Antony Phillips has asked me to write a short introduction to the presentation of the Two Happiness Rundowns. I'm glad to oblige.

I suspect that most of us who came into Scientology did so with a personal aim of greater self and pan-determinism, and a broader aim of having society at large benefit in the same way. We accepted that the CofS was also in alignment with this aim. There is an early lecture where LRHL. Ron Hubbard espoused exactly this and where he then went on to declare - and from the sound of it he had his hand on his heart - that he would never ever put any curves into the subject; meaning that no covert agenda was being hidden from us. We could trust him on this, he said.

We took it all at face value. And we had our gains from the subject. I certainly did - and way "beyond my wildest dreams" too - just on the lower grades. I will be eternally grateful for the benefits I gained. And yet . . . and yet I always found it a trifle odd that the subject that espoused self determinism and pan-determinism was being delivered by an organisation where these very same qualities seemed to be anathema. The organisation demanded obedience, compliance and money. It tolerated no independent thought or viewpoints on anything. But I, and all others too, explained it all away.

Then the Happiness Rundown came to be, and more than any other rundown I know of, this one really did deliver on self determinism and on regaining confidence in one's own viewpoint on life. It was so successful in this that a schism in the CofS resulted from it - the 1982 Independent movement. People left in droves. Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). members could almost be guaranteed to blow-v. ''Slang'' unauthorized departure from an area. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 II) their billion-year contracts after receiving the rundown. I saw this happen myself.

Management was fully perceptive of this connection between the HRD and the schism and they acted with venom in getting rid of the rundown and its developer. They cancelled the original version and re-issued it - with one significant omission. All questions were to be checked for read before running them. But hey! That's a requirement of Standard Tech, isn't it? You only runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) charged items. This is standard practice.

Precept one of The Way To Happiness. It has five sub-precepts, each of which is normally "cleaned" when auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) The Happiness Rundown. (A page of the first edition of the book.)

But hang on a bit. Just what is "charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more" and how is it formed in the mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE? Charge is electrical energy, or potential energy. In normal physics it is formed by the holding in place of two opposing terminals - one positive and one negative. In this casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) here we are referring only to the electrical energy that is in the mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE. In the mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE, just as in physics, it is formed by two opposing potentials. So, for example, the two opposing forces of (a) life happening to someone, and (b) that person's protest against it, create opposing flows, one of push and another of pull. This generates energy, and this energy is stored as charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more in the Reactive Mind.

Note that where there is no protest there is also no charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more. Where he agrees with the way life is happening to him - no charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more results. The formation of charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more is entirely dependant on his opposition to the flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more that is imposed upon him. No matter how nutty or insane that flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more on him may be - if he agrees with it, there will be no charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more. But if he resists it there will be.

And where there is no charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more there is also no read on the meter2. Hubbard Electrometer. An electronic instrument for measuring mental state and change of state in individuals, as an aid to precision and speed in auditing. The E-meter is not intended or effective for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. (Scn AD)...more, no matter how insane the thing he agrees with is. And so in this way these most aberrated agreements the preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. a spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) ''Abbr.'' PC has made will never get runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) in auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975). Never. Because they will not read. This fact is fully covered in LRHL. Ron Hubbard materials.

This means too that at some stage in auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) the auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn. An auditor applies standard technology to preclears. 3. a person who through church training becomes skilled in the successful application of Dn and Scn to his family, friends and the public to achieve the ability gained as stated on the Gradation Chart for his class of training...more must deliberately ignore the absence of meter2. Hubbard Electrometer. An electronic instrument for measuring mental state and change of state in individuals, as an aid to precision and speed in auditing. The E-meter is not intended or effective for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. (Scn AD)...more read on a preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life.

PC, and just auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) him on something that has come up because it is nuts. The HRD was exactly the rundown that hunted out and dealt with these non-reading insanities.

And this was thrown out and replaced with something that ignored these insanities in the preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. a spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) ''Abbr.'' PC. That's what we have with the original HRD being thrown out and the new and corrupted version being introduced. What we have is a curve being inserted into Scientology. A hidden agenda was hereby introduced into the subject. Someone there did not want us to become more self-determined. Someone wants us to agree to go on being other-determined.

Was this the only time that such a trick was played on us in Scientology? Unfortunately, no. There are numerous others. I'll give you one more because we encounter this one so often.

