But let’s talk about the tech contained in this book: Exteriorization. Here are the processes not only of OT exteriorization but also the processes based on that same technology that provide the entrance point for every case. The research trail went as follows:
Following the Philadelphia Doctorate Course and Factors, LRH returned to the East Coast of America and specifically – Camden, New Jersey. There he established the first Advanced Clinical Course or ACC. Each course ran six weeks in length and only by invitation to trained auditors. Now, the ACC served this purpose – to provide LRH with auditors to test new processes while allowing him at the same time to supervise those auditors and develop training methods that could make better, indeed, good auditors. Exteriorization had already been accomplished. The problem was two-fold: exteriorization wasn’t stable and second, most auditors couldn’t even apply the skills necessary to run the processes; hence the ACC program beganing with the first ACC in October 1953, the second ACC in November, then moving to Phoenix the 3rd ACC in January and so on – the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th ACC concluding in July 1954.
And what were those processes he was developing for exteriorization? Objectives. Yes, processes like Opening Procedure by Duplication or Book and a Bottle – that’s this period. So just as an aside for anyone who thinks “I’m only on Objectives,” well we’re talking OT breakthroughs applied at lower levels and that’s what it means when we say “Creation of Human Ability” spans the top and the bottom of the Bridge.
More to the point, that 7th ACC had been the breakthrough. He discovered processes every auditor could apply and the training methods to teach them to efficient skill and standard. Thus, in July 1954 he issued the first “Scientology Auditor’s Handbook.” It presents what he termed “Intensive Procedure.” Most of you are familiar with some of its processes even if you didn’t know their source. Over the following months he augmented the manuscript with additional processes and further added the Auditor’s Code and Code of a Scientologist. This expanded and final text would be named “Creation of Human Ability.” At which point all said editions some dictated some hand written were delivered to the type setter and for the next 53 years we had a text wherein chapter eight comes before chapter one.
As for how this one is so stupid, I quote the Axiom on stupidity. “Axiom 38: Stupidity is the unknownness of consideration.” And the person who did this must’ve been utterly unaware of his or her considerations let alone the results. Anyone who has ever read a book knows chapter one is followed by two, chapter two followed by three, and so forth. It doesn’t take a great deal of logic to then deduce that if somebody reads chapter seven or eight of Creation of Human Ability, they would assume it followed chapter five and six, obviously. But here is what happened:
Return to those ACC’s and accompanying each one of them were written publications, bulletins or more often what were called Journals of Scientology. Journals of Scientology were far more extensive than a simple issue, sometimes the size of a small book. And what they represented was an interim publication until the date it was reduced to a book presenting the latest breakthroughs and procedures. Indeed, those bulletins and journals LRH authored during the ACC’s contained the theory and processes LRH then drew from in picking the best for Creation of Human Ability and Intensive Procedure. In that first and formal “Auditor’s Handbook” several of these bulletins and journals appear at the pack of the pack. They provide the full theory for the processes that make up Intensive Procedure given in the Handbook. They were and are references detailing the trail that lead to the refined processes called Intensive Procedure. So for the final hardback publication of Creation of Human Ability LRH had every one of the bulletins and journals he published during the ACC’s gathered up for inclusion at the back of the book whereupon our non-too-conscientious typist decided to make those references to look JUST LIKE THE BOOK. He or she deleted all dates and added chapter numbers. That’s why L'ENVOI – French and meaning "the author's parting words" is followed by a new chapter six yet that chapter six is actually an issue that predates the book by six months, and so it goes through chapter seven to thirteen containing material a YEAR older than Intensive Procedure that comprises the text of Creation of Human Ability and yet appearing to be in advance of that tech due to its later chapter numbering. Actually it’s even more confusing since it appears LRH is repeating himself – many of these chapters containing the processes that were already presented in the earlier pages of the book.
Finally, that’s why the “Forward” appears on page 247. It was the Forward of a Journal of Scientology from June the previous year. Now, we could have just fixed the titles of those incorrect chapters but that’s not how WE do it. If somebody alter-ised one thing, who knows what else? Instead, we took it back to square zero. First, the original Handbook, then LRH’s handwritten, then his added dictation, then added his hand-written edits for the typed dictation, then the typesetter proofs from '54 containing LRH handwritten edits, then the processes he later added, and yes we found alter-is every step of the way.
Next, lay out the book as he intended. It’s the Auditor’s Handbook and Auditing Commands mushed in the middle of paragraphs aren’t too usable so instead of this, we do it like this. By the way, that’s opening procedure by duplication. And another which we do like this. And those references, we found a few more form the time period they forgot to include, and they all appear where they belong at the back of the book labeled “References” – each one with their original name and date, meaning, after you read Scientology 8-8008 you can begin Creation of Human Ability on the first page of the References if you want the intervening data that forms the developmental track of Creation of Human Ability; otherwise, you start on page one and any references you want are at the back of the book labeled as such.

Next, the Phoenix lectures. Yes, they are the companion to Creation of Human Ability. Indeed, they are the lectures LRH handpicked from the 7th and earlier ACC’s to specifically accompany this book, and in this latest search we even discovered a previously unknown final list and that’s why the series now includes 17 additional lectures directly correlating to the book. Sum it up, and that is considerations conquering mechanics – The Creation of Human Ability and Phoenix Lectures and lost tech restored.
