fashion and to ensure that many more individuals have the opportunity to reach OT. - - I hope that most of your immediate objections will be removed by HCO Policy Letter of February 5, 1964, Founding Scientologist Certificate. This implements the "Old Timers Clause" which appeared in the original Policy Letter. By sending in your application you will have the right to processing (or auditing if you are qualified) up to Class IV. Thank you for your help in the past. You can help in the future, too.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 365 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE, Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 23 FEBRUARY 1964 Central Orgs Franchise Field CLASSIFICATION The final shape of Classification Policy, now that opinions are in, some of them belated, is as follows: Auditors will be Classified from I to VI as in the original issue. In response to numerous field requests, the original issue is changed as follows: Preclears will be separately Classified, Levels I to VI. Classification will be on the basis of processes flattened. Each level will have certain basic processes to be accomplished. Preclear Classification will not be by certificate but by a specific log book issued to the preclear and signed by his auditor as each process is flattened and a level completed. Technology now permits this to be effective and it will prevent case failures. The same log book will be issued to auditors and they too must attain their own preclear level to compare with certificate. Certificates and current classes to be valid until 1 July 1965. Classification of auditors and preclears effective date is extended to 15 April 1965. The processing log books will be issued before that date. The log book also applies to Co-Audits. Founding Scientologists' Certificate issues are going forward, allowing up to Class IV for trained auditors and Class IV for preclears. The actual Certificate must be possessed by the individual to be in effect. Fact of having been a Scientologist or Dianeticist for years gives no dispensation unless the Founding Scientology Certificate is in hand. HGCs and Saint Hill trained auditors may issue special dispensation to HGC preclears and their own personal preclears to temporarily raise their preclear class during certain phases of processing. Effective 1 June 1968 field centres duly established with Saint Hill Graduates may train to levels as high as IV and are permitted effective 15 April 1964 to train to HAS Class I and HQS Class II. On 1 June 1968 Central Orgs will be permitted to train to Classes V & VI, which until that date will only be taught at Saint Hill. Otherwise the basic policy letter is unchanged. A summary issue will be prepared and released. This policy has been formulated with the consultation and majority agreement of organizations and field auditors all over the world and is final. The effective date is now 15 April 1965. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:jw.rd Copyright ($) 1964 by L.

At once all comm lines must be utilized to emphasize that Classification means better case gains in the HGC as well as in the field. One gets processed out of a level by the HGC or field auditors as well as trained up from it. The HGC is there to get people's processing at the lower levels caught up in the quickest possible period of time. It can be done best at an HGC which can issue a processing clearance of lower levels and speed the person to higher classification levels. The Continental Mag should be issued to stress this at once. HQS as a course should be boomed. HAS should be stressed for the newcomer. Get bodies moving through the shop fast. Publicize the HGC well. Technically in the HGC stress to auditors processes that take care of In- Sessionness. What isn't the pc able to do to be completely auditable? Permit questions to be asked by the auditor? Accept the environment? Etc. Assess by session parts and use processes to remedy these things. Stress basic type repetitive processes and grant a right to be run on them to HGC pcs, to handle Level I, and clean up all Level H pc requirements. Get these flat on the pc. And you'll have wins, wins, wins. Inform the public of the new Case Supervisor and set him or her on duty. I designed classification to get maximum case gains for the pc and prevent pcs being given loses. Stress that in HGC propaganda. GPMs Issue publicly pcs do have their own goals and GPMs. The best way to get them run is to get graduated up through the levels. The Invalidation of the idea that a pc had his own goals was a severe blow. Invalidation of a pc's own GPMs, calling them implants, produces an instant ARC Break and physical repercussions. So correct this quick on Broad Public Interest (BPI), regardless of classification. SOLVE IT WITH SCIENTOLOGY If the Org slumps during this transition period, don't engage in "fund raising" or "selling postcards" or borrowing money. 367 Just make more income with Scientology. It's a sign of very poor management to seek extraordinary solutions for finance outside Scientology. It has always failed. For Orgs as for pcs "Solve It With Scientology". Every time I myself have sought to solve finance or personnel in other ways than Scientology I have lost out. So I can tell you from experience that Org solvency lies in More Scientology, not patented combs or fund raising Barbecues. FUTURE This Policy Letter though urgent should be no cause for alarm. Orgs are not going broke. They are however in a transition period to huge volume of action and it is costly to bridge. These immediate steps will prevent any slump, if swiftly taken. So take them. L.

Classification and Gradation 2. Certification 3. Franchise and Memberships 4. The Auditors Division of Saint Hill Certain parts of these policies have only just been formulated (such as Gradation) and will be more fully described in later issues. However, all the above affect each other, and this summary will show how they all dovetail into each other, providing a basis for an orderly, progressive framework for Scientology in its expansion all over the world. All these policies have only one basic purpose in mind-to enable all to follow a clearly marked road to freedom and OT. Three distinct routes are provided, one of which should suit the capabilities of any individual. These three routes are described in greater detail below. 1. CLASSIFICATION AND GRADATION The general outline of classification is now well enough known, and, with various modifications, has been generally accepted by all as a logical system of orderly progress in the knowledge and application of Scientology. There are now three ways to progress along the road: 1. The Preclear 2. The Co-Auditor 3. The Auditor (i.e. the Professional Auditor). Definitions: 1. The Preclear has achieved the gains, knows the why and parts of the processes and the underlying basics. No auditor performance or ability required. 2. The Co-Auditor is trained, can perform the process under supervision and has passed a non-professional examination on it. 3. The Auditor is professionally qualified in all respects in theory, practical and auditing at his particular level. Scientology is categorized into various Levels, numbered at present from 0 to VII-i.e. from the completely untutored public to OT (higher levels may be added later). Anybody who has progressed at all in Scientology can be said to have reached a certain level. The processes of Scientology fall into these levels also. And so on. To distinguish and differentiate between the attainments and attributes of the individuals who are following the three different ways, the following terminology is introduced: The Preclear Route Grade is the word now used to denote the level of attainment of a Preclear or Co-Auditor. 369 Class or classification is the word used to denote the level of attainment of a Professional Auditor. The words class and classification are reserved entirely for the Professional Auditor. Hence the revised nomenclature-Classification-Gradation Programme. Certificates may be awarded to Co-Auditors or Auditors-but classifications are awarded only to Auditors. The Preclear's progress is recorded in a logbook, which is filled in by his auditor (or auditors) as he progresses through the various levels and attains higher grades. His training is limited to just enough basics and education to enable him to obtain the maximum benefit from the procedures and processes of each level. This training is not done formally or in an Academy but may be imparted to him by a qualified auditor. It is emphasized that no certificates or awards are given to the preclear. The Co-Auditor Route A Co-Auditor progresses in a pair with another auditor of similar level, or in a group which is supervised by a qualified Professional Auditor. The level of attainment of a Co-Auditor is denoted by his Certificate. There is a certificate appropriate to each level, as below: I -- HAS II -- HQS III -- HCA (not HPA) IV -- HCS V -- HAA VI -- HSS VII -- HGA Note that, for Co-Auditors, there is no HPA (Hubbard Professional Auditor) certificate, only an HCA (Hubbard Certified or Certificated Auditor). A Co-Auditor is not permitted to charge fees for auditing. His certificate has no classification seal. In order to obtain the certificates, Academy training is necessary (except for HAS and HQS) but it is limited to definite periods. Successful completion of the course results in a certificate without further examination. A group co-audit may not be run by a Co-Auditor, only by a Classified Auditor. A Co-Auditor may transfer to the Professional Auditor level, but must then obtain all the necessary classifications of each level in turn. Professional Auditors may also co-audit-the group would then be called a Professional Co-Audit. The Auditor Route Professional Auditors qualify for the same certificates as the Co-Auditor (except at Level III the certificate is HPA, not HCA). They qualify for classification by further training and examination at each level. Their level of attainment is denoted by the appropriate certificate, and by a classification seal which is affixed to the certificate. The classification seal is a gold seal stamped with a Roman numeral to denote the level. Everybody has a preclear logbook and a preclear grade. The preclear has a logbook and grade. The Co-Auditor has a logbook and certificate. The Auditor has a logbook, certificate and classification. ---------- In token of appreciation of their support during the early days, any Dianeticist or Scientologist who was in the movement before 1964 will be awarded a Class IV honorary Classification or Grade IV upon sending an application to the Auditors 370 Division of Saint Hill, giving him or her the right to use all processes up to and including Level 1V if they were trained before 1964, and-the right