Here is some good news and some bad:

After considerable study of the use of SOP Goals by Auditors, it is apparent that the technology, while very effective in the strictly supervised auditing of HGCs is beyond the average training level of the field at this time in TRs, E-Meter and Model Session.

This means that we can do Releasing at once but we are confronted by an enormous retraining programme before broad field auditor clearing can begin. But great advances can be made on cases now with the Change Processes.

My findings indicate that the chief reason auditors fail to handle the E-Meter expertly is to be found in the TR failures, mainly confront.

SOP Goals, to be effective, demands a precision of auditing skill common only in HGCs. SOP Goals is pure dynamite to cases, but it becomes pure backfire when used by a poorly trained auditor.

SOP Goals works too fast to admit of bad technical application. Before SOP Goals becomes effective it must be applied with perfect technical precision.

However, there is no cause here for alarm because concurrent with SOP Goals, I have made another discovery which was released in last week’s HCO Bulletin, Change Processes, which wrap up (really and truly) all cases from “answers intelligibly” to Release.

Thus we have a simple basic process which takes a preclear to Release, a basic accurate test for Release (all brackets of change nul on the needle), and another full process package from Release to Clear in SOP Goals.

This gives us the most orderly division of training levels we have ever had and rather smooths out what we do, where we go and why.

Training to perfection in the use of TRs, Model Session and E-Meters and CCHs.

One Basic Process taught: Change Processes.

Goal of Auditing: Release.

Level of training for HPA/HCA: To accomplish without exception the state of Release in all pcs audited.

Training to perfection in the use of the E-Meter in SOP Goals.

One SOP taught: SOP Goals.

Goal of Auditing: Clear.

Level of training of B. Scn/HCS: To accomplish clearing in persons who have already obtained a State of Release.

Training in theory and practice of Dianetics and Scientology and the use of advanced meters.

Processes Taught: Theta Clearing.

Goal of Auditing: Theta Clear.

Level of training of D.Scn/HGA: To accomplish Theta Clearing in persons who have already attained the State of Clear.

The levels of Release and Clear are established facts process-wise as of now. The level of Theta Clear and Advanced meters is still under research.

I have to hand adequate evidence now to see that auditors can and will audit Change Processes easily and successfully with enormously swift results on pcs.

When all Change Processes are flat on a pc, the State of Release is easily tested and observed.

When SOP Goals is flat on a pc you have a Clear.

Apparently SOP Goals should not be run on a pc by an average auditor until all Change Processes are flat, since many pcs don’t do the actual commands until change is flat.

Thus I am very happy to be able to tell you of lots of wins and orderly progress ahead even if I have to warn you not to run SOP Goals until your pc is a Release and you are a perfect technician.

Any auditor should use all the Change Processes he wishes on a pc, and until Change is fully flat, and until the auditor is perfectly trained in TRs, Model Session and the E- Meter, no SOP Goals should be run.

I hope you are happy with this news. I am.
