THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMM CYCLE
IN REGULAR AUDITING AND CYCLES OF
ACTION IN SOLO AUDITING

There is a difference between regular auditing (where the auditor and pc are two separate persons), and Solo auditing. One does not have to be skilled in Auditor’s TRs 0-IV in order to be a good Solo auditor. A Solo auditor’s skills are covered in HCOB 26 Apr 71 II, SOLO COGNITION’S. TRs 0-IV and the Auditing Comm Cycle apply to regular auditing where the auditor and pc are two separate people. The idea that a Solo auditor would have to mock himself up as “the auditor” and mock himself up as “the pc” is erroneous. Nor does the Solo auditor have to try to be two different people, nor does Solo auditing consists of “talking to oneself”.
In order to understand Solo auditing better, read and demonstrate each of the following definitions until you understand each of them:
Auditing Comm Cycle: “This is the auditing comm cycle that is always in use: 1) is the pc ready to receive the command? (appearance, presence); 2) auditor gives command/question to pc (cause, distance, effect), 3) pc looks to bank for answer (itsa maker line, 4) pc receives answer from bank, 5) pc gives answer to auditor (cause, distance, effect), 6) auditor acknowledges pc, 7) auditor sees that pc received ack (attention), 8) new cycle beginning with (1)” (HCOB 30 Apr 71 AUDITING COMM CYCLE)
Auditing Cycle: The basic of auditing is an auditing cycle which operates as an attention director. Call it restimulator if you want, but it’s an attention director, eliciting a response from the pc to as-is that area and who knows he has done so when he receives from the practitioner an acknowledgment that it has occurred. That is the auditing cycle.“ (SH Spec 189, 6209C18) 2. “There are basically two communication cycles between the auditor and the pc that make up the auditing cycle. They are cause, distance, effect with the auditor at cause and the pc at effect, and cause, distance, effect, with the pc at cause and the auditor at effect . These are completely distinct one from the other. “ (HCOB 23 May 71R IV, Rev. 4.12.74 Basic Auditing Series 4R COMMUNICATION CYCLES WITHIN THE AUDITING CYCLE )
Communication Cycle: 1. “A cycle of communication and two-way communication are actually two different things. A cycle of communication is not a two-way communication in its entirety. In a cycle of communication we have Joe as the originator of a communication addressed to Bill. We find Bill receiving it and then Bill originating an answer or acknowledgment back to Joe and thus ends the cycle.” (DIANETICS 55! page 82) . “A communication cycle consists of just cause, distance, effect with intention, attention, duplication and understanding. “ (HCOB 23 May 71R IV, Rev. 4 .12.74 Basic Auditing Series 4R COMMUNICATION CYCLES WITHIN THE AUDITING CYCLE)
Cycle of Action: l. “The sequence that an action goes through, where in the action is started, is continued for as long as is required and then is completed as planned.” (Scientology Abridged Dictionary )
(The definitions above are taken from the Technical Dictionary.)
In Solo auditing the Auditing Question or Auditing Command is provided in the materials. The Solo auditor has to ensure that he understands the Auditing Question or Auditing Command, gets the answer to the question or carries out the command, and recognizes that he has done so and completes that cycle. Solo auditing mainly consists of carrying out cycles of action. This is easy to do as these are given in the materials, and it consists of doing what the materials say to do.


VERBALIZATION

The Solo auditor does not verbalize questions or commands in solo auditing. It is done on a thought or intention level. There is a solo auditing action in which the Solo auditor calls items verbally, but otherwise solo auditing is not verbalized.


METER ERROR

In Solo auditing the meter, worksheets and materials must be arranged so that the solo auditor can read the meter at the same time as he reads the question or item in the materials. This is because the question or item will read on the meter when the solo auditor reads the question or item in the materials. One should not ignore the meter read when first reading the question or item in the materials. This is especially true when checking reads on Ruds, or doing a BPC Assessment, as the read might not repeat. The initial read when the question or item is first read and understood by the Solo auditor is taken. This is because the read occurs when the Solo auditor thinks the question or concept of the item.
Another meter error could occur if the Solo auditor didn’t understand the question or item. You could get a reaction because the question or item was misunderstood. And if the question or item is misunderstood, then you wouldn’t be able to audit it. Therefore it is very important that the Solo auditor knows to clear the meanings of words in auditing commands and items.


SOLO DRILLS

The Solo Drills are designed to familiarize the Solo auditor with the tools of Solo auditing, and to become skilled so that when the time comes to start Solo auditing, he can put his full attention on the auditing and thus be fully in session.
