After OT 3 completion -

1. In Ethics
2. Lower Bridge case fully handled
3. Competent auditor

Before allowing someone onto Excalibur - check for the following:

1. Out ethics - use Ethics tech and FPRD as needed
2. Unflat lower Bridge - Apply HCOB 30 June 1971 Expanded Green Form GF 40XRF
3. Incompetent auditor - cram and train as needed

The above prerequisites are an advice from Ron communicated on 16 April 2002.

All of the skills of a Dianetic auditor and a Class 4 auditor will be needed on Excalibur.
The reason is - you are auditing Thetans and they can get stuck in any mental aberration.

To set up the case for Excalibur, handle any resistive case points that are out. Assess the GF 40XRF and handle all reads.

 

The Reason

The common denominator of the above prerequisites is a skipped gradient.

Handling Excalibur case is a very high gradient of ethics, case level, and auditor skills.

The idea of a gradient is that you master each lower step on the gradient before going on to a higher step. The key word there is master. When you do not master the lower steps and then move on to a higher step on the gradient, you fall on your head, you can’t do it, you fail at it.

Those who have started Excalibur and are fumbling around and falling on their head, will just have to tough it out and learn as they go. That means they will have to study and learn ethics and auditing skills that they should have mastered before starting Excalibur.

If it is really bad, then you can take them off the level to handle the skipped gradient. In this case, use Review Auditing to handle the current case the solo auditor restimulated but did not handle. That ends him off on a win and no stuck attention on the incomplete Excalibur cycles that he started but could not finish.

For those who have not yet started Excalibur, the smart thing to do and the kind thing to do, is to check the 3 prerequisites above and handle it before allowing them on the level.