to be audited on all processes up to and including Level IV if they were not trained. ---------- A comprehensive booklet on the Classification-Gradation programme is being printed and will soon be available for wide distribution, ---------- 2. CERTIFICATION It is intended that all certificates will be issued in effect by the Auditors Division of Saint Hill. - This is a new idea but one which was probably inevitable. - - - However, HCO Boards of Review must Continue their present system of issuing certificates until otherwise instructed. Full details of the changeover will be issued shortly, together with a date on which it takes effect. - 3. FRANCHISE AND MEMBERSHIPS A new look at Memberships has resulted in a new look at Franchise also. No radical change is contemplated in the basic idea of Franchise-i.e. the Franchise Holders will still be the most active and important professional auditors working in the field. However, instead of contributing 10% of his gross income to HCO WW, the Franchise Holder will now take out a special category of membership. Two different memberships for Franchised Auditors will be available: 1. Professional Membership 2. Consulting Membership. The Professional Member will pay an annual subscription of 15 guineas sterling ($45.00), in return for which he receives a certificate, a weekly mailing of bulletins by surface mail, "The Auditor" magazine monthly, and advice and information personally from the Franchise Secretary at HCO WW. The Consulting Member will pay an annual subscription of 45 guineas sterling (S135.00), in return for which he receives a Consulting Member certificate, a weekly mailing of bulletins by air mail, "The Auditor" magazine monthly, and also participates in a two-way consultation service with Saint Hill. He will receive fast attention and advice from Saint Hill on his preclears and other activities, and Saint Hill will consult with him on how he achieves his results and success. The whole Structure of membership is altered, the categories being as follows: 1. Associate Member. This is given, free of charge, to anyone, but if the recipient wishes he may pay 5/- for a card and Scientology pin. It is valid for life. Issued by all Scientology Orgs including the Auditors Division of Saint Hill. 2. Participating Member. This membership is available to anyone, on payment of 3 gns, ($10) per annum. It is sold by the Central Org, and entitles the person to participate in its services, and receive the Continental magazine. 3. International Member. This is available from the Auditors Division of Saint Hill only. It costs 5 gns (S 15.00) per annum. It entitles the holder to the same privileges and discounts as now, including the PAB magazine monthly. He also receives "The Auditor". The holder of a certificate of Level III and above must also hold an International Membership in order to keep his certificate in force. 4. Professional Member-available to Franchise Holders only, as stated above. Available from the Auditors Division of Saint Hill only. 15 gns (S45.00) per annum. 5. Consulting Member. The higher grade of Franchise Holder, as stated above. Available from the Auditors Division of Saint Hill only. 45 gns ($135.00) per annum. 371 All existing memberships will carry on until they expire. Existing Life Memberships - (or Shares in HASI Ltd) will be honoured, but no more of these are to be issued now or in the future. A separate Policy Letter will be issued shortly summarizing memberships and Franchise in more detail, and giving a date on which the changeover will take place. Until that date, the existing membership system will continue unchanged. 4. THE AUDITORS DIVISION OF SAINT HILL The Auditors Division of Saint Hill is being set up, as its name implies, to look after auditors and co-auditors and to give them certain services. The purpose of the Auditors Division is: To make all the auditors in the world well-trained, properly accredited, successful and ethical. The Auditors Division will do the following: 1. See that auditors and co-auditors obtain good training and give good processing. 2. Issue "The Auditor", the Saint Hill Journal for Auditors. 3. Set up Central Files at Saint Hill to keep records and correspondence of auditors throughout the world. 4. Encourage the orderly progress of auditors through the training levels, including their final enrolment on the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. 5. Encourage good training generally by advices and information to and from the Enrolment Divisions of Central Orgs. 6. Undertake the necessary administrative actions to ensure the efficient and speedy issuance of certificates and classifications of all levels throughout the world, and keep accurate records of all certificates and classifications. 7. Issue and administer all memberships of Saint Hill, and keep accurate records thereof. - 8. Maintain excellent Franchise services, via the Franchise Secretary WW. The Auditors Division of Saint Hill is interested primarily in Professional Auditors and Co-Auditors. Well, there it is, The new look at Scientology 1964. I hope you'll like it. Written and Issued by: Peter Hemery Org Supervisor WW for L. RON HUBBARD Authorized by: L. RON HUBBARD LRH:dr.rd Copyright ($) 1964 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 372 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 MAY 1964 Central Orgs SUMMARY OF CLASSIFICATION AND GRADATION AND CERTIFICATION (Amends earlier Policy Letters) This Policy Letter is a summary of current policy on Classification and Gradation and Certification, incorporating changes as mentioned in HCO Policy Ltr of April 22, 1964. The purpose of Classification and Gradation is to ensure that everyone is given the best possible chance to progress along a well-mapped road towards OT. To achieve this, three well-defined routes have been established-the Preclear Route, the Co-Auditor Route, and the Professional Route. The data and processes of Scientology have been categorized into seven Levels. Corresponding to these Levels, Preclears have a Grade, Co-Auditors have an appropriate certificate, and Professional Auditors have a certificate and a Classification. The rules of Classification and Gradation can therefore now be stated as follows: - 1. NO PRECLEAR MAY BE AUDITED ABOVE HIS OR HER GRADE. 2. NO PROFESSIONAL AUDITOR OR CO-AUDITOR MAY USE PROCESSES ON ANYONE ABOVE HIS OR HER GRADE. 3. A PRECLEAR MAY BE PROCESSED WITH THE PROCESSES OF HIS OR HER GRADE OR WITH THE PROCESSES OF ANY LESSER GRADE. 4. A PROFESSIONAL AUDITOR OR CO-AUDITOR MAY USE THE PROCESSES OF HIS OR HER CERTIFICATE OR CLASS, BUT MAY NOT USE ON ANY - PARTICULAR PRECLEAR ANY PROCESSES ABOVE THAT PRECLEAR'S GRADE REGARDLESS OF THE PROFESSIONAL AUDITOR'S OR CO-AUDITOR'S CERTIFICATE OR CLASS. Without disturbing private or HGC processing commitments, and yet placing these as well into these Levels and Grades for the protection of the preclear and auditor alike, these rules are adopted and have the full force of policy. Effective April 15, 1965, auditors and preclears violating these policies will be subject to Committee of Evidence. The word "Auditor" is used loosely to designate any person who is auditing a preclear, whether professionally or in a co-audit under expert supervision. However, it is understood that only a Classified Auditor is truly a professional auditor. Only a Classified Auditor is allowed to charge fees for professional auditing, either privately or in an HGC. Consequent upon this, Class I and Class II are abolished, since HAS and HQS are not professional auditor certificates. Level I has only a HAS (Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist) certificate. There is no Class I. Level II has only a HQS (Hubbard Qualified Scientologist) Certificate. There is no Class II. When a person holds a HAS and a HQS, he then takes the next course, which is now an HCA course, and confers a HCA (Hubbard Certified Auditor) certificate. At this point, the person may then decide to become a Professional Auditor. He or she then takes further training and then undergoes an examination for Class III. If successful, he exchanges his HCA certificate for a HPA (Hubbard Professional Auditor) certificate, sealed with a Class III seal. 373 On the other hand, the holder of a HCA (Level III) certificate may decide to proceed along the Co-Auditor Route. In this case, he would omit the classification training and examination, retain his HCA certificate, and train Only for higher certificates, without Classification. Thus, progress along the three routes is as follows: 1. The Preclear Route: The Preclear progresses up the Levels, from Grade Ito Grade VI or above. He has no formal training, only enough specified education from his auditor to enable him to receive and benefit from the processes of any particular level. This training is brief and free of charge. A continuous record of the pc's progress is kept in a Log Book. Every individual, including Co-Auditors and Classified Auditors, has one of these Log Books and has a Grade as a Preclear. 2. The Co-Auditor Route: Preclear progress as in 1. above. Auditor progress is by training for Certificates only, not Classification. There is a Certificate for every level, as follows: Level I - Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist (HAS) Level II - Hubbard Qualified Scientologist (HQS) Level III - Hubbard Certified Auditor (HCA) Level IV - Hubbard Clearing Scientologist (HCS) Level V - Hubbard Advanced Auditor (HAA) Level VI - Hubbard Senior Scientologist (HSS) Level VII - Hubbard Graduate Auditor (HGA) 3. The Professional Route: Preclear progress as in 1. above. Auditor progress is by training for Certificates, and also by training and examination for Classification, at Level III and above. Professional Auditors have to proceed through all the Levels in turn, but at Level III and above they take further training followed by an examination. The Professional Auditor's progress therefore is as follows: Level I - HAS Level II - HQS Level III - HCA (then takes Classification) - HPA Class III Level IV - HCS then HCS Class IV Level V - HAA then HAA Class V Level VI - HSS then HSS Class VI Level VII - HGA then HGA Class VII At each Level, he retains the Classification of the previous Level until he passes the next Classification examination. All auditors including and above HQS who hold the actual certificate may train any person to the level of HAS, and by application to the Auditors Division of Saint Hill may have the person he has trained certified. Application forms for this will be supplied by the Auditors Division. In Central Orgs, training for HAS is done by the PE Foundation; training for HQS and above by the Academy. Any Saint Hill graduate with a Class IV or above, by application for permission to the Saint Hill Auditors Division, may train any person to the