How to Memorize | LRH vs COB

L. Ron Hubbard - Founder of Dianetics and Scientology

LRH — Founder of Dianetics and Scientology

Of the few items auditors were required to memorize under LRH, there were no set rules as to how. One common technique was to memorize five clauses at a time, then put them all together. Other students used whatever system worked for them.

This was in accordance with CS Series 43:

“An auditor can be invalidated by a CS by having a lot of questionable tech points thrown at him.

“…If no decision was ever made is not in HCOBs and tapes… then a CS should not be making the point.

“… Never shake an auditor’s data by advancing data not on HCOBs and tapes.”

Golden Age of Tech drills mandate a very specific way to memorize: the student recites the bulletin to a wall from beginning to end, over and over.

Anyone doing it differently is said to be squirreling and sent to Ethics, even though they have violated no HCOB, PL, or tape.
