SIX LEVELS OF PROCESSING
A 1952 arrangement of auditing into six levels, worked through in order: getting the session set up, then location and not-know processes, then decision, then duplication, then remedying a shortage of communication, and finally havingness and spotting spots in space.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
The auditor works up through the levels rather than starting at whichever one interests him. Progress is judged by rises in affinity, reality and communication as the levels go by.
Why It Matters
This is one of the earliest attempts to lay auditing out as a graded route instead of a collection of techniques. It was published in Scientology 8-8008.
