CLEARING COMMANDS

1. when running a process newly or whenever the preclear is confused about the meaning of the commands, clear the commands with the preclear, using the dictionary if necessary. The auditor reads the commands one at a time to the pc and asks the pc "What does this command mean to you?" (HCOB 14 Nov 65)2. clear the commands (or questions or list items) by first clearing in turn each word in backwards sequence of the words in the command. (e.g. if command is "Do fish swim?" clear "swim" then "fish" then "do.") This prevents the pc starting to run the process by himself while you are still clearing the words. (BTB 2 May 72R)
