PROCESS
A set of questions asked by an auditor to help a person find out things about his or her life. More fully, a process is a patterned action, done by the auditor and preclear under the auditor's direction, which is invariable and un-changing, composed of certain steps or actions calculated to release or free a thetan. There are many processes, and these are aligned with the levels taught to students and with grades as applied to preclears, all of which lead the student or the preclear gradiently to higher understanding and awareness. Any single process is run only so long as it produces change and no longer.

Why It Matters
Processes are the core tools of Scientology auditing, aligned with training levels for students and grades for preclears, all leading gradiently to higher understanding and awareness. The discipline of running a process only while it produces change ensures efficient progress without overrunning.
