The Dianetic CS-1 is for new, unaudited pcs or for old pcs who have misunderstoods, who try to be psychoanalytic cases or who don’t catch on.
The Dianetic CS-1 is done on the pc’s auditing time.
It is done to give the pc the necessary data and R-Factor on basics and Dianetic procedure so he fully understands and is able and willing to be audited successfully.
The auditor should know his materials very well and should have a Tech Dictionary, his HCOB pack, a regular but simple dictionary in the language being audited, ready in the CS-I session for reference and for clearing up any misunderstoods or questions the pc may have.
A) To clear the various Dianetic terms, use the Definitions Sheet attached to this issue (Attachment No. 1), where the definitions have been taken from the glossary at the back of the book Dianetics Today and from the Tech Dictionary.
Also make full use of the Tech Dictionary, Dianetics Picture Book, plus BTB 11 Dec 69R “Dianetic Illustrations” and other references listed at the end of this issue.
If further references are needed, ensure you use source materials.
B) When the pc has read and grasped the definition of a Dianetic term have him give you the definition in his own words and if necessary have him give you sentences using it correctly. Have him give you examples — “real life” examples where possible, using his experiences or those of friends or relatives. Have him demonstrate the word or item, using a demo kit.
C) Lists of the words used in R3RA commands, the preassessment, the L3RE, etc. are also included at the end of this issue (Attachment No. 2).
To clear these words, use the CS-1 Definitions Sheet attached as it applies or a good (not dinky) dictionary, such as one of the Thorndike Barnhart editions.
D) Check for any questions (or misunderstoods) as you go along and ensure any such get handled so the pc winds up with a clear understanding of the word, item or procedure.
Do not settle for glibness that does not show understanding but, on the other hand, do not overrun or put duress on the pc.
Ensure that each word cleared on the pc is taken to F/N.
1. Clear the word: Dianetics.
2. Clear the words: a) thetan b) mind c) body. Have the pc use the demo kit to ensure the pc gets the relationship between these (as well as using the above references).
3. Now clear the words: a) picture b) mental image picture c) reactive mind d) bank. Ensure you include pc doing a demo to show that the reactive mind or bank is made up of pictures.
4. Clear the words: a) auditing b) auditing session c) preclear d) auditor.
5. Clear with the pc:
a) the communication cycle. Get the pc to give you examples he has observed.
b) the auditing comm cycle.
Get the pc to explain the difference between a comm cycle and the auditing comm cycle. Have him demonstrate it.
You can also ask him questions like: “Have you eaten dinner?” (or breakfast or lunch) and when he replies, ask “What did you do when I asked you that question?”
6. Work with TRs on the pc until he has a good idea of auditing.
7. Clear the words: a) charge b) mental mass.
8. Go over with the pc what the meter does (registers interest and charge/mental mass).
For demonstrations, you can do a “pinch test” where you explain to the pc that to show him how the meter registers mental mass you will give him a pinch as part of the demonstration. Then get him to think of the pinch (while he is holding the cans) showing him the meter reaction and explaining how it registers mental mass.
9. Define: floating needle.
In Dianetics the auditor will only indicate the F/N when full end phenomena has been reached.
10. Define: a) lock b) secondary c) engram.
Ensure pc understands each and how these three differ.
Use the Dianetics Picture Book, HCOB 23 Apr 69R “Dianetics Basic Definitions” and BTB 11 Dec 69R, “Dianetic Illustrations.” Get examples. Use demo kit as necessary.
11. Define: incident.
Have the pc give you examples.
12. Define: duration.
Have the pc demonstrate duration, using a demo kit.
13. Define: chain. Use examples. Get the pc to demonstrate a chain, using a demo kit.
14. Define: erasure.
For demonstration, have the pc draw something on a piece of paper and then have him fully erase it with an eraser.
15. Define: postulate.
Have the pc give you some examples of a postulate. Then have him give you an example of at least one time when he postulated something and got it.
16. Define: cognition.
Have the pc give you some examples of a cognition.
17. a) Clear the word: flow. b) Clear each of the Flows 1, 2, 3, 0. c) Have the pc give examples and demonstrations of each.
18. Take up Routine 3RA.
a) Clear each word of each command of the R3RA procedure. (See attached Word List.)
b) Ensure the pc understands:
(1) “erasing.” For demonstration, have the pc draw something with pencil on a piece of paper. Then have him erase parts of it (not the whole).
(2) “going more solid.” For demonstration, have the pc draw something with pencil on a piece of paper. Then have him make what he has drawn more solid. again using the pencil to do so.
When the above demonstrations have been done, you can also get the pc to demonstrate “erasing” and “going more solid” for you with a demo kit.
c) Tell the preclear that you and he will do a demonstration so he will get a reality on how the Dianetic R3RA procedure works in auditing.
d) Have the preclear put the cans down and pinch his right arm. Then tell the preclear “Locate a time you had a pinching feeling in your right arm.” Continue with steps 2 through 9, A to F of R3RA, erasing/solid and earlier incidents, etc., clearing each step.
e) After each step of R3RA ask the preclear “What did you do?” so that he gets the idea of how R3RA is run. Don’t overdo this but ensure the preclear understands what is required of him at each step.