level of HQS, and by application to the Auditors Division of Saint Hill may have the person he has trained certified. A simple examination or test may be part of the HAS or HQS course, but confers no classification. There is no Class I or Class II. 374 Correcting previous advices, it is not now intended that all certificates should be issued by the Auditors Division of HCO WW. Until - further notice, therefore, HCO Boards of Review should continue their present system of certification exactly - as before. Supplies of the new certificates are being printed, and will be available from the Book Dept of HCO WW in the usual way. ---------- A full Classification-Gradation Chart will be published from time to time giving the requirements and processes of every level, and concise text books and answer sheets are in preparation. But absence of tests shall not preclude training or classifying so long as the materials are communicated, at least until such time as texts are complete and available. Sample check sheets will also be issued from time to time for all courses to ensure a consistency of training material throughout Scientology. ---------- Preclears include every individual. Preclears are separately graded. The grade is obtained by flattening the processes of that Level-i.e. a preclear who has had all the required processes of Level I flattened, would become Grade I and would then proceed to the processes of Level II. And so on. Each level has certain basic processes to be accomplished. Preclear Gradation is not by certification but by specific log book issued to the preclear and signed by his auditor as each process is flattened and a level completed. The grade is issued to the Preclear by his Auditor when requirements are met in the log book. Classification of Auditors and Gradation of Preclears effective date is extended to 15 April 1965. Preclear log books will be issued shortly. The Director of Processing is in charge of all log books for the Org's area. The log book also applies to Co-Audits, in which case it is signed by the Classified Auditor in charge of the Co-Audit. Founding Scientologist Certificates are now being issued, allowing up to Class IV for trained auditors, and Grade N for Preclears. The actual certificate must be possessed by the individual to be in effect. The fact of having been a Scientologist or Dianeticist for years gives no dispensation unless the Founding Scientologist Certificate is in hand. Founding Scientologist Certificates may not be applied for after January 1, 1965. Effective June 1, 1968, Field centres duly established with Saint Hill graduates Class VI and VII may train to levels as high as IV, and Saint Hill graduates Class IV and above are permitted, effective April 15, 1964, to train to HAS and HQS. On June 1, 1968, Central Orgs will be permitted to train to Classes V and VI, which until that date will be taught only at Saint Hill. ---------- The General Classification-Gradation Chart Issue One is as follows: Class (Or Level) Process Types Certificate 0 Dangerous environment, ARC, education in basics of life. Case Improvement by education in Scientology and orientation in environment. None I R1C for PTPs, R1CM (fishing with TA), Assists, R2C (discussion by lists), Listen Style and Itsa. Case Improvement by communication on closely interested subjects and problems, using TA Blowdowns. HAS II Repetitive processes, Model Session, Op-Pro-By-Dup, 8-C, CCHs, Havingness, General 0/W, ARC '63, Auditing Cycle, Case Improvement by disciplined comm cycle, awareness of - mind and environment, using TA of meter and cumulative TA divisions. HQS III Auditing by List, Sec Checking by List, Prep- checking, 375 Problems Intensive, Mid Ruds, and Model Session. (Auditing by List is SOM-3L.) Case Improvement by removing psychosomatics, cleaning needle of all reads on given questions, any assessments done by upper level auditor. HCA/HPA IV R4SC, ARC Break Assessments, R4H (R2H), and Case Analysis. Case Improvement by Service Facsimile, life ARC Breaks and Case Analysis, using the listing and assessment potentials of the meter, which is not done in lower levels.(Clearing this lifetime.) HCS V Omitted HAA VI Locating the truncation, checking goals, running the Line-Plot and Track Analysis. Case Improvement by running pc's own goals all the way to operating thetan. HSS Vu Old Route One and Other Drills. HGA The certificate schedule HCO Policy Letter of August 12, 1963, is cancelled, The certificate Hubbard Book Auditor is withdrawn. The certificates Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist, Hubbard Clearing Scientologist and Hubbard Advanced Auditor are reinstated. The rules of processing apply to CLASS not to certificate. A certificate may have almost any lower class stamped on it. It is the classification not the certificate that permits use of processes or being run on processes. In a Co- Audit, the Classification of the supervising Auditor in charge decides the level of process which can be run. It is envisioned that training courses be brief and precise and require exact levels of attainment as to theory, practical and auditing requirements. Stress in any course is 50% on auditing, 50% on case gain. A person will not be allowed Classification until the processes of' that Level have been flattened on him or her and have been accurately recorded in the log book. Outlines of courses, with suggested prices, have been issued, and further information and more detailed instructions will be issued from time to time. A rigid requirement of the Classification-Gradation programme is that the requirements of one level must be met before the individual is allowed to proceed to the next. This applies appropriately to each category of person, whether proceeding along the Preclear, Co-Auditor or Professional route. Thus, a preclear may not be audited on a Level IV process until he has completed the processes of Level III and below. An auditor may not audit the processes of a certain level until he has the certificate or class of the preceding levels. And so on. There may be occasional exceptions to this-for instance, HGCs and Saint Hill trained auditors may issue special dispensation to HGC preclears or their own personal preclears to temporarily raise their preclear grade during certain phases of processing. But any abuse of the rules of the Classification-Gradation system which results in harm to preclears or complaints by them may make offenders subject to Committees of Evidence. ---------- It is not envisioned that people taking HAS or HQS or even HCA courses are making a career out of Scientology. They are expected to keep on working at their jobs. This must be stressed. There is no effort to follow medical- psychiatric practitioner patterns and have offices. There is an effort to work evening and weekends running small organizations of co-audits. The effort is to make Scientologists, not have "patients". This dictates the length of the HQS course as people can seldom get off work for more than a month. This does not interfere, however, with someone working full time in Scientology, or with auditors who do want to set up offices along traditional practitioner lines. Cost and length of courses rise somewhat as they increase in Class as the increased ability of the student, if well processed on classification level processes, commonly brings him or her more income and leisure. Therefore the HCS Course would take at 376 least 3 months and would cost in the neighbourhood of £150, if the HCA course was lasting 2 months and costing £78. ---------- As stated in previous issues, holders of a Founding Scientologist Certificate may have the right to use all processes up to and including Class IV if they were trained before 1964, and have the right to be audited on everything up to and including Class IV if they were not. ---------- It is reiterated that no classification for Class VI is now obtainable except by training, and no actual GPMs may be run by any auditor until the full technology is released and the classification is earned. At present, Classes V, VI and VII may be earned only at Saint Hill. ---------- The intent of this programme is to 1. Open the road for everyone 2. Provide wider dissemination 3. Guarantee an increase of knowledge to keep pace with increase of ability 4. Provide the cheapest possible processing 5. Regulate processes by Class Level to guarantee a more real advance 6. Steer around rough spots found in the past in technical, administrative and personal areas. There is no effort to decrease the income or present activity of any auditor or organization but only to widen the sphere of action. This policy has been formulated with the consultation and majority agreement of organizations and field auditors all over the world and is final. The effective date is now 15 April 1965. L.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [Added to by HCO P/L 18 June 1964, Professional Route Classification Requirements, page 378.] 377 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 18 JUNE 1964 CenOCon PROFESSIONAL ROUTE CLASSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (Addenda to HCO Policy Letter of 5 May 1964) The requirements for Classification under the Professional Route are as follows: On completion of a Level up to Certification the student is required to work as an interne in the HGC-auditing those processes on which he has been trained. When he/she has completed one month satisfactory service in the HGC he/she does a retread of the level in the academy. This should occupy half the time of the original course and the fee is half of the fee for the original course. At the end of this retread he/she must pass an examination on the whole of the material taught. This examination should be of about 25 questions. Many of the questions (say about a third) can be of the 'True or False' type. The remainder designed to bring out specific pieces of data. Over 90% correct answers is a pass subject to the student going and finding the correct answers to the questions he had wrong. Over 80% but below 90% is a flunk but entitles the student to take the exam again after a lapse of one day. Under 80% is a flunk and the student should be returned to Study for at least one week before taking the exam again. The questions on the examination should be varied frequently to avoid students swotting up on just the questions on the examination. During the student's period as an interne his progress should be carefully supervised by the D of P and a report submitted as to his competence or otherwise to the Examiners. Until a report of competence is received the student may not enter the Retread Course. If at any time during his internship he is continuing to make GAE's he must be returned to Course for further study and practice. The student is not eligible for pay during his internship.

