In 1972 I was co-auding Dianetics at Celebrity Center on the HSDC at CC in LA (Hubbard Standard Dianetics Course). This was the first auditing I ever received (besides running R1 and R2 processes on myself while reading all of LRH's books, which I did before I ever entered a Scientology Organization)
The first 10 hours, or about 3 sessions, I spent running this-lifetime incidents. It really improved my recollection of my early childhood and so on... and then in about the 3rd session the incident I was running wouldn't resolve (go back to basic) in this lifetime, so I jumped onto the whole track and then we really made progress.
In total, I had about 100 hours of Dianetic auditing using R3R on 3 flows (the additional 4th flow or quad flows was put in years later).
The interesting thing is that at about the 50th hour I got to the end of a chain, reached "EP" (the End Phenomena) on some ordinary "pain and unconsciousness" chain and I suddenly fully exteriorized with full perceptics. I said to my auditor something like, "I am a few feet over my head looking down on my body and I can see I am holding cans and the E-meter and I can see you too." and then I opened my eyes (you ran R3R with your eyes closed).
Anyway, when I opened my eyes I found my student co-auditor absolutely bug-eyed looking at me, then the meter, then me, then the mehter. (He was looking at the e-meter needle has a certain pattern when someone pops out of their body) He ended the session and we went to the examiner. This was everything I ever wanted from Scientology.
I fully exteriorized and from then on I knew I HAD a body and that I was different than the body. It changed my whole life. That was 1972.
Years later I heard that Dianetics was not the 1st auditing people got anymore. This broke my heart. I heard it had faded from view in many ways, none of which I understood because I did not continue my career as an auditor past 1975, except for solo auditing. Anyway, for me, not getting Dianetics as my 1st auditing action would have been a very bad idea.
I highly recommend getting Dianetic auditing, where ever it is delivered..

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.