19. Clear briefly with the pc the fact you will be getting data from him on his background on the Original Assessment Sheet, and later on the Second Original Assessment Sheet.
(Do not ask the preclear questions from this or any other sheet or list.)
20. a) Give him a brief R-Factor on doing the preassessment. Let him know he will be giving you items for the preassessment, but do not get into any listing at this point.
b) Clear the Preassessment List words. (See Attachment No. 2.)
21. a) Give pc the R-Factor that if at any time there is any difficulty in the Dianetic auditing, you will be using a prepared assessment list (L3RE) to find and handle the exact difficulty.
b) Ensure he understands that when you are assessing a prepared list he sits quietly holding the cans while you call the list and take meter reads to locate the difficulty.
c) Clear each word on the attached L3RE Word List. (Attachment No. 2.)
22. a) Give the pc an R-Factor on the Examiner and the fact that he will go to the Examiner immediately after each auditing session. Ensure he understands the Examiner says nothing to the preclear at that time, only recording what the pc says and noting down the tone arm position and state of the needle.
Ensure he also understands the Examiner is the person he sees if he wishes to make any sort of statement regarding his case or if there is something he wants handled regarding his case.
b) Clear: Examiner.
23. Turn the folder in to the C/S.
This CS-1 can usually be completed in one session. If it is done in more than one, the session should be ended off at the end of a step or completion of a word or demonstration — never in the middle.
Make sure you do not leave your preclear with a misunderstood or confusion.
This CS-1 will result in huge wins for any preclear whether new or previously audited.
The following are some of the references the auditor should be very familiar with:
NOTE: Also see Attachments No. 1 and No. 2 at the back of this Bulletin.
The following definitions have been taken from the glossary of the book DIANETICS TODAY and from the Technical Dictionary.
DIANETICS: Man’s most advanced school of the mind. From the Greek dia, through, and noos, soul, thus “through soul” or “through thought.”
THETAN: From THETA (life static), a word taken from the Greek symbol or letter: theta, traditional symbol for thought or spirit. The thetan is the individual himself — not the body or the mind. The thetan is the “I”; one doesn’t have or own a thetan; one is a thetan.
MIND: A control system between the thetan and the physical universe. It is not the brain. The mind is the accumulated recordings of thoughts, conclusions, decisions, observations and perceptions of a thetan throughout his entire existence. The thetan can and does use the mind in handling life and the physical universe.
BODY: The organized physical composition or substance of an animal or man whether living or dead. It can also mean a grouping or gathering, or any whole of anything.
PICTURE: An exact likeness; image. A mental image.
MENTAL IMAGE PICTURES: Mental pictures, facsimiles and mock-ups; a copy of one’s perceptions of the physical universe sometime in the past.
REACTIVE MIND: Reactive bank. The portion of the mind which works on a stimulus-response basis (given a certain stimulus it will automatically give a certain response) which is not under a person’s volitional control and which exerts force and power over a person’s awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions. It consists of locks, secondaries, engrams and chains of them and is the single source of human aberration and psychosomatic ills.
BANK: Reactive bank; reactive mind; engram bank. The mental image picture collection of the preclear. It comes from computer technology where all data is in a “bank”; portion of the mind which contains engrams, secondaries and locks.
AUDITING: Processing, the application of Dianetic or Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. The exact definition of auditing is: the action of asking a preclear a question (which he can understand and answer), getting an answer to that question and acknowledging him for that answer.
AUDITING SESSION: 1. a precise period of time during which the auditor listens to the preclear’s ideas about himself. 2. a period in which an auditor and preclear are in a quiet place where they will not be disturbed. The auditor gives the preclear certain and exact commands which the preclear can follow.
PRECLEAR: From pre-Clear, a person not yet Clear; generally a person being audited, who is thus on the road to Clear; a person who, through Dianetic and Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life.
AUDITOR: A person trained and qualified in applying Dianetics and/or Scientology processes and procedures to individuals for their betterment; called an auditor because auditor means “one who listens.” An auditor is a minister of the Church of Scientology.
COMMUNICATION CYCLE: A completed communication, including origination of the communication, receipt of the communication, and answer or acknowledgement of the communication. A communication cycle consists of just: cause, distance, effect, with intention, attention, duplication and understanding.
AUDITING COMM CYCLE: This is the auditing comm cycle that is always in use:
1)is the pc ready to receive the command? (appearance/ presence),
2) auditor gives command/question to pc (cause, distance, effect),
3) pc looks to bank for answer,
4) pc receives answer from bank,
5) pc gives answer to auditor (cause, distance, effect),
6) auditor acknowledges pc,
7) auditor sees that pc received acknowledgement (attention),
8) new cycle beginning with (1).
CHARGE: The stored quantities of energy in the time track; stored energy or stored or recreatable potentials of energy. The electrical impulse on the case that activates the meter. Harmful energy or force accumulated and generated in the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had.
