ABCD

reference to four steps of Routine 3 Revised, Engram Running by Chains, used to run through an incident as needed after the incident has been contacted and gone through the first time. The letters stand for the commands which the auditor gives the pc: (A) "Move to the beginning of the incident," (B) "Tell m e when you are there," (C) "Scan through to the end of the incident," (D) "Tell m e what happened." If the incident is the earliest incident on that chain, this procedure is repeated until the incident erases. Repeated use of these commands when the incident is not erasing (rather than finding an earlier incident on the chain) is called "grinding." —ExDn Lectures Approved Glossary: Expanded Dianetics (30 March 1972)

Used in the lecture to illustrate the effect of trying to handle a misunderstood word which has lots of earlier misunderstood words connected with it. See also chain and grind in this glossary. Do you see? "ABCD, ABCD." Clean up the word the. "ABCD, ABCD, ABCD." Oh, God! "Use it in a sentence again.

1. these are the steps designation of the second run through of R3R as given in the commands for R3R. Usually the auditor simply writes ABCD on his worksheet which shows he has given the command required and designated under A, under B, under C, under D, as and when he gives them to the preclear. (LRH Def. Notes)2. after the first time through an incident in Dn and when pc has recounted it, the auditor tells pc,A "Move to the beginning of the incident."B "Tell me when you are there."C When pc has said he is, "Scan through to theend of the incident."D "Tell me what happened."
