    THE MAGIC OF THE COMMUNICATION CYCLE



       (From the LRH tape 6 Feb. 64,

   "The Communication Cycle in Auditing")





If you look over communication, you will find that the magic of 

communication is about the only thing that makes auditing work.



The thetan in this universe has begun to consider himself mest 

and has begun to consider himself mass, and the being that 

considers himself mass of course responds to the laws of 

electronics and the laws of Newton. He is actually incapable of 

generating very much or as-ising very much.



An individual considers himself mesty or massy and therefore he 

has to have a second terminal. A second terminal is required to 

discharge the energy.



Here we have two poles. We have an auditor and a pc, and as long 

as the auditor audits and the pc replies, we get an exchange of 

energy from the pc's point of view.



Many auditors think they are being a second terminal to the 

degree that they pick up the somatics and illnesses of the pc. 

Actually, there is no backflow of any kind that hits the auditor, 

but if he is so convinced that he is mest, he will turn on 

somatics in echo of the pc. Actually, nothing hits the auditor; 

it has to be mocked up or envisioned by him.



You have set up, in essence, a two-pole system, and that will 

bring about an as-ising of mass.



It isn't burning the mass; it is as-ising the mass and that's why 

there is nothing hitting the auditor.



Now, that is the essence of the situation. The magic involved in 

auditing is contained in the communication cycle of auditing. You 

see, now you are handling the SMOOTH INTERCHANGE BETWEEN THESE 

TWO POLES.



When you look over the difficulties of auditing, realize that you 

are handling simply the difficulties of the communication cycle, 

and when you yourself as the auditor do not permit A SMOOTH FLOW 

BETWEEN YOU AS A TERMINAL AND THE PC AS A TERMINAL, AND THE PC AS 

A TERMINAL BACK TO YOU, you get a no as-ising of mass. So you 

don't get TA action.



Part of the trick, of course, is what has to be as-ised and how 

do you go about it, but that we call technique -- what button has 

to be pressed. We find, oddly enough, if the auditor is actually 

capable of making the pc willing to talk to him, he wouldn't have 

to hit a button to get tone arm action. (He cannot make the pc 

get tone arm action basically because a communication cycle 

doesn't exist.)



The person who is insisting continuously upon a new technique is 

neglecting the basic tool of his auditing which is the

communication cycle of auditing.



When the communication cycle does not exist in an auditing 

session, we get this horrible compounding of a felony of trying 

to get a technique to work but the technique cannot be 

administered because there is no communication cycle to 

administer it.



Basic auditing is called basic auditing because it goes PRIOR to 

the technique.



A communication cycle must exist before the technique can exist.



The fundamental entrance to the case is not on a level of the 

technique but is on a level of the communication cycle.



Communication is simply a familiarization process based on reach 

and withdraw.



When you speak to a pc, you are reaching. When you cease to 

speak, you are withdrawing. When he hears you, he's at that 

moment a bit withdrawn but then he reaches toward you with the 

answer.



You'll see him go into a withdraw while he thinks it all over. 

Then he reaches the reason. Now he will reach the auditor with 

the reason and he will say that was it.



You have made an exchange from the pc to the auditor and will see 

it reflect on the meter because that exchange now is giving an 

as-ising of energy.



IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT COMMUNICATION YOU DO NOT GET METER ACTION.



So, THE FUNDAMENTAL OF AUDITING IS THE COMMUNICATION CYCLE. That's

the fundamental of auditing and that is really the great discovery

of Dianetics and Scientology.



It's such a simple discovery but you realize that nobody knew 

anything about it.