MENTAL MASS: Mocking up matter, energy, space and time. Its proportionate weight would be terribly slight compared to the real object which the person is mocking up a picture of.
FLOATING NEEDLE: A floating needle is a rhythmic sweep of the dial at a slow, even pace of the needle. It can occur after a cognition, blowdown of the tone arm, or just moves into floating. The pc may or may not voice the cognition. In Dianetics the auditor will only indicate the F/N when full end phenomena of the process has been reached.
MENTAL IMAGE PICTURE: (Already defined earlier)
LOCK: A mental image picture of an incident where one was knowingly or unknowingly reminded of a secondary or engram. It does not itself contain a blow or burn or impact and is not any major cause of misemotion. It does not contain unconsciousness. It may contain a feeling of pain or illness, etc., but is not itself the source of it.
SECONDARY: A secondary is a mental image picture of a moment of severe and shocking loss or threat of loss which contains misemotion such as anger, fear, grief, apathy or “deathfulness.” It is a mental image picture recording of a time of severe mental stress. It may contain unconsciousness.
ENGRAM: A mental image picture of an experience containing pain, unconsciousness, and a real or fancied threat to survival. It is a recording in the reactive mind of something which actually happened to an individual in the past and which contained pain and unconsciousness, both of which are recorded in the mental image picture called an engram. It must, by definition, have impact or injury as part of its content. These engrams are a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full unconsciousness.
INCIDENT: The recording of an experience, simple or complex, related by the same subject, location or people, understood to take place in a short or finite time period such as minutes or hours or days.
DURATION: Length of time; time during which anything continues. (Thorn dike Barnhart Dictionary)
CHAIN: A series of incidents of similar nature or similar subject matter. … A series of recordings of similar experiences. A chain has engrams, secondaries and locks. Example — Head injury chain in the sequence encountered by an auditor and run by R3RA — sporting goods display window seeing it (lock), losing a bat (secondary), hit in the head with a bat (engram). The engram is the earliest date, the secondary a later date, the lock the most recent.
ERASURE: 1. The action of erasing, (rubbing out) locks, secondaries or engrams. 2. Apparent removal of the engram from the files of the engram bank and refiling in the standard bank as memory.
POSTULATE: A conclusion, decision or resolution made by the individual himself; to conclude, decide or resolve a problem or to set a pattern for the future or to nullify a pattern of the past. … We mean, by postulate, self-created truth. A postulate is, of course, that thing which is a directed desire or order, or inhibition, or enforcement, on the part of the individual in the form of an idea. … Postulate means to cause a thinkingness or consideration.
COGNITION: A pc origination indicating he has “come to realize.” It’s a “What do you know? I…” statement. A new realization of life. It results in a higher degree of awareness and consequently a greater ability to succeed with one’s endeavors in life.
FLOW: An impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. The progress of particles or impulses or waves from point A to point B. A progress of energy between two points.
SOLID: When the meter needle is not floating the TA is registering mass, mental mass. When you see a TA going up, up, up you know the picture isn’t erasing but is getting more solid. Strongly put together; hard; firm.
AFFINITY: Degree of liking or affection or lack of it. Affinity is a tolerance of distance. A great affinity would be a tolerance of or liking of close proximity. A lack of affinity would be an intolerance of or dislike of close proximity. Affinity is one of the components of understanding; the other components being reality and communication.
REALITY: The agreed upon apparency of existence. A reality is an data that agrees with the person’s perceptions, computations and education. Reality is one of the components of understanding. Reality is what is.
COMMUNICATION: The interchange of ideas or objects between two people or terminals. More precisely the definition of communication is the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point, with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication of that which emanated from the source point. The formula of communication is: cause, distance, effect, with attention and duplication. Communication by definition does not need to be two-way. Communication is one of the component parts of understanding.
ARC BREAK: A sudden drop or cutting of one’s affinity, reality or communication with someone or something. It is pronounced by its letters A-R-C break.
PROBLEM: Anything which has opposing sides of equal force; especially postulate-counter-postulate, intention-counter-intention or idea counter-idea; an intention-counter-intention that worries the preclear.
PRESENT TIME: A specific problem that exists in the physical universe now, on
PROBLEM: which a person has his attention fixed. … Any set of circumstances that so engages the attention of the preclear that he feels he should be doing something about it instead of being audited.
WITHHOLD: An undisclosed harmful (contra-survival) act.
MISSED WITHHOLD: An undisclosed contra-survival act which has been restimulated by another but not disclosed. This is a withhold which another person nearly found out about, leaving the person with the withhold in a state of wondering whether his hidden deed is known or not.
EXAMINER: Preclear Examiner. The person in a Scientology church to whom preclears are sent immediately after any auditing session.
The Examiner says nothing to the preclear in this situation, noting only what the pc’s tone arm position and state of the needle are on the E-Meter and recording what the pc says, if anything. The Examiner is also the person a preclear sees if he wishes to make any sort of statement regarding his case, or if there is something he wants handled regarding his case.
