Summary
I shall quote this whole section here:
Standard Operating Procedure for theta clearing is the backbone of processing in Scientology. It is easily followed but the auditor should have an excellent command of all types of processing in order to use it more successfully.
SOP is most easily done and most successfully by an auditor who is a theta clear. Auditors, who are not theta clear, seldom understand it, and a low-toned uncleared auditor who cannot himself leave his body very often acts to pin a preclear inside his body. It is noteworthy that many auditors have been unable to obtain successes with theta clearing before they themselves have been cleared, but immediately after the auditor was cleared, he was successful with each successive case without exception. The fear of some thetans from various causes of leaving the body causes the auditor—who is the thetan—to make other thetans stay in bodies, and it is actually quite dangerous to be audited by auditors who are not theta clears. The process is not dangerous; uncleared auditors are.

Comments
Creative processing divorces all thought from thought of the MEST universe and follows out along a line of the rehabilitation of one’s own universe without attention to the MEST universe. It underlies the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for theta clearing.
SOP does not directly address the physical health of the body, but focuses on improving the viewpoint of the person. The purpose of theta clearing is to stably exteriorize the thetan. To Hubbard this is literally have a thetan existing stably outside the body. But the whole idea is to stably extrovert the attention of the person.
Hubbard is essentially observing that an introverted auditor cannot help another person extrovert. In Subject clearing, this problem is eliminated by the person auditing himself.
