Scientology auditing is ministered in a specific sequence which handles the major barriers people encounter when trying to achieve their goals. After receiving auditing, you will start to recognize for yourself that you are changing, that your outlook on life is improving and that you are becoming more able. In Scientology, you will not be told when you have completed an auditing level — you will know for yourself, as only you can know exactly what you are experiencing. This gives you the certainty that you have attained the spiritual advances that you want to attain from each level.

There will also no doubt be some outwardly demonstrable or visible changes that occur: Your IQ may increase, you might look healthier and happier, and may well have people comment on how calm or cheerful you look or, for instance, how you are doing better on your job.

We are not making any claims for Dianetics or Scientology. When you have experienced what can be, it is you who will make the claims.

Does auditing really work in all cases?

Dianetics and Scientology technologies are very exact and well-tested procedures that work in 100 percent of the cases in which they are applied in 100 percent accordance with L. Ron Hubbard’s direction as preserved in the Scientology scripture.

The only proviso is that the preclear must be there on his own determinism and must abide by the rules for preclears during his auditing to ensure optimum results. The Church makes no guarantee of results as auditing is something which requires the active participation of the individual. Auditing is not something done to an individual — it is something done in which the individual is the active participant.

What auditing handles physical pains or discomfort?

Dianetics auditing is used to help handle physical pains or discomfort stemming from the reactive mind.

What can auditing cure?

Scientology is not in the business of curing things in the traditional sense of the word. Auditing is not done to fix the body or to heal anything physical, and the E-Meter cures nothing. However, in the process of becoming happier, more able and more aware as a spiritual being through auditing, illnesses that are psychosomatic in origin (meaning the mind making the body ill) often disappear.

Can one go exterior (be separate from the body) in auditing?

Exteriorization is the state of the thetan, the individual himself, being outside his body with or without full perception, but still able to control and handle the body.

Exteriorization is a personal matter for each individual. Many Scientologists have been known to go exterior, so it would not be at all surprising if you do too at some point during your auditing.

This can happen at any time in auditing. When a person goes exterior, he achieves a certainty that he is himself and not his body.
