SELF ANALYSIS LISTS

1. the lists of questions by which the individual can explore his past and improve his reactions toward life. Dianetically speaking, this self-processing section could be called "straight wire." It is not "auto processing." The reader is actually being processed by the author. (SA, p. 62)2. the auditor is assisted by these lists in that they open a case for the running of engrams and secondaries and raise the preclear on a tone scale. These lists are used repetitively; that is to say the individual goes over them again and again. There is no finite period to the work. The reason the recall of these questions is important is that they reveal and discharge locks which have formed above the basic engrams (moments of physical pain and unconsciousness) and secondaries (moments of acute loss as death of a loved one). The discharging of these locks renders engrams and secondaries relatively ineffective. (SA, p. 62)