Although I have received no complaints from anyone about this, I nevertheless do not feel right about telling Scientologists that there are certain materials they cannot use or be audited on. I would rather leave this matter wholly to personal experience of others and make the Gradation Programme only a recommendation not a directive. Accordingly, therefore the following policy is issued: 1. Any and all materials of Dianetics and Scientology may be used or received by auditors and preclears regardless of any assigned level or grade; 2. That classification and certificate issue remain based on these levels to indicate relative skills and state of training of auditors, and give them the most case wins for their auditing training level; 3. That all preclears only be advised that they will make best progress through following these levels in upward progress; 4. That the Gradation Programme remain as it is but without any enforcement or discipline for failing to follow it; 5. That the Gradation Programme is only a recommended route for best results. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:nb.cden Copyright ($) 1964 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 379 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 11 DECEMBER 1964 Remimeo BPI Franchise FULL TABLE OF COURSES AND CLASSIFICATION Classification Correction Due to various recommendations of National Committees it has become necessary to maintain a sliding scale of fees for training and for more vital reasons, to make HAS a fully accredited Academy Course. This alters recently released Classification data. There is a Class Zero. Examination for Classification will take place on the same basis as for any other class. This makes the following complete training certificate and Classification Schedule. This changes conflicting policy earlier released and finalizes certification and classification. Course Calculation All Courses An "Academy day course" shall be four weeks long, five days per week, 8 hours of on course time per day minimum. (Excludes lunches and breaks.) An evening course must contain 160 hours of actual course time, (no breaks included). This means 52 evenings of three hours each or any other means of getting 160 hours of instruction in evenings. A weekend course must contain 160 hours of course time. (No breaks or lunch or dinner time included.) This can be 16 weekends of 10 hours per weekend or any other multiple that gives 160 hours on weekends. An organization may not have both an evening and a weekend course unless they have 300 students routinely in their Academy. They have to choose one or the other by local choice. Weekend courses are usually more successful than evening courses in terms of student ability as the student is fresher and has more consecutive class hours. A day course is usually far more productive of student skill. Course Defined An Academy Course then hereafter means 160 hours of Class Instruction to Certificate for all Levels Zero to IV. Certification and Classification Table The PE Course is not an Academy Course. It however may continue to be taught. First enrolment, Level Zero. No prior examination. 160 course hours duration. Certificate Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist. Awarded without examination. First Classification: Prior to entering the next course (hours or weeks or months before) the student must take a written and practical examination for CLASS ZERO. If the student passes he is at once awarded his Classification by HCO and it is sealed on his HAS Certificate or given by letter and then sealed. Second Course. Level I. Hubbard Qualified Scientologist. Pre-requisite, HAS course and certificate. No prior classification required. 160 course hours duration. 380 Certificate awarded without examination: Hubbard Qualified Scientologist. Second Classification: Prior to entering the Level II course, hours or months, the student must take his written and practical Classification examination for Level I. On passing he is at once awarded his Class I Classification and it is certified by HCO letter or stamped and sealed on his certificate. If the student has not passed a prior classification exam and is not Class 0 yet, this second examination is the Class 0 examination and on passing it he has Class 0 awarded by HCO by letter or stamped and sealed on his highest certificate. He may also take his Class I examination as soon afterwards as he sees fit. Third Course Level II. 160 Academy hours. At course end, regardless of class as usual, he is awarded his certificate without examination as Hubbard Certified Auditor. Third Classification, Class II. Prior to entering his fourth course, hours or months, the student may take his Classification examination for Class II. If passed it is signified as usual by HCO. If the student has no classification up to this point, this examination is for Class 0. If he has no Class I yet, it is for Class I. He may take the other higher classification examinations as soon as he wishes. Fourth Course, Level III. 160 Academy hours. On completion, awarded certificate without examination as Hubbard Professional Auditor. Fourth Classification, Class III. Prior to entering his fifth course, Level IV, hours or months, the student may take his classification examination for Class III. If he has no classification to this time, the same procedure as earlier is followed. Fifth Course, Level IV. This like all other courses may be entered whether the student has passed his examinations or not. After 160 Academy Course hours, the student, without examination, is given his Hubbard Clearing Scientologist Certificate. Fifth Classification, Class IV. Prior to his entering an R6 course a student, after January 1, 1968, must bring all his classifications up to Class IV before entering an R6 course, whether this is done at an organization or at Saint Hill, and no matter where the R6 course is taught. Sixth Course, Level VI. Without training hours limit, but with a minimum of 400 course hours, the student completes the course by a completion of all check sheets or additional work assigned, and results in an award of Hubbard Senior Scientologist. Sixth Classification, Class VI. Examination given before the end of the Sixth Course and if passed, an award of Provisional Class VI is given by notification permitting the student to audit Class VI materials. When a successful period of observed auditing ensues, the Classification is confirmed as Class VI and the fact is attested by letter or by sealing and stamping the certificate. If the auditing period is not successful or for any other detrimental reason, the provisional classification may be retained. If the reasons are very detrimental, the provisional classification may be withdrawn. This however cancels no earlier classification. Table of Authorized Courses Field Auditor: PE Course. Curriculum as taught in Central Orgs over the years, based on the Dublin Personal Efficiency Course. Franchise Holder: PE Course. Already granted permissions to teach HAS and HQS expire on January 1, 1966. Curriculum until then must exactly follow recent HCO Bulletins outlining these two courses. HCO must give all Classification examinations to Franchise Holder students. City Of/Ice: PE Course permitted but not required. HAS, HQS and HCA. Permission to teach HCA expires January 1, 1966, at which time City Offices will teach only HAS and HQS. 381 Central Organizations: PE Course may be taught but is not recommended for Central Orgs. Must teach HAS, HQS, HCA and HCS Courses. A Central Organization will be reviewed on its student record on January 1, 1968 to establish the possibility of its teaching an HSS Course but permission not guaranteed and only one will be granted in a national area, if granted. Obvious Conclusion From the above it will be obvious that active Field Auditors are expected to become Franchise Holders in the future, that Franchise Holders will become City Offices, that City Offices will become Central Organizations and the national headquarters will become, eventually, a university. Aside from an expectancy that Field Auditors will continue to become Franchise Holders, no drastic upgrade is expected until after January 1, 1966. Auditors equipped to do so, on becoming Franchise Holders may still apply for permissions to teach HAS and HQS but these permissions all expire for Franchise Holders on January 1, 1966. On or before that date a new type of PE Course will be released for Franchise Holders to teach. And there is a possibility that Franchise Holders may be newly granted permission to teach HAS on January 1, 1966 depending entirely upon their teaching record with HCO WW. As Field Auditors were teaching only a PE Course as an HAS Course, this is more a change of name than a refusal to permit them to teach. They may go on teaching the same course, but must call it a PB Course and must not call it an HAS Course. Whether or not a City Office goes on teaching the HCA Course after January 1, 1966 depends entirely upon its activity. This matter also is subject to review on January 1, 1966. Franchise Holders who are behind-hand in their contributions to HCO WW are, as always, subject to franchise suspension or cancellation. If a franchise is suspended, teaching in progress may go on but no further students may be enrolled. If a franchise is cancelled, the existing students may be graduated, but will be very vigorously examined as low teaching quality or a poorly scheduled and careless course can be a grounds for cancellation if not mended when called to the Franchise Holder's attention. ---------- A Central Organization or City Office, until January 1, 1968, may teach any course they are allowed to anyone enrolling, regardless of former certification. This is to the end of improving auditing skill. They may not, after January 1, 1965, teach any special or data courses other than their regular Academy Courses at the specified rates. Until January 1, 1968, then, the policy of not retraining auditors is waived. Until January 1, 1968 any student enrolling for any course in the period from January 1, 1965 to January 1, 1968, regardless of training prior to January 1, 1965, may be directed into any lower course being taught at the Academy wholly and only at the discretion of the Director of Training. This is to resolve the impossibility of teaching someone at current Level IV who has not been well grounded, for instance, in Level III.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 382 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 17 MARCH 1965 Gen Non Remimeo Sthil Students BPI CLEARING AND TRAINING In the not too distant future, certainly within a couple years, being clear will be a requisite to being accepted for any training. The book auditor will be back with us in full swing. Auditing will be done of a kind. An HAS Course might be given. But I feel that from there on up processing comes before training. It would go this way. A person is processed up through the Grades, 0 to IV, getting his preclear grade certificate at each level. Then the person is accepted for training from Class Ito Class VII, class by class. People are already causing "problems" (joke) today in Academies and HGCs. They are also going clear before they have finished all their grades as pcs and in Academies before "they can be audited on the upper levels (such as III and IV)". We're too good suddenly. An auditor might feel his practice would go to pieces if preclears only took a few intensives to go through all the Grades from 0 to IV. The tendency to slow anyone down must be handled before it begins. We ought to operate only organizations and have large numbers of groups like we used to. Quantities of people is the answer. Then as we clear them in HGCs we transfer them over to the Academy to go on up to Class IV and then to Saint Hill for all the way to OT. It's quite a feasible route. Actually very easy if the tech is applied. It would be an interesting Academy with the students not being able to audit each other on lower grades, but having to scrounge pcs off the street to get their auditing cheek sheet complete. But with the majority of them clear they'd whizz through their check sheets in less than the allotted month now allowed for each course between 0 and IV. It is surely, surely true that nobody will make OT without training. Some auditors (Homer, Berner) are reported to have been trying to put "raw meat pcs" on Class VI processes on the sly with what is reported as rather awful results and spins. I hadn't heard about it, being away a