We all know the datum that people who blow-v. ''Slang'' unauthorized departure from an area. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 II) have overts. That's the reason they blow-v. ''Slang'' unauthorized departure from an area. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 II) - they have overts stemming from misunderstood words. Here's the Tech Dictionary on the subject:

BLOW, defn 4. departures, sudden and relatively unexplained, from sessions, postsA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200), jobs, locations and areas. (HCOBHubbard Communications Office Bulletin (technical bulletin) Also colloquially referred to as "red on white" HCOB's are always red ink on white paper. 31 Dec 59)—v. Slang. [The] unauthorized departure from an area, usually caused by misunderstood data or overts. (HCOBHubbard Communications Office Bulletin (technical bulletin) Also colloquially referred to as "red on white" HCOB's are always red ink on white paper. 19 Jun 71 III)

Misunderstood word phenomena are described fully under the headings of First Phenomenonwhen a student misses understanding a word, the section right after that word is a blank in his memory. You can always trace back to the word just before the blank, get it understood and find miraculously that the former blank area is not now blank in the bulletin. The above is pure magic. (HCO PL 24 Sept 64) and Second Phenomena in the Tech Dictionary:

FIRST PHENOMENON, when a student misses understanding a word, the section right after that word is a blank in his memory. You can always trace back to the word just before the blank, get it understood and find miraculously that the former blank area is not now blank in the bulletin. The above is pure magic. (HCO PLHubbard Communications Office Policy Letter (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R) 24 Sept 64)

I always wondered whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II) they go blank just after the MU word. It was to be many years before I spotted the simple answer to it.

SECOND PHENOMENON, the second phenomenon is the overtAn intentionally committed harmful act committed in an effort to resolve a problem. (SH Spec 44. 6410C27) cycle which follows a misunderstood word. When a word is not grasped, the student then goes into a non-comprehension (blankness) of things immediately after. This is followed by the student’s solution for the blank conditionA condition is an operating state. (SH Spec 62, 6505C25) which is to individuate from it—separate self from it. Now being something else than the blank area, the student commits overts against the more general area. These overts, of course, are followed by restraining himself from committing overts. This pulls flows toward the person and makes the person crave motivators. This is followed by various mental and physical conditions and by various complaints, fault-finding and look-what-you-did-to-me. This justifies a departure, a blow-v. ''Slang'' unauthorized departure from an area. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 II). (HCO PLHubbard Communications Office Policy Letter (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R) 24 Sept 64)

Again, no explanation for the blankness nor for the individuation from the group. LRHL. Ron Hubbard's omission here is glaring at us. What is missing is any mention of the ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Triangle. A misunderstood word is a no-communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more. This is an ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Break with the materials, right there. The break in Communication leads to a drop in Reality and Affinity and a consequent drop in the student's Havingness on the materials being studied. A non-confront results.

Hence, a blankness.

Hence, separation from the group - an inevitable consequence of an ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Break.

And it is only after this ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Break remains unhandled that he starts to commit overts against the course or the group.

Why was this ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Break not mentioned by LRHL. Ron Hubbard? Why is there never a suggestion that it should be dealt with? I find it utterly inconceivable that he did not know about it. Clearly, at the basis of any person blowing an area is an ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Break.

This omission is another curve thrown into the subject, and there are others too. This short introduction is not the place for discussing them all.

However, and apart from what I have said above, we must also recognise that merely running ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more Breaks on such a student can never be an adequate handling of the issue.

There can be no doubt that the basic pattern and technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech of Scientology is correct. I have seen and experienced too much of it to ever doubt that. LRHL. Ron Hubbard did his work well. Better than anyone else has ever done it. But there are curves in it. There are omissions.

Part of the task facing members of the broader Freezone is the recovery of lost Tech and the correction of incorrect Tech. And then there is also the development of new techAbbreviation for technology. The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65). Much of this last one has been done - much more still needs to be done.

Posting the two versions of the Happiness Rundown on this board is a major step in educating Freezone auditors. But on its own it is not enough. I think it would require the setting up of a proper training facility to get all of the HRD recovered and into use, since it was so much more that just this matter of running unreading items. The massive emphasis that was placed on Basic Auditing - proper TRs and commSlang, short for - communication cycles and being in full rapport with the preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life.

(HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) ''Abbr.'' PC, the safe environment, and so on - these all played an enormous part in the success of the rundown. The need for such a training facility is apparent.
