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 checksheets 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:

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.
