Chapter 6

The running of “Black and White” is very simple: simple to do, easy to audit.

The best auditing and the fastest by far is done with the E-Meter. The meter practically runs the case. Most important, it spares the auditor from too close a concentration on his preclear’s reactive mind, the only aberrative thing about auditing.

“Black and White” can be self-audited, but in this case the E-Meter becomes quite vital.

Tell any preclear to “see” if he can find a “white area” around him. He will perceive, clearly or weakly, a blackness or a spotty black-whiteness, a grayness, or a whiteness around him, above him, or below him. It may be in patterns or there may be color in it. You don’t want ANYTHING but WHITENESS.

Tell the preclear to “turn it all white”. He will find that if he puts his attention in the center of the sphere, or if he pushes or pulls a little, he can get the field white.

Tell him to keep it white. He will have to change and shift his attention around in the field but he can do it. If his attention keeps slipping off, the field will turn black on him. Keep telling him to put his attention back on the place that turns the area around him white.

If you have him on a meter, as you should, you will be able to “read” exactly what is happening.

If the needle steadily climbs to the left (rises), he is keeping the field white. The incident is running out.

If the needle stops or is “sticky”, he has a large section of black in the field he must make white. The incident, with black in it, is not running out.

If the needle rises and jerks suddenly to the right(drops), he has just gotten a somatic and the suddenness and amount of the drop measure the amount of pain.

To audit, all you do is make him keep the field white. Black spots will appear just before the somatic hits. Theoretically, the entire incident could be run without somatics simply by keeping it white.

The aesthetic wave is all you want out of the incident. This gone, the rest vanishes. It is like having a heavy curtain hanging by a thin strip. Cut the strip and you cut down the whole curtain.

┌─────────────────────┐ ══ Aesthetic
├─────────────────────┤
│                     │ ══ Reason - Postulates
│                     │
│                     │ ══ Emotion

│                     │ ══ Effort
└─────────────────────┘

Run the aesthetic band only. The incident is gone. Run out the heavy electronic incidents and all heavy facsimiles go, for only an electronic can keep a thetan aberrated and form a base “sticky” enough to cause other incidents and locks to stay in present time or restimulate.

When the preclear cannot get the field, an electronic flow is bouncing him. Get his attention to the flow source and keep putting it back every time it bounces until he can manage it. Or, unburden the case with concept running, for if he cannot get white, you must take off some of the “upper” burden of locks by concept running.

What of boil-off???

Boil-off, that sinking into grogginess or even unconsciousness, cannot be permitted. It wastes time and does no good.

How to stop it? Your pc is sending or receiving a white flow. If he stays at it until after he should have reversed it, it goes black and he will start to boil. By quickly shifting the flow of attention or direction of motion in the incident, whiteness returns and the tendency to “boil-off” vanishes.

Hence, by discovering the source of boil offs and how to stop them, we save much time.