bit, and the auditors were saved by the recent amnesty, but what a foolish and cruel thing to do when the route Grade 0 to IV is wide open for pcs, with wins all the way. Why throw the poor fellow in a ditch? The pcs of course stupidly demand to be OT yesterday, but what's a few weeks processing on the grades? Nobody will make OT without training. That's a technical fact. The Level VI processes just don't bite on lower level pcs! There'd be no tendency to slow up or speed up a pc's progress if clear were required before people were trained. They had a crisis on the Saint Hill Course just Monday. Student that was cleared in Washington DC couldn't be put through her preclearing for Class III and IV as the state of IV had been attained at III So we have to "solve" how to train clears anyway. We'll have to get a source of pcs for them to audit as nobody can get a meter to work on a clear, so they can't be preclears anymore. They're ready for OT as case but can't go on because that requires a full knowledge of auditing from 0 to IV for OT to be successfully attained. What a nice job instructing would be teaching only clears! LRH:ml.rd L. RON HUBBARD Copyright ($) 1965 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 383 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 MAY 1965 REISSUED 4 JULY 1970 Remimeo CLASSIFICATION, GRADATION AND AWARENESS CHART You will find a chart enclosed in the Auditor Issue 8. It covers many things. There are about 52 levels of awareness from Unexistence up to the state of CLEAR. By "Level of Awareness" is meant that of which a being is aware. A being who is at a level on this scale is aware only of that level and the others below it. To get a case gain such a person must become aware of the level next above him. And so on up in orderly sequence, level by level. If you skip a person on one level several levels up, he or she will experience only an unreality and will not react. This is expressed as "no case- gain". On the B-Meter it registers as "No Tone Arm Action" meaning there is no meter registry of change on the meter control lever (tone arm). A person audited a bit below or at his level of awareness gets "Tone Arm Action", Case Gain and has cognitions (new concepts of life). A principal contribution of Scientology is the technology necessary to change people so that they progress into higher states of ability when processed on the exact processes required by an auditor qualified by training to apply the processes expertly. It is not only general ability that increases, but IQ, renewed livingness and the skill and ability to better self and conditions. The state of homo sapiens runs from around -4 down to the bottom. Normal is probably much lower. As you study the chart you will see it is a road map upward. On the left we see the Class of the Auditor necessary to take the person up as well as the Grade the preclear reaches. In the next column we see his certificate name, obtained through his training at an Academy and, later, Saint Hill. Then we see a very general description of the processes used on that grade. The next column shows what pcs a classified auditor can audit. He can audit anyone at his Class numeral or below. He cannot audit pcs higher because of course he has not been trained to do so and is likely to have upset pcs. The final column shows where the certificate and class is obtained. 384 THE BRIDGE This is the famous bridge mentioned at the end of Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health. It is now complete and is functioning. The being enters it from somewhere in the minus regions as a Beginning Scientologist and moves on up. At about Grade II he has definitely reached Homo Novis. He becomes a RELEASE somewhere between II and V. And he becomes CLEAR at the top of VI. The state of Operating Thetan is attained above VI and is a Grade VII. For Man to have this at all is quite remarkable. He never had it before since we find him improving but still, on the average well below -4. By following this chart one can make RELEASE and then CLEAR. Up to Grade V one of course has help. But above that technical limitations bar completely the idea of CO-auditing. Some auditors will attempt it, themselves very far from there case-wise, and some have tried to show untrained pcs how to "solo audit" with a meter. The common result is that the pcs eventually collapse in a total overwhelm as they are not trained to handle such forces and so it is a cruel thing to do. The preclear moves safely on the proper bridge and somewhere along the line must be trained in the classifications that match his Grade. Then (and only then) can he make it all the way. One can be audited quite a ways. Then he had better get trained from zero on up. You see here some new certificates. These were made necessary by the gap which existed between the higher toned public person (-5) and the beginning of the span. We had to have a longer approach to the bridge. And so we put a certificate ladder there. Beginning Scientologist is given for a PB and so on up as the chart shows. The Class material has not been changed. If anyone has a Class Zero he is still a Class Zero but we will give him a new certificate to replace his old one. And so on. There is no change in Grades and Certificates from Class II up. Class V has been blank for years. Thus there is a proper certificate there, the HUBBARD VALIDATED AUDITOR. It says this auditor has been through a review of all his lower skills plus new ones and can jump off now for Solo and CLEAR. Previously we not only did not reach into the average homo sapien's awareness but we also had no means of touching cases much below -4. You are probably intrigued by Class VII. These Power Processes are what the CLEAR (or Auditor almost there) audits on low level pcs. Auditors below that case level can of course run them a bit but the processes shortly cave him in. These processes are only available at Saint Hill as they have just recently been perfected and an auditor to do them without danger to himself or the pc has to have interned at Saint Hill as a Saint Hill HGC staff auditor, not the same as a Class VI Saint Hiller. The thing to do is start in your local Academy at zero on the chart and move on up. Today that is faster and less expensive than you would think. There are two courses to one class. First one does the Certificate Course (Theory) and gets his certificate. This takes the average student about two weeks. Then one takes the Classification Course (Practical) for that class and gets his Provisional Classification. Every auditor must be classified now. This again takes the average Student about two weeks. All the courses from Class 0 up to IV are arranged that way. 385 The material has been streamlined. Class V, obtained at Saint Hill, is longer (and remains the same price as always) as it reviews all the classes and retrains where necessary and awards permanent classification for all the lower certificates as well as Class V. Some auditing occurs in the classification course and group auditing occurs daily. An unclassed auditor cannot charge a fee for auditing a grade he is not classed for and if he is turned in to HCO because of it the pc can regain all the fee from him. We must make it a safe bridge. Our entire Ethics system is formed just to make it a safe passage for the pc and to hold the bridge together so it can be crossed by Man. Auditors routinely make Releases with Academy courses today. Auditors graduated from the Saint Hill course can then take the final steps to make themselves clear and Saint Hill Interns are trained to make Releases of the lowest cases. Training fees are uniform in the US now at SlOO for each course. In all commonwealth countries the cost is £28 a course sterling (convert to local currency). There is one course for Certificate, followed by another for Classification. Field auditors can charge anything they like for HAS and Beginning Scientologist courses. And Hubbard Book Auditors can become HQS through extension courses. Your org may possibly give the lowest course free and charge very little for the HAS. ---------- My job is to give you the materials to make Releases and the skill to make Clear. I have done and will do everything I can to help anyone attain these hitherto unreachable heights of life and ability. The bridge is not only in, it is functioning every hour right now. Book early. The traffic is heavy already. And auditors are the scarcest and most valued beings on this planet. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:nt.aap Copyright ($) 1965, 1970 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 386 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 10 MAY 1965 (Revised and reissued on 19 Sept 1967) Remimeo Issue a copy to every Person attaining Release Qua1 Pers Hats Tech Pers Hats Students RELEASES VITAL DATA Persons who have attained Grade V and VA Release may not be audited on any processes except assists, By Passed Charge Assessments, Present Time Problems, and missed withholds until they are trained up to Level VI and started on R6 processes unless a lower level including Dianetic Release was later found to be missed. Although the training of the Release is necessary, and auditing knowledge of lower level process is vital, the Release's case as a case must be left alone except as above. The only thing left is the R6 bank itself and low level auditing becomes unworkable on a person already Released up to Grade V. When we called a Release a "Keyed out Clear" we erred in giving any further casual auditing. It was this which made the state of Release look unstable when it seemed so-the person was further audited to relieve him or her of locks, secondaries and engrams which had ceased to exist. Withholds may be pulled, present time problems may be lightly handled, even By Passed Charge Assessments may be run, touch assists and ordinary brief repair processes may be used on a Release. The Release can audit lower level processes than V with complete safety. Auditing a Release on repetitive Comm processes, etc., etc., or doing any continued sessioning will only key in the only thing left-the R6 bank. A Release is stable as long as he or she is not pushed into the R6 bank. The next step for a Grade VA Release in auditing is R6 EW. However the Release may not begin this until auditing skill is acquired by coming up the levels. It will now become quite common for a student to be Released by a Clear and then study and audit his way up the grades to VII. Nobody can do the VII clearing job for him but himself, and fragmentary auditing training will only lead him to mess up his case when he comes to Grade VI and VII auditing. On the other hand a Release with his high IQ and ability can scoot up the Classes at considerable speed if not stopped by having to be audited as part of his training. There is no special concession made to a Release by way of check sheets or a different kind of Course. The Release must move on up through the Classes course by course like any other student. There are two saving graces to being a Release as far as training is concerned: 387 1. The Release ordinarily experiences a heightened ability to put his life to rights economically; and 2. The heightened IQ and ability reflects in speed of study and comprehension. A person does not have more Scientology data just because he or she is a Release. The Release simply acquires it much faster and exhibits more skill doing it. For example, a student able before Release, to get only one or two passes a week on a Course should be able, when Released, to get ten times that. The Release is cautioned not to fool about with the R6 materials until fully trained and to pay no attention to suppressive persons who "seek to show him in an hour or two how to audit and run R6 and be clear." The safe way is the correct way. Leave the Reactive mind alone until one is fully trained as an auditor. Then go on to Clear. A Release is also warned that he becomes a particular target for suppressive persons who seek to invalidate his auditing and gains and to report them promptly to the nearest Hubbard Communications Office. Such people become afraid when they see another get better and are usually psychotic. ---------- The next action for a person who has attained Release is to take the next Course in Scientology and move on through to Clear properly. This is shown on the Gradation Chart issued in May 1965, and later issues. There is no other way to Clear. L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:mh.jp.rd Copyright ($) 1965, 1967 by L.

