NOTE: These processes are obtained from Hubbard’s research in Dianetics and Scientology. For any technical words specific to this research, please consult the Scientology Technical Dictionary.
Grade 4 processes follow Grade 3 Processes. The person’s confront is now high enough to handle some of the fixations he could not handle earlier.
Grade 4 focuses on moving out of fixed conditions and gaining abilities to do new things. The Grade 4 processes zero in on the person’s fixations still remaining and bring them up to awareness with the help of Listing and Nulling. Freeing the person up from his fixations brings a big change in his life.
For example, the process, “In this lifetime what do you use to make others wrong?”, help the person zero down to an item. The person then contemplates on this item with the help of the subsequent commands for this process. The person now has a high enough confront to realize his fixation and get rid of it.
In general, the person runs these processes with Subject Clearing approach. In this approach, neither an auditor nor an E-meter is required. The person simply contemplates over the process command using the Subject Clearing discipline (see The Book of Subject Clearing).
The EP (end phenomena) of any process is simply a sense of having made some progress. With Subject Clearing approach the person may run a process again if he feels that he can gain more from it. But, if the person already has the awareness that a process provides, he need not run that process.
.
Listing & Nulling
The person applies the Listing & Nulling process as described under Grade 3 Processes. If he finds “his item” then he uses it on the subsequent commands of the Grade 4 process.
If he does not find a definite item, then he runs the items from the list, starting from the top, through the Grade 4 process commands. He does that until he recognizes his fixation and lets go of it.

Instructions
- These processes are run by oneself applying The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness instead of depending on the E-meter.
- In response to the commands of these processes, simply look without thinking. Let the mind present you with the answer. If no answer comes up within a reasonable time, you have reached the EP (end phenomenon) for the moment.
- These commands tend to be general. The better you understand the command and its scope, the more answers shall come up.
- The answers that come up, shall depend on the level of your confront. The higher is your confront the deeper shall be the answers that come up. Your confront improves as you do the processing. After completing a grade, if you repeat it again, you may find some new answers coming up.
- “Repetitive to EP” means you contemplate over the command and acknowledge each answer, until no more answers are coming up.
- “Run alternately to EP” means that you contemplate over the two commands alternatively, until no more answers are coming up.
- “Run the bracket in sequence to EP” means that you sequentially contemplate on the commands provided as a bracket, until no more answers are coming up.
- “To EP” is the abbreviation for the above. When there is a single command you run it repetitively. When there are more than one command, you run them as a group, repetitively.
