The problems of a person on Solo not knowing how to audit gives us a great deal of trouble in AOs as well as SHs.
The R6EW checksheet has been several times revised and at one time incorrectly has included all kinds of implants to study. Also, the materials to be audited have in the past erroneously been issued as part of the R6EW study pack.
In all such Solo courses the person is not issued what he will eventually audit on until he has completed the study pack. He then attests or is examined and having passed, he is given a review session to, mainly, fly his ruds. He is then issued the auditing materials and gets on with his Solo. Where this sequence is violated trouble occurs.
We have also had people glance at the materials to be audited, pick out something that strikes their interest and then go and attest leaving an out grade.
The troubles on Solo courses are
1. Has no real training as an auditor.
2. Is given unnecessary or unhelpful materials to study.
3. Is issued the auditing materials he will Solo audit before he attests to the study materials.
4. Wasn't ready for the grade and will use it to cure an ARC break or ingrown eyelids, these not having been handled in earlier auditing.
5. Doesn't actually audit the Solo materials but attests leaving an out grade.
The above are, by experience, a general rundown of the problems having to do with all Solo grades.
They begin with R6EW. When this is out they have trouble from there on.
The essence of this course is that one is trying to make a Solo auditor, not a person who can audit others.
In 1969 I ordered the HDC materials to go on the R6EW checksheet. Someone re-interpreted this as "The Dianetics Course is a requisite for R6EW Solo" which is wild.
People enrolling on this course are going the Solo route. There are 2 routes, called the Solo and the professional.
Solo auditors must have meter lessons and other theory so they know about mental image pictures. They must also do actual Solo sessions well before going near the materials of the grade.
Thus the Solo Course R6EW breaks down into these requisites:
1. The person as a case to have had all grades up to the level including Dianetics Triples, any other Scn auditing like Class VI auditors use, Scientology Triples, Acceleration and Power. If the student hasn't got all these he'll never make it as a case on Solo. Thus (1) is get grades done below R6EW.
2. The Solo student must be trained on the meter, about the time track, mental image pictures and any other theory needful without
(a) trying to teach him a full Academy Course or
(b) denying him vital data needed in Solo.
He must for instance be able to fly his ruds. So (2) is get theory in and adequately learned.
3. The student must be able to do Solo auditing drills which would begin with drills such as the E-Meter book drills done Solo. These include keeping the admin properly. So (3) is practical Solo drills.
4. The student needs to do actual auditing Solo which help him and his case. These would include running a light lock, cleaning up an ARC break, handling a PTP, doing a clean up on overts (rather than W/Hs). Such sessions would have to go to a Supervisor, each one, for C/Sing. When he can actually handle himself Solo, he is then and only then finished with his training. If he still can't Solo audit, require a full HDC course be taken. So (4) is prove he can Solo audit.
5. The student is now issued his auditing materials for the grade. These must not be included in the study pack as he will self-audit on them and not get trained. So (5) is only issue the grade material when all study is complete.
6. When the auditing is done, or session by session as C/S is available, and the student is seen to have actually done it by folder he is permitted to attest. So (6) is don't permit attestation without confirmation of actual auditing.
The checksheets and actions of R6EW (and any other Solo course or grade) must be in keeping with these stipulations or there will be no adequate result from Solo grades.
