I of course would not recommend anyone do this rundown out of sequence on their case.

Pros
This past spring of 2012 I sought out a CL 9 auditor in the Independent field to audit me on New OT 5. I was thrilled that I was directed to a longtime friend and veteran SO auditor, Gary Webber, now auditing in the field! I have found Gary to be a stellar, standard auditor. It's been a very long time since I've felt as safe and duplicated and cared for by a tech terminal as I have been with Gary. Heck, he even let's me take a nap on his couch and use his kitchen to prepare the unending snacks one needs to stay sessionable. And he audits me at reasonable hours that fit my resting and wake periods. I mention this because I've been audited at both Flag and AOLA and find it a nightmare to be a pc on their line-ups. The freedom to rest and eat and lounge without harassment at Gary's house I think is far more standard and conducive to the auditing than anything I've ever experienced at any of the orgs.
That said, I recently had begun suffering from some very heavy chronic pain in my gut. It was beginning to be very frightening as it was interfering with my work and becoming far too frequent. One of course starts imagining the worst, cancer? Perforated colon? Etc etc. and I didn't want to go to a doctor who would only have the choice of cutting or drugging to handle the condition, whatever the condition was. During my most recent OT 5 session about a month ago, we addressed this gut pain. By the end of the last session the pain was GONE, I mean GONE! I was stunned!
So, I went home, still a bit in disbelief that the pain would be gone so suddenly and completely. But here it is a month later and I have experienced no relapse, not even a twinge in the area where the pain had previously been. It was a miracle I had hoped for and expected from this rundown.
Thanks to my incredible incredible auditor, Gary Webber, my c/s and of course to LRH for this precious rundown. Certainly NO THANKS goes to RTC who did NOT keep this tech pure and accessible in the church!
Cons
It is incredibly expensive to do this rundown in the C of S making it almost unattainable to the average person.
Self Analysis (August 1951): Possibly the best introduction to the subjects of Dianetics and Scientology. Self Analysis contains both a series of essays on the basic discoveries Ron had made up to this point in his research as well as an extensive auditing section that a person can do by themselves right at home. The book contains a special version of the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation and a series of tests one can do to discover where you're really at. Then, by applying the processes from the second half of the book, one is guided through a path of self-discovery. At the end, you will re-do the tests to confirm your improvement. How good can you get? These techniques have been in use for more than six decades and Ron referred to them again and again throughout his research, stating that the processes here were capable of curing any neurosis.
This is the starting point for anyone wanting auditing. You will be audited by L. Ron Hubbard himself through the pages of this book.
