GRAND TOUR

A process for a person who is exteriorized, in which the auditor asks him to be in one place and then another — his home town, then the auditing room, then somewhere else again. Moving between locations at will frees him from craving to be near things and brings more of the world into present time for him.

From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

Usage

The auditor asks the person to be in his home town, then to be back in the room, then somewhere else, and around again. The whole thing can be done in about half an hour.

Why It Matters

It is one of the Route 1 processes, published in The Creation of Human Ability in 1954. The point is not sightseeing; it is that the person finds he can choose where he is.
