Ranting a bit...
Roger, you have a lot more perseverance than I.
Years ago on a.c.t. Alan posted some fantabulous rundowns and advices. I seriously doubt anyone jumped on the offerings to run the stuff. The Cult De- oppression Rundown was a major undertaking and piece of work. I could see that Alan had covered all the bases. But did anyone do the rundown? Never heard back on that from anyone else on a.c.t.
It must have been frustrating for Alan.
It takes time to bang out a thoughtful, considerate, respectful, technically workable post. Nary a response used to give me a "WTF?!" My patience vanished.
Some years back my pc and I put together a Florida FZ Conference. (Even though I am not a FZer I do not mind hanging a bit with that crowd.) She spoke with many people who seemed to show interest. Only a handful showed up. What was the drawing card? The pc had been raving that I was the best auditor in the world. I think the conference was free, held at our expense at a local motel. During the weekend I offered metered interviews. I offered to set up co-audits. I offered to train and C/S--all for free. In the end, my pc and I were left to ourselves. Hence my short, usually to-the-point posts. Call me Mr. No-Sympathy. I am the cowboy who is tired of leading thirsty horses who will not drink the water.
So when it comes to banging out a lengthy post, the type of which you are doing, I applaud you. You have far more generosity and perseverance than I.
Years ago, on a.c.t., Alan remarked that all that was hoped for with the old GPM processing could be attained with an alternation of Clean Slate Drill and SPIEPER. Nothing could be more simple. Any takers? I thought not.
Admittedly, it is far more fun, far more energizing, and potentially far more rewarding to co-process in an environment were lots of co-processing is occurring. So if anyone is starting up from scratch, you do have my sympathies on that.
Probably the key thing that people don't get when it comes to processing has much to do with the way Hubbard sold it: He sold Standard Tech. He sold processes and Rundowns, and, often, pie-in-the-sky results. That's not to say some of us did not taste of the pie, but it was not a "standard" pie, for one and all. Hubbard chewed people up, used them, abused them, and when they had nothing left to offer, he spit them out. You can't sell your people under those circumstances because they might just be here today and gone tomorrow. Best stick with selling process and One's Own Greatness, Mankind's Best Friend, FLAG The Friendliest Place On Earth, The Mecca of Technical Perfection--and all that splendid horse shit.
To my way of thinking, processes and rundowns are just a structure around which auditor and pc might exercise their communication contract, around which pie in the sky might be tasted, around which the pc might discover and attain own goals and purposes.
So the important thing here is not process or rundown; how many of us have had a sour one of those things? The important thing is the relationship between auditor and pc. Either you feel a sense of trust in your auditor or not. You can communicate to and with your auditor, or not. In the HGC, you pretty much get the auditor you are assigned, and the auditor gets the pc's that are sent to him/her--pretty much. Why? It's the organizational structure. It's the efficiency. It's removing emotion from the equation. If you are trying to get the stats up you don't want to hear any complaining from the people about who wants whom for an auditor or pc.
Now that most of us are no longer associated with the church and hubbard's methods, there is a choice. And in that choice you will find out if you trust and can communicate with your auditor. And your auditor, if he is honest, will cut you loose if he feels he cannot communicate and help you.

And I really think that Clean Slate and SPIEPER is super simple and will take you far--if processing is your thing.

How does it KNOW?. Is it watching your eyeballs to see where your pupils are angled. :confused2: That's how fused with the energey field of the immediate space these folks are on crack.