They all have the similar meter phenomena; floating needle and on or near clear read on a calibrated Mark IV or Mark V. There is the plain First Stage Release. This occurs in auditing up to Grade IV. It is not very stable. The person is very well off and definitely a Release. But he or she can now postulate and in postulating sometimes gets into the R6 Bank. The First Stage Release is eased out of the bank but subject to call back. Then there is the Power Process Release. This is very stable and should be called a Second Stage Release or a Power Release to be technically exact. You can run only Power Processes on a First Stage Release. These knock out all factors of the track that force a person back into the R6 Bank and leave the person able to go into or get Out of the. R6 Bank easily. This Second Stage Release is definitely Homo Novis. The person ceases to respond like a homo sapiens and has fantastic capability to learn and act. The Third Stage Release (called for a few days a Second Stage before terminology was firm) is an improved Second Stage Release in that selective areas of learning are handled to return special skills to the person. The case state does not necessarily improve but certain zones of knowledge have been polished up. There is another state near that of Release. This is a Keyed-Out-Operating Thetan. At this time it occurs sometimes by accident in Power Processing, but I think I will be able to process a Second Stage Release to it directly some day. The pc is still a pre clear though a Keyed-Out-OT. This really isn't a Thetan Exterior. The Thetan Exterior is quite unstable and can be attained below an ordinary First Stage Release. A real Clear is of course on the other side of the Reactive Bank and above all these states. It is completely stable. One needs to know how to audit to get there. A real Operating Thetan is of course a Clear who has been familiarized with his environment to a point of total cause over Matter, Energy, Space, Time and Thought. This accounts for all states of being discussed in .Dianetics or Scientology. They are all attainable and only one, Keyed-Out-OT is not done by routine auditing, being an offshoot of it that happens sometimes. The First Stage Release is as high as we got in Dianetics, so you can see we are five states of being above where we first arrived. We are doing these today on a routine assembly line basis on all cases. Orgs do a lot of First Stage Releases. Saint Hill is doing Power Releases and moving people up to Clear through Academy and Saint Hill training. A lot of cases would have to spend a lot more time in Power Processing if they weren't already successfully processed in Grades 0 to IV. The majority of cases even when trained, will not be able to go Clear without being Released. And of course nobody is going to go OT before they have been Audited, Released, trained and cleared, all of which are currently standard actions in Scientology today. We are definitely on our way. L.

He (Or she) does not remain in status quo (unchanging state) while a Release. A First Stage Release often pulls further out to First Stage Released OT after processing. Similarly a Second Stage Release may become a Second Stage Released OT. In their understandable enthusiasm-they feel so much better and bigger and stronger-a release sometimes seeks additional acknowledgment by requesting a further release check. A pc who has attained a First Stage can go First Stage Released OT but cannot possibly go Second Stage without Power Processing. In short, one can't upgrade stages 1 to 2, etc without the actual processing. Why? Because a key out is just that, a key out. Just because one no longer has a tiger in his lap does not mean the tiger has vanished. He's merely stepped out into the hall. In the course of life somebody is going to leave the door open. The tiger won't come back into one's lap but he'll sure sit on the rug and sneer. Key out means there's still a tiger. Release means he's away. One First Stage can be more released than another First Stage. The tiger is further off. But when you start upgrading numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) you are talking about less tiger. There's less bank. First Stage removes a few tiger whiskers and the sneer. That's the locks going. The tiger is near or far-that means more or less 1st Stage, it doesn't mean there's less tiger. Second Stage removes the tiger's misemotjon and his front claws. The tiger can now be near or far but he is that much tiger. .He can be so far away one is sure he has vanished. But he's just far. He remains that much tiger (minus whiskers, sneer, temper and front claws), he just isn't evident. Third Stage pulls the tiger's ability to paralyze one's wits. In effect Third Stage removes impediments to one's ability to know. The tiger, though now minus whiskers, sneer, temper, front claws, and the ability to paralyze is still about. He may at this stage walk off so far that one is positive there is no more tiger. But it's early to break out the champagne. Maybe he won't be back for years, even centuries, but he still exists. Fourth Stage Release removes the tiger's claws all about and blunts his teeth. And causes him to hide in closets. But though he hasn't whiskers, sneer, claws, or his frightening effect, or the old sharpness, he is still a tiger. One can gambol about in the sun cheerily, feeling quite sure there is no tiger at all. Only the locks on the R6 bank are gone. That R6 bank is still there. At this stage the pc feels he can move mountains single handed and is given to chest thumping. That he still depends upon a body gets overlooked. But ahead of him is the BIG job. There is still a tiger. This tiger if not vanished utterly will sooner or later creep up and eat up the goodies. So one has to handle Mr. Tiger once and for all, run the total R6 bank and become a 5th Stage Release. Now, and only now, with a bit of reorientation can one be CLEAR. No more tiger. He is not near or far. He doesn't exist. And one can go on for the trillions. Early on my pcs went keyed out clear and went away. They stayed that way a long time. They were sure they had attained the zenith. 390 Today we are going to have the same problem. A Release is going to feel sure he has gone up in number of Release when it's only the tiger out for lunch. I am the last one to throw cool water over anyone's head about Release. But I have a passion for stating truth as I know it when I know it. You can always depend on that. It's not always popular but it's honest. Therefore these are the only ways to go up in number as a Release. To obtain FIRST STAGE RELEASE, one must have had lower grade auditing of some sort. This removes the locks (the distressful moments of life) off the Reactive Mind. As these pinned one to it, one can now get out of it. To obtain SECOND STAGE RELEASE one must have been run on the highest of the Power Processes. This gets rid of the secondaries (misemotions and upsets) and the engrams (moments of pain and unconsciousness). And as these pinned one to the Reactive Mind one can now move Out of it and isn't so likely to go back into it as he has no secondaries and engrams to call him back. To obtain THIRD STAGE RELEASE one has to tackle the beings, places and subjects one has long detested. And when these are gone one isn't likely to be called back into the Reactive Mind very soon as bits of his daily life don't remind him of beings, places and subjects he once detested. To obtain FOURTH STAGE RELEASE one has to take the lock end words off the R6 bank. He has to be an R6 Auditor himself to do this properly. With these gone, the R6 bank is left on its naked basics and one can be very free of it for quite a while. But now we are down to the concrete and bedrock. To obtain a FIFTH STAGE RELEASE, one has to have run out the whole remaining Reactive Mind. We are awfully lucky to have the combination to the vault as it's been shut thoroughly for the trillions. That's done by a process known as R6-GPMI-or GPMs by Items. And I assure you 1. It can be done and 2. It was pure hell going it blind when I was trying to find it. It took several years and thousands of hours of research auditing to just find the pattern of it. This is the longest job (R6-GPMI) and requires now at least 14 months of daily solo auditing. And then one is 5th Stage and ready for a polish and Clear. Now understand, at each of these stages one has to go unrelease to make it to the next stage of release. This requires guts-and faith. One is feeling GRAND. The world is. beautiful. The unbrave get nervous at the thought of diving back into the asphalt or, to keep our metaphor, about deliberately whistling up the Tiger-"Here Tiger! Here Tiger! Come out wherever you are" So a way that is cooked up to avoid this further combat is to pretend an. upgrade in number of release without the hard work and scratches necessary to honestly achieve it. Add to all this that one has a present time, and a body to receive the slings and arrows and one sees that it is a complex picture. But we have the way. It is the way. Many will come along selling the frightened the idea one can leap up through the numbers without pain or toil or auditing by flexing one's chest or eating wheaties or praying. But that isn't the WAY. There's no bridge there. The main point that will be stumbled on is. this: Nobody has any real reality on how high up these states are or how utterly tall Clear really is. ---------- Well, that's the score. Does it help? L.

