AN AUDITOR AND “THE MIND’S PROTECTION”

No auditor should audit with the fear that he will do some irreparable damage if he makes an error.

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health provides the answer to the question “What happens if I make a mistake?”

The following extracts are from Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Book 3, Chapter 1, “The Mind’s Protection”:

“The mind is a self-protecting mechanism. Short of the use of drugs as in narcosynthesis, shock, hypnotism or surgery, no mistake can be made by an auditor which cannot be remedied either by himself or by another auditor.”²

“Any case, no matter how serious, no matter how unskilled the auditor, is better opened than left closed.”
