The L Rundowns — known as the Ls — are a special class of auditing rundown in independent Scientology. Each rundown is designed to terminatedly handle a specific area of a person's case. They are not grades in themselves, but incredible boosters to beingness, doingness and havingness in life.
These levels were made originally by L. Ron Hubbard for executives, to boost their power without doing the entirety of the auditing actions available. The basic technology comes from research into increasing OT powers. They increase a person's ability and effectiveness in life by magnitudes, through the use of an auditing technique called listing and nulling — one of the most effective and powerful auditing techniques ever developed.
The Three Ls — Have, Do, Be
The three Ls roughly divide into Have (L10), Do (L11) and Be (L12). Each addresses a different area of resistiveness.
L10
Have
On L10 we handle the main valences that make a person restrain his havingness. L10 does not have a fixed program; it contains a number of different possible ways of getting items.
L11
Do
On L11 we handle the evil purposes that keep a person from acting — the factors that suppress the capacity to actually do.
L12
Be
On L12 we stabilise a person's certainty of being himself, freeing him from what makes him less himself and less causative as a thetan.
Introduction to the Ls
The Ls were developed as a result of research into the levels above OT VIII. The success of the Ls is startling. These rundowns can handle things that are handled nowhere else. The breakthrough which exists here technically is so strong that it actually cuts through the normal protective mechanisms of the mind. It came actually from the OT Grades. It answers the question: why does an OT restrain himself and cease to behave as an OT?
Part of the discovery was that this technology could be used lower down on the Bridge to get people up it faster — very much faster. The Ls address the basics of a thetan's case directly. They undercut the reactive mind and handle those factors which suppress the capacity to actually Do, Be and Have. They remove those things that can make a person less himself and far less powerful and causative as a thetan. These rundowns are designed to find and erase the basic counter-intentions along one's dynamics. They stabilise a case.
Purpose of the L Rundowns
The Ls are intended to handle out-valence and evil purpose cases. We are handling the main areas of resistiveness that are stopping the person from expanding. Our main targets are valences and evil purposes: we gradually make the person realise that they are not him, and thereby free him from them.
The Ls are tailored to the individual. Every preclear might not need all the steps, and some preclears need extra steps.
Prerequisites
Grades 0–IV, or an OT III completion. The route to those grades is mapped on the Grade Chart, and AOGP delivers them remotely — see auditing and training.
Delivered Standardly and Certified
Delivering the Ls is a rarity in the independent field of Scientology. Those who deliver them are few and far between; some deliver them non-standardly, and there are those who deliver them uncertified. AOGP rose to the challenge to make sure we could deliver them to you standardly and certified.
The Ls require an expert to run them. The auditor's TRs have to be perfect and there is no room for flubs — these rundowns are not run on a preclear or pre-OT until the auditing is flawless.

History of L10
In 1970 L. Ron Hubbard tested an experimental process called Acceleration, which consisted of running down prior ARC breaks preceding engrams.
During the period of late 1970 to early 1971, a pilot project called the PTS Project was undertaken under his direct supervision.
The result was a set of case actions which, if done standardly, could result in the release of a thetan's full potential. These actions were later known as the L Rundowns.
Auditing is a religious and spiritual practice aimed at gains in awareness and ability. It is not medical or psychological treatment, makes no claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and is not a substitute for professional care.
