The following order and number of Prepcheck Buttons should be used wherever “an 18 button Prepcheck” is recommended. Do not use the old order of buttons, not because of any danger, but these below are slightly more effective. The old order of buttons may still be used.
The full command is usually “(Time Limiter) (on subject) has anything been____” or “is there anything you have been_____” for some of them which don’t fit with “has anything been _____”. The (on_____may be omitted. The Time Limiter is seldom omitted as it leads the pc to Itsa the Whole Track. On an RRing goal found and used in R3SC the Time Limiter “In this Lifetime” can be used with good effect. All Service Fac questions or Prepchecks must have a Time Limiter.
In running R4 (R3M2), pc’s actual GPMs, the goal and RIs are Prepchecked without a Time Limiter as pc is on the whole track anyway. But in all lower levels of auditing, particularly when using a possible goal as a Service Fac, the Time Limiter, usually “In this Lifetime _____”, must be used or pc will become Over Restimulated.
For all uses the 18 Prepcheck Buttons now are:
It will be noted that the first 9 are the Big Mid Ruds used as “Since the Last Time I audited you has anything been_____?”
To get the Meter clean on a list during nulling the list the easiest system is to show the pc the list and just ask, “What happened?” This saves a lot of Mid Ruds.
When trying to get an Item to read the two buttons Suppress and Invalidate are sometimes used as a pair.
To get a pc easier in session the buttons Protested and Decided are sometimes used as a pair.
Mid Ruds (called because Middle of Session was the earliest use + Rudiments of a Session) are less employed today because of the discovery that all Dirty Needle phenomena is usually traced to the auditor having cut the pc’s communication. To get rid of a Dirty Needle one usually need ask only, “Have I cut your Communication?” or do an ARC Break assessment if that doesn’t work. A Dirty Needle (continuously agitated) always means the auditor has cut the pc’s Itsa Line, no matter what else-has happened.
Chronically comm chopping auditors always have pcs with Dirty Needles. Conversely, pcs with high Tone Arms have auditors who don’t control the Itsa Line and let it over-restimulate the pc by getting into lists of problems or puzzlements, but a high Tone Arm also means a heavy Service Fac, whereas a Dirty Needle seldom requires Mid Ruds or Prepchecks. It just requires an auditor who doesn’t cut the pc’s Itsa Line.
The following buttons and order were the original buttons and may still be used, particularly if the pc is allergic to Mid Ruds:
