Hmmm... close, but not exact.
Auditing has nothing at all to do with training... two different areas
completely.
About the only thing that approaches the type of auditing you describe are
ethics sessions... but those are VERY rare.
99% of auditing is asking the person to recall incidents of past emotional
or physical pain (the infamous engrams) and if after going over it a few
times the response on the e-meter doesn't diminish in intensity, that is an
indication that there is an earlier, similar incident... so you have them go
back to the earliest incident of a particular type. That, btw, is how
people end up "recalling" incidents in past lives.
Once a person is "clear" (no engrams?), the auditing becomes a self directed
thing... there is no auditor, you do it yourself, holding the cans in one
hand and using the other to adjust the meter to keep your response in
range...
These standard questions are written on a work sheet... these are the "OT"
(operating thetan) levels.
I'm not really sure exactly what the meter is reacting to on the OT
levels... the stuff sounds so silly it's completely unbelievable... souls
(thetans) being trapped by advanced electronic means and implanted with
desires for physical bodies... happening long long ago in a galaxy far far
away.
It really doesn't much matter how you try and twist it, there isn't any type
of brainwashing going on. What is there is information (mostly non true...
and non verifiable) being presented and then the real experience of
auditing.
The package was slick enough to hold my interest for two or 3 years in my
youth... but in the end it was still just a bunch of people operating on
faith, like any other religion. I could have spent those years at an ashram
and gotten just as much out of it.
As far as ethics investigations go... the E-meter is a very very inaccurate
lie detector. Nobody with any brains thinks that it actually works as one.
Real lie detectors don't work very well.
Where is Halperin's truth machine anyway?
