Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

Processing is the application of a procedure to bring about an improvement in a person’s condition. In Subject Clearing, the processes have been obtained from the study of Vedic Hinduism, Buddhism, Psychoanalysis and Scientology.

In Subject Clearing, you can always go back to a previously applied process and run it again.

Process

This Subject Clearing process explores the concept of auditing. 

Look up these words in the sequence given below.
AUDITING, RETURNING, STRAIGHTWIRE, MOCK UP, CONCEPT, LISTING, AUDITING BY RETURNING, AUDITING BY STRAIGHTWIRE, AUDITING BY MOCK UP, AUDITING BY CONCEPT, AUDITING BY LISTING, PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS, ANOMALY, FACSIMILE, SOMATIC, ATTENTION, CONFRONT, CHARGE, ARC, AUDITING QUESTION, END PHENOMENON, REPETITIVE TO EP, FLOWS, ALTERNATIVELY TO EP, BRACKET, COMMUNICATION, SELF-ANALYSIS LISTS.

You may look up their definitions from Regular or Scientology dictionary. The subject cleared definitions for these concepts are provided below.

Contemplate on these concepts until you are fully satisfied with your understanding. If you come across an anomaly handle it with Subject Clearing Process 6 (Viewpoint).

AUDITING
Auditing of the mind involves accessing the unassimilated content of the mind and assimilating it in the mental matrix. This action may be compared to handling bugs in a computer program. In Dianetics and Scientology various processes are used to accomplish auditing. In Subject Clearing, the approach is to spot anomalies and resolve them by looking at them more closely.

RETURNING
Returning is the technique in which a person mentally goes back and re-experience an incident. His mental capacity reduces to that in the incident. In other words, in returning, a person’s attention is totally absorbed in the unassimilated impression.

STRAIGHTWIRE
In straightwire, or straight memory, a person is not returning to some past event. Instead he stays in the present time and confronts the sensations that are present. To confront is to face without flinching or withdrawing. As he confronts the sensations they start to assimilate and resolve into perceptions of past events and considerations.

MOCK UP
When a person is mocking up, he is putting together something mentally. He is making a postulate and giving it a form by reorganizing the perceptual elements in the mental matrix. The mock-up then exists in space and time. All scientific theories, such as, the atomic theory, have been mocked up this way.

CONCEPT
A concept is a general notion or idea. It is that which is retained after something has been perceived. Concepts form the basis of mock-ups. For example, one may have the concept of an atom as a very small particle.

LISTING
The person lists a number of items in response to a “Who” or “What” question. He than arranges those items in some logical order that appeals to him. This then helps him select the most appealing item in response to the question. It also provides him with an order in which to deal with those items. See The Listing Process.

AUDITING BY RETURNING
This was the technique used in Dianetics. The auditor commands the attention units of a person to return to an incident that needs to be assimilated. The person searches for the incident in his past. When all his attention units are in the past he becomes part of the incident when found, and he cannot evaluate and assimilate the incident without auditor’s assistance. This required a lot of skill on the part of the auditor.

AUDITING BY STRAIGHTWIRE
This is the technique used in Scientology. The person’s attention remains in present time. The auditor provides the auditing question and keep’s the person focused on it till it is fully answered. The person looks at the answers that come up and gives them to the auditor. The straightwire can be done by the person himself with some discipline without the auditor.

AUDITING BY MOCK UP
This technique is also used in Scientology, especially with children. One cannot perceive the contents of a facsimile because it is not assimilated. But one can mock up something to see if it matches the facsimile in its effects. This may take some trial and error but it helps resolve the facsimile.

AUDITING BY CONCEPT
A person commonly is able to obtain a concept much more easily than he can obtain a specific memory.In this technique, a person holds a concept in his mind, and scans his experience to see what anomalies come up, and then resolves them by looking at them more closely. One may also run an emotional concept this way, such as, not liking dogs. The person may also look at how a concept changes as one moves up some scale, such as, the Know to Mystery scale or the Tone Scale. 

AUDITING BY LISTING
This technique is used on higher grades of Scientology. The person lists a number of items in response to a “Who” or “What” question. He then arranges those items in a logical order that appeals to him. This then helps him select the most appealing item in response to the question. After handling that item, he may rearrange the remaining items in a new list to select and handle the item that is most appealing now. One does this until the original question is fully addressed.

PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS
Oneness does not imply sameness. Oneness means that all that is known is continuous, consistent and harmonious. This Principle of Oneness underlies the very concept of the universe. It also underlies the Scientific method. This principle gives us the ideal scene for logic, because its violation gives us anomalies. 

ANOMALY
An ANOMALY is any violation of the Principle of Oneness, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

FACSIMILE
When a sensation is difficult to break down, it remains as a copy (facsimile) of what was sensed. It does not get assimilated into the mental matrix; and therefore, its contents are not available to perception. But it gets activated being embedded in the mental matrix, and acts as an unknown influencer of computations. Such computations, and actions based on them, cannot be corrected without discovering and assimilating the facsimile. 

SOMATIC
A somatic is an anomaly that is traced in Dianetics. It is essentially a pleasant or unpleasant awareness of the body. It includes pains, aches, dizziness, physical discomfort, and even unconsciousness.

ATTENTION
Attention is directed awareness. It goes to whatever needs to be resolved. At first, it gets fixated on resolving the situation, but, upon failing, it becomes unfixed and sweeping at random.

CONFRONT
To face without flinching or avoiding.

CHARGE
Charge refers to the degree of confusion, tension, or conflict in a person’s case. It manifests as the lower emotions of anger, fear, grief or apathy on the tone scale. A heavily charged case means a case with a heavy burden of unassimilated losses. 

ARC
ARC stands for affinity, reality and communication. Affinity is the degree of familiarity one feels toward something. Reality is the degree of perception of that thing. Communication is the degree of being in touch with that thing. Together, these three factors represent Understanding.
