Product of Academy Training | LRH vs COB

LRH lays out clearly what he does and doesn’t expect from course graduates at different levels of training:

“When you try to standardize Class VIII style, the Dianetics course, or SHSBC, the Academy Courses, you slow people down to nowhere.”

“New, shorter Level 0-IV checksheets have just been issued. Each checksheet has been stripped down to the key materials the student needs in order to audit that level. Starrates and twin checkouts are not given on these courses.

“The emphasis is on the basics, with tough drilling of the student on the skills of the level he’s studying and then getting him in the chair!”

“You can stuff a student with theory until it’s coming out of his ears but you won’t have an auditor until he AUDITS. You can even put him through all the drills that have ever been dreamed up and you still won’t have an auditor until he AUDITS.”

“The REAL design of training (if anybody would really do it this way) is:
Dianetics: Fast course on technique. Slide by on philosophic data.
Academy: Fast course on technique. Learn all the motions.
SHSBC: A course taking in ALL the data, philosophic, with polishing of technique.
Class VIII: Sharp, rapid STANDARDIZATION of auditing and case supervising with 100 percent gains.”

“Academies tend to slow or stop students with SHSBC checklists or unreal or altered training and so bar out Scientologists. We don’t expect that much from Academy Grads.”