The Examiner must be satisfied as to the general skill of the auditor. Auditing By List, R2-l2, R4H can be run on a person who went 1st Stage Release on Comm Processes. (Warning-R2-l2 is too fast and got us into trouble by releasing too quickly and was grossiy overrun by all. It was withdrawn but now its fault has been found. Of all processes it releases most quickly.) The following can be run on any pe: 1. ARC Breaks 2. PTPs 3. Withholds 4. Any Continuing Overts 5. Release Rehabilitation. In fact these must be covered in reviewing cases. 1. No-one must be audited while ARC Broken but the ARC Break can be found, located and indicated. 2. A PTP drives the pc into back track in an effort to avoid it. 3. TA ceases to increase or declines in the presence of a missed withhold (particularly one missed when the TA ceased to increase or declined). 4. A pc continually committing hidden overts in PT won't advance at all. 5. You can always rehabilitate a moment of former release. Therefore any of the above 1 to 5 can be run on any release of any stage. Thus an Examiner can require one of the above processes demonstrated for the level they match in lieu of grade processing for the classification requirement. L.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 392 NOT HCO POLICY LETTER CORRECT COLOUR FLASH RED ON WHITE HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO BULLETIN OF 30 AUGUST 1965 Remimeo RELEASE STAGES There are five stages of Release. When one of these is attained the next one up can be run. A preclear who has attained a stage of Release may not be run further on the processes of that stage or below or he will go back into his Reactive Mind. All Releases however can have their problems handled, their withholds pulled, their ARC Breaks repaired and any Release at any stage can be audited on the exact processes of Release Rehabilitation. The states of Release differ in that one is more stable than another. The Reactive Mind (known also as the R6 Bank) can only be audited out by someone who is trained up to Class VI. When the Reactive Mind is fully audited out (erased completely), one has a Clear. When .a Clear has been refamiliarized with his capabilities, you have an Operating Thetan (an OT). A Release, then, is pulled OUT of his Reactive Mind. A Clear has fully erased his Reactive Mind. An Operating Thetan is one who is Cause over Matter, Energy, Space and Time and is not in a body. The degree and relative permanence of being pulled out of the Reactive Mind determines the state of Release. There are numerous things that can pull one back into the Reactive Mind. These are (1) Locks (2) Secondaries (3) Engrams (4) The Whole Time Track. LOCKS By reducing locks as in Levels 0 to IV, we then remove the ability of locks to pull the being back into his R6 Bank. Locks are mental image pictures of non-painful, but disturbing experiences, the person has experienced. They depend for their force on secondaries and engrams. Thus, one who has had his locks reduced is a FIRST STAGE RELEASE. SECONDARIES and ENGRAMS When a being has had the secondaries and engrams reduced, he is far less likely to be pulled into the Reactive Mind than if he has just had their locks reduced. Secondaries are mental image pictures containing misemotion (grief, anger, apathy, etc). They contain no pain. They are moments of shock and stress and depend for their force on underlying engrams. 393 Engrams are mental image pictures of pain and unconsciousness the person has experienced. When these are reduced, one has a SECOND STAGE RELEASE. THE WHOLE TRACK Bits and pieces of the whole track remain after the locks, secondaries and engrams are reduced. These bits inhibit the being from recovering knowledge. The Whole Track is the moment to moment record of a person's existence in this universe in picture and impression form. When these bits are cleaned up, a being is a THIRD STAGE RELEASE. THE REACTIVE MIND When the pc has taken the locks off the Reactive Mind itself, using R6EW, he attains Fourth Stage Release. THE REACTIVE MIND When the entire Reactive Mind has been erased and the person is again wholly himself, one could call it a Fifth Stage Release. But that is really CLEAR. OPERATING THETAN When a being once more has recovered his full abilities and freedom, a state much higher than Man ever before envisioned is attained. This state is called OPERATING THETAN L.

As mentioned in earlier lectures there are several intermediate stages of Release between Level Zero and Level Five. I have finally isolated these and they agree with the Gradation Chart of Levels. This changes also in some degree the upper levels of Academy training materials without actually adding any but only reassigning the same materials to different levels. This discovery came out of a survey of the only things that could balk a case. These also are the main things an auditor has to be careful about in pcs. Further study revealed the state of Release to be available on each of these points and that therefore, both to make Releases and better trained auditors, these were fitted in to the Gradation Chart in natural sequence as the dominant points stressed on each level. The points are the same as those covered in the current "Out Tech" Bulletins and lecture. They are: Communication ARC Breaks PTPs O/Ws Continuous Overts So as to minimize any upset in introducing these additional levels of Release we will cease to call Release by stages and call them by Grades. In earlier material and lectures the terms "1st Stage Release" indicated a person released anywhere between Level Zero and Level IV, a "Second Stage Release" indicated a Power Process Release, a "Third Stage Release" was one made by orientation processes and a "Fourth Stage Release" meant one made by R6 EW. This was before I found that the additional levels were important or obtainable. Without wiping out the meaning of these "stages", we will simply cease to use them to designate Releases and designate by GRADES. We will then use the exact processes of the grades that obtain the state of Release for the preclear and thus keep things straight. This then is the new Grading: Type of Release Type of Process Grade VII --- CLEAR Grade VI Release - R6 EW Grade V Release - Power Processes Grade IV Release - Service Facsimiles Grade III Release - ARC Break Processes (old R-4-H renamed R-3-H) Grade II Release - 0/W Processes (including the "Joburg") Grade I Release - Problems Processes (such as Probs Intensive or CCHs) Grade 0 Release - Communication Processes 395 Any one of the above group of processes can (and should be) run to a Floating Needle (and not one command beyond it). With auditors warned of the consequences of running beyond the state of Release and people easily rehabilitated to the state even if it is overrun, it will be found that the state is attainable at each level with smooth auditing. This ties smoothly into training as a class of auditor is capable of making a class of Release. Knowing why people Roller Coaster (Potential Trouble Source) and what an SP (Suppressive Person) is and by carefully handling training of auditors in accordance with the "Out Tech" materials we can easily attain these states for preclears. The discovery is actually contained in the first material issued that calls attention to not further auditing Releases. They could have their ARC Breaks, PTPs and Overts handled. This when I followed it up showed that additional Release states existed for these types of phenomena. There are some additional processes that can be run at certain levels and as these are proven out they will be added as alternate processes to the level. However, it will be found that when a preclear goes Release at a Grade, it will not be advisable to further audit him or her in that grade on an additional process once the phenomena of Release has been attained for that grade. It may be that if a pc fails to go Release on the recommended process for that grade, another process for that grade included under the type of process for that grade may be used. For instance, on Problems, the pc does not go Grade I Release in the regular buttons of a Problems Intensive. Other buttons may be found- and used. Or the preclear may be run on "Rising Scale Processes" or another process listed for that grade, all toward the goal of making the pc a Release from Problems. You don't run a pc on the next grade just because you couldn't Release him on the lower grade. You run the additional processes of a grade until he releases at that grade. At Grade Zero you run Comm Processes of whatever kind until you have a Grade Release. That means a "Communication Release". Then you do the same at Grade I and run any version of problems, that affects the person's problems until you have a Grade I Release, a "Problems Release". Therefore you are releasing the person on certain subjects at each grade. The scale can then be written like this. Grade VII CLEAR - Bank Erased Grade VI Release - Whole Track Release Grade V Release - Power Release Grade IV Release - HABIT Release Grade III Release - ARC Release Grade II Release - Overt Release Grade I Release - Problems Release Grade 0 Release - Communication Release You can readily spot that under each of these headings we have several effective processes in addition to a principal process. The most indicated processes for these levels are listed in the first list of grades above. If a former Release went Release on, let us say Problems, he can be rehabilitated on the Problems Release and then audited on any of the other grades from IV down. In short, anyone who went Release on one of these Grades from IV down may not be audited further on that grade but can be released on any one of the other grades 0 to IV omitting only Grade I Release, Problems. 396 Of course from V (Power Processes) on up it becomes improbable to run a lower grade but it possibly could be done on some cases. However, a Grade VI Release (R6 EW) can't possibly be run below Grade VI. Arid on a Clear, there's no bank at all, only freedom. It's also noteworthy that it's all but impossible to do Grade V, Power Processes, on a former release that has not been fully rehabilitated on the lower grade. In training it is therefore necessary to put a Meter in the hands of a student at Zero and have him able to clean Tone Arm action well at Level I, be able to detect and clean reads at II and not clean cleans, be able to assess at III and find Service Facs at IV. This means also that at Zero you teach the student all about Communication, its formula and the Comm Cycle and TRs. At I you teach repetitive commands, problems intensives (assessed by an upper class auditor as we used to do) and the CCHs (which pull the person out of problems and into PT). At II you teach a student all about STUDY (the genus of overts is the misunderstood) and O/Ws. At III you teach the student all about ARC and ARC Breaks and assessment and how to do old R-4-H in full and expertly. And at IV you teach the student all about "Deds" and "Dedexes" (History of Man) and justified O/Ws and Suppressives and PTSs and how to find and run Service Facs. And at V you review the student and classify fully all lower grades. And at VI you teach the student all about R6 and how to do R6 EW and as the student moves to VII you teach Power Processing and give the student the final materials to go on to Clear himself. As I promised to do some time ago, that neats up all training into a form that can be firm, finally published in eventual book form, and which puts the stress on the most important data in auditing. Parts of the mind, Codes, scales, other background data can be woven into the proper levels without overloading any. Obviously then, you teach the student the theory in the Certification course and the drills and key processes for the grade in the Classification course of the .proper level. This neats up both training and processing, releasing and clearing. This does not prohibit one from handling ARC Breaks or PTPs or overts in rudiments at any level, really. Handling a rudiment is just getting the pc going. It puts the heavy processes that handle ARC Breaks in life and the past, the problems, etc each in its proper level. The rule applies that you must not overrun one of these heavy grade processes and must halt it the moment a free needle appears on it. Or if the TA goes out of it and it hasn't released the pc and hasn't been overrun another process can be run for that grade to handle the subject of that grade. But I think you will find that the primary process of the grade will do it uniformly if well audited. Here then is the additional data that belongs on your Gradation Chart and modernizes it. L.

