Date: 18 Sep 1996 04:18:29 GMT Organization: Intex.Net (http://www.intex.net/) Lines: 37 Message-ID: <51nt6l$8jj@animal.intex.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.13.85.40 X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 Many falsehoods and inaccurate statements regarding L.Ron Hubbard and the religion of Scientology have been observed on ars. The purpose of this message is to give you a sample of the true data. ------------- Yes, they are. The auditor maintains and practices a code of conduct known as the "Auditor's Code." This collection of stringently followed rules ensures that the person being audited gets the greatest possible gain from auditing. The Auditor's Code evolved over many years of observation, and it is the code of ethics which governs an auditor's conduct. Auditing is most successful when the auditor acts according to the Code. The auditor, for example, never tells the person he is auditing what he should think about himself, nor offers any opinion about what is being audited. A goal of auditing is to restore the individual's certainty in his own viewpoint; evaluation for him only inhibits attainment of this goal. Hence, it is prohibited by the Code. The qualities instilled by the Auditor's Code are essentially those held to be the best in people. An auditor shows kindness, affinity, patience and other such virtues, to assist the person being audited in confronting areas of upset or difficulty.
