“No applicant will be accepted at Saint Hill or should be accepted by any organization for training or processing who is not there on his or her own self-determinism but who has been ordered to training or processing by an organization or who has been compelled to undergo training or processing by a manager, judge, relative or anyone other than the applicant.”

HCO PL 10 February 1964
Enrollment on Self-Determinism
(OEC Vol 4, p. 323)

“Orders to auditing or training may not be made as a sentence or used in an ethics court or by a Comm Ev or any other reason. Auditing and training are awards.”

HCO PL 29 April 1965, Issue III
Ethics Review
(OEC Vol 1, p. 744)

“Let me teach you something about tech in relationship to ethics.

“We say that when admin is out, tech is out; and when tech is out, ethics is out. This is very true. But it backs up one more. Tech had to be out in the first place.

“It’s actually a four-point cycle, not just the three.”

“The public stays away from orgs in droves which alter technology.”

“Bad tech makes it almost impossible to get pcs or students in.”

For students and pcs who run into stops, LRH designated org terminals as diverse as the Qual Consultant, Chaplain, Ethics Officer, ARC X Auditor, Call-In IC, and registrar. Each is trained in different skills to help debug the public and get them moving again.

Forcing public onto auditing lines, however, has never been part of any LRH tech.

Starting in the mid 90s, and growing in frequency since, there have been reports of public being threatened with sec checks, Comm Evs, denial of OT Levels, and even, in two instances, SP declares, if they did not route into the HGC immediately.

The same approach has been used to force public onto training. In the case of Golden Age of Tech retreads, this took the form of suspending the I-HELP licenses of two field auditors in Clearwater, one in New York, and three in L.A., until they routed onto course. As most of these auditors were Class VIIIs, they obviously demonstrated no resistance to training prior to this.

As LRH reminds us, in a standardly-run org, one cannot keep students and pcs away. When heavy ethics has to be used to procure them, this is a sure indicator of out-tech.