These Grades and names are final, and they designate what is to be run on the pc to obtain the various states of Release. A table follows: ________________________________________________________________________________ Grade Name Materials Former Name Where Done Grade VIII Operating Thetan R1 Drills Operating Thetan Saint Hill Grade VII CLEAR Clearing Course Clear Saint Hill Solo Grade VI Whole Track R6 EW Stage 4 Release Saint Hill Release Release Solo Grade VA Power Plus Added Power Stage 3 Release Saint Hill by Release Release Process Class VII Auditor Grade V Power Release Power Processes 2nd Stage Saint Hill by Release Release Class VIls Grade IV Ability Release Service None Saint Hill or Release Facsimiles HGC5-Any Class IV or above Grade III Freedom Release R3H None SH or HGCs ARC Breaks Any Class III or above Grade II Relief Release 0/W Processes None SH or HGCs Release Missed w/hs Any Class II Joburg or above Grade I Problems Release Probs Intensive None SH or HGCs Release Any Problems Any Class I Process or above Hidden Standards Book of Case Remedies Grade 0 Communications Level 0 Processes Keyed-Out Clear SM or HGCs Release Release (0-0, 0-A, etc) Book I Clear Any Class 0 or above Ungraded Scientologist Assists of all None Anywhere-any types Qualified auditor or Scientologist ________________________________________________________________________________ It is obvious then that GRADE CERTIFICATES FOR PRECLEARS lapse and are no longer issued and are replaced by Release awards, awarding "Grade-Release" when attained. 398 It is also obvious that as these states all existed before they were discovered then REHABILITATION OF FORMER RELEASE is addressed to rehabilitating these grades. When rehabilitation is done and the state recovered for the pc a "Grade- Release" for the Grade actually recovered is issued. The SAME rehabilitation processes as issued are used for every type of Release. Preclears were sometimes released in more than one grade and Former Release is rehabilitated (and sold) for each grade the pc was formerly released on. All grades formerly attained must each one in turn be found and rehabilitated and each one is separately declared by Certs & Awards. Therefore a pc going release on a simple Qua! Division check out must be urged to get a rehabilitation as there may be other former release states there and for anyone rehabilitated as a former release many other grades (as per chart above) are available to be audited up to. ---------- REHABILITATION OF FORMER RELEASE Technically you will find just these phenomena as given in the Routing Chart of Auditor 10 and the 22 Sept HCOB were the subjects of release. Sometimes a pc was according to him released formerly on some other process or subject than those given on the Chart. You will however find that it relates to one of the Grade Subjects (Comm, Problems, 01W, ARC Brks, Service Facs, as the total of the Grades up to IV). Example: Pc reads as Released on CCHs. OK, that was a Problems or a Comm Release. Why? It was because PC came to PT away from his problems of the past or because pc got into comm with the universe. Just decide which. Example: Pc checks as Released on the button "Importance", run in brackets or concepts. This wasn't any Grade VI Release! It was probably Problems that were cleaned up or even O/Ws; therefore it was a Grade I or II. You have to see which Release Grade it was and that's easy since the pc will tell you even without your asking that he "got over his ARC Breaks" or "His problems didn't worry him". On old time processes, R2- 12, Rising Scale, even Engram Running, the point where Release was attained was because a Comm block, a Problem, an 0/W, an ARC Break cleaned up. It wasn't the old process that determines the Grade the pc was formerly released at so much as which of the Grade subjects were relieved at the time. ERROR The biggest error you can make in rehabilitation of a former release is to grade him too high and by-pass available charge for further releasing. In the earlier grades you can go from Grade IV Release to Grade 0 Release to Grade II, etc. They are not entirely consecutive from 0 to IV. They are from V up. For instance you rehabilitate a pc as Grade II Release (overts and withholds) by standard rehab approach. He is then declared a Grade II Release of course. However he can be run on Comm Processes to obtain Grade 0 Release or on Problems to obtain Grade I Release and better had be. As we have formerly released so many on so many different processes the background for rehabilitation is ragged at this time. New people can be moved up smoothly from Zero to IV. Older Scientologists will go up and down from Zero to IV. You will find at times that somebody you are trying to audit to a certain Grade suddenly recalls being released at that Grade. The proper action then is rehabilitation of the Grade, not continuing to run the Grade. 399 All this is really quite simple. The BIGGEST error is and will, continue to be not noticing a state of Release occurring while running a process and then overrunning it and engulfing it. You don't always see the free, floating needle-it is at times brief. NERVES For a while auditors will be very nervy and err by under-running processes and failing to flatten them. Some auditors will see a floating needle everywhere. Some will remain blind to them and grind on and on. The thing to do is eventually find the happy medium. Don't under-run or overrun. Just notice when the process has produced a floating needle and carry on when it has not. And listen for those big pc upsurges in tone and halt there. And watch for the rising Tone Arm that goes to 5. Mostly it's an overrun. But some pcs who always were at 5 weren't ever formerly released and will need Power Processes to get them started. Power Processing also combines a lot of lower grade results also. But it is hard to Power Process pcs who have never had lower grade releasing. The Power Processing becomes very lengthy. However, real tough cases can't attain lower grade release states and so have to be Power Processed at once instead of after properly attaining the lower grades. These "at once" Power Process cases, who have had no former release grade are pretty Suppressive. However, some pcs' Tone Arms can be at 5 and the pc can act Suppressive if it all stems from unnoticed lower Grade releasing that was never observed or rehabilitated. It is interesting that a Grade V Release (Power Process) cannot thereafter be processed below his Grade. But this is a new set of processes. You won't find any Former Release Grade Vs. They just never made Grade V before, even by accident. Grade VI Releases (R6 EW) don't easily respond thereafter to Power Processes. But remember, that's a Grade VI Release, not somebody who came up with a few bits of R6 EW. You can't run a Grade VII (Clear) on anything but he can be drilled on getting about the universe and getting familiar with himself and what he can do. Grades VI and VII really cannot be successfully audited except by oneself- solo. If somebody else did audit them on a pc, the pc would not prosper. He'd be a fool and quite confused. These Grades (VI and VII) require knowledge. Without it it's pitiful. Auditors who have tried to audit raw meat pcs on these Grades have gotten into serious messes not with us but in their own activities-all stemming from trying to make a baby be vice president in six easy lessons. Two such auditors blew Scientology-they themselves had no real data or release grade or even case gain yet they tried to use VI materials on raw meat and it all went wrong and the pcs today mostly snarl and natter. Their way is barred by their antagonism. It takes a real thetan to stand up to VI and VII. Ask somebody who has been there. I trust these new Grades I found will help straighten out a lot of things.
