Yeah, it’s really strange, Aquamarine. I had auditing from the 70s and off and on into the 90’s. All before the three swing rodeo.

But then, in the mid 2000s, I got an intensive and couldn’t understand why I couldn’t really put a comm line in with the auditor. Why I’d sit there and feel like I wasn’t doing something right because I’d KNOW my needle was floating but no one would call it. I’d get that frown on my face of, “what’s going on here?” and wonder if he needed more. Wonder if I did it wrong. Wonder if I just didn’t understand auditing well enough. Wonder if the AUDITOR didn’t understand auditing enough….etc.

It puts you in a figure-figure quandry because you know that something just isn’t right. I think that most people’s inclination is to think that something must be wrong with them.

I’ve gotten auditing by the “trained by LRH” auditors since being out and, right away, I noticed the change, right away. Higher ARC and ‘easiness’ from the auditors and more comfort for me because I could put a comm line in with the auditor and they CARED what I had to say! And they were VERY free about calling my FNs, even in the middle of things, just to make sure that I knew my needle was floating. Lovely.

So there IS something wrong with the auditing inside. But the declared SPs know how to do it per LRH. Who’s the squirrel now?

Anon – you are so right. I had a big cognition just reading your post. Will somebody say, “End of session” for crying out loud? 😀 😀 😀 xoxo

Anon – Right. Self-determinism is the name of the game, just that in Scientology, it is no longer limited to things like which restaurant you want or which movie to see. Auditing is, as you say, a very specific action (set of actions) to get rid of unwanted charge, and to resolve (with some knowledge of the data in Scn) areas one was not able to resolve as they occurred. (I didn’t think anyone was going to reply – I appreciate yours. This blog really isn’t good for continuing discussion, so I won’t be checking back here, I just wanted to ack your reply,) – Carcha

Reading all of these comments about what auditing and Scientology actually are (spiritually speaking) is exactly why the church has been going in the wrong direction for so many years, maybe even from the beginning. It ran itself as a business, not a spiritual enlightenment group. And so many people are unaware of what the technology actually is.

You hear often “I just read this _____ and totally blew charge like it was a real session!!!!!!”

But people blow, move and create charge and energy everyday. All day. In fact, you are doing something with energy as you sit and read this comment.

Holding a set of cans doesn’t automatically put you in “charge blowing mode.” In session, you are doing something you do at any point of the day, even by yourself. Just understanding how to blow charge makes you better able to do it.

To answer the question above, you can create sur facs at any point of your spiritual journey, even an hour after completing Grade 4. You could even recreate yourself a brand-spanking new reactive mind after going Clear, if you wanted.

For the “still-believers” in the spiritual side of the tech, you should know that “Completing OTVII” doesn’t make you invincible for all eternity, as the church liked to sell you.
You can do whatever the hell you want, at any point of your existence, anywhere you are, both good and bad.

Getting rid of any “unwanted charge” as auditing was designed to do, just helps make all the above more enjoyable.

Dear FOTF2012, re your post above “There is conjecture that the e-meter creates an endorphin effect and possibly long-term remodeling of the brain, given enough exposure.”

I have done thousands of hours of un-metered auditing on others with fantastic results. In fact, prior to ANY Scientology or Dianetics training this lifetime, I audited hundreds of hours, un-metered on myself, starting at age 7 (yes, age seven). I started “solo-auditing” out engramic charge on myself in a totally darkened room for approximately 30 minutes at a time, and would end session when I felt at least very relieved, if not fantastic. I continued my un-metered soloing for almost 24 more years.

So, I have long ago proven to myself that it is not an electronic meter that has made me and so many others whom I have audited, feel great.

I hope this data can be helpful with the further exploration of conjectures that “…the e-meter creates an endorphin effect and possibly long-term remodeling of the brain, given enough exposure.”

Amen Hallie Jane!

A beautiful entreaty, Oracle. I second that motion!

“One begins to win by living, rather than lose.”

Lovely sentiment Les.

Nonsense. Atheism is the rejection of a point of view. It does not have different deities, LRH, Jesus or Mithras, It is non belief, not alternative belief.
