RECIPROCAL PROCESSING
HCOB 28 June 2025
The definition for Reciprocal in Scientology is “something that is dissimilar but of comparable magnitude!”
When applied to the mind and in session; the more dissimilar and of comparable magnitude something is, the better.
But usually, one will have the situation where it is one or the other (and not both).
At least initially, because once you have an item that is equally dissimilar and of comparable magnitude to what you are running, you have your item and it will as-is.
The reason this works so well on cases is that these Reciprocal are electronic in nature, so one is essentially running individual “concepts” on all aspects of case phenomena including facsimiles, ridges and entities.
The discovery underlying this breakthrough is that we dropped the running of electronics out of Scientology, and the consequence was cases that would not run or only got worse!
This is also the reason Creative Processing failed as in the late 1960s.
As facsimiles, ridges, mock-ups and entities are all electronics phenomena.
Ones that can only be run and addressed through the running of electronics, in particular, with the use of reciprocals.
Take your random run-of-the-mill facsimile. It has X amount of charge that needs to be discharged in order for it to be as-ised and erased.
By postulating or mocking-up reciprocals of charge — which are of smaller energy potential than our facsimile—multiple smaller discharges occur, that ultimately as-is this picture.
Now, this is not new to us in Scientology (as this data has been with us a long time), but the idea and use of reciprocals is.
If reciprocals are not used, then residual charge will simply discharge against a being or key-in other charge on a case.
The most similar process to this in the past was the use of “telling a lie”, which is a negative form of creation.
There is no need to go into electronics theory further, as it has already been covered in the basics already, but this should provide a clear picture of what is at work here.
Reciprocal processing works equally well on PCs and pre-OTs.
For PCs, reciprocal processing is addressed towards facsimiles.
When it comes to pre-OTs - it is applied to entities.
I will provide the processes for both, but before I do, there is one concept that should be clearly understood.
That is Telepathy!
Telepathy is defined as “the ability to experience and communicate with something from a distance.”
With pictures, we do this “up close” and through the viewpoint of a body.
Entities are experienced “from a distance”, and the viewpoint of a thetan.
This is an important distinction because many have confused entities with other phenomena originally encountered and addressed with NOTS.
So, for the record, only standard entities (ridges that think they are beings) are addressed on the upper-levels - and this is done via telepathy as defined above.
This new theory and tech is hereafter referred to as New Era Scientology For Thetans (NEST).
Reciprocal Processing For PCs
Reciprocal processing for PCs is run by asking:
Two above is asked repetitively until the facsimile as-ises, then one is asked again and the process is repeated.
This is continued until the standard EP of VGIs, F/N, and Cogs are achieved.
Things can then be left off until the next session.
Now, this can be applied to all other types of grade and objective processes.
One does not have to reinvent the wheel with this, those processes are run exactly as they are written, except with the addition of “what is reciprocal of this?!”
An auditor simply asks “what object, ARCX, O/W, etc., a being is connected to telepathically”, and then “what is reciprocal of this?”
This is continued until a pc achieves the state of clear and the upper-levels can be run.
Reciprocal Processing For Pre-OT’s
Reciprocal processing for pre-OT’s is run by asking:
One is done by scanning the space around a being until an entity reads.
It should be noted that entities can occupy the same space.
and just because a space doesn’t have an entity that reads, one can read in the space later.
Step two is asked repetitively until a read occurs - this will be what an entity (ridge) is being.
“who are you” has been dropped out of this sequence of commands (which was a part of NOTS), since it is not workable with step three.
Three is asked repetitively until the entity is discharged and as-ises.
The whole process is then repeated until Standard EP, at which time the session can be left off.
While this can also be integrated into the OT levels (with the exception of NOTS, which it replaces) it is not recommended.
Instead, once all entities are handled on a case, Creative - Reciprocal processing and Route one and two (with reciprocal processing integrated) should be used instead.
Creative - Reciprocal Processing
The discovery of reciprocal processing has once again made creative processing viable and effective.
It appears this was the missing link in processing mock-ups, as it is not enough to just mock things up, but they have to be reciprocal mock-ups to as-is charged areas of case.
This works based upon the principles mentioned earlier and is no more complicated.
Creative - Reciprocal Processing is run with:
Two is run repetitively, and the process to EP.
Integration With COHA
This is self-explanatory and done in the same manner as it is for the lower-levels.
One simply integrates reciprocal processing with the processes located in COHA.
As of this writing, I have not done this formally but will at some point in the near future.
Until then, one can use any of the COHA processes if they choose to, all that is needed is to make-up reciprocals to handle any charge encountered.
In Closing
Understand that this is all deceptively simple for you to run, do not make it more complicated than it needs to be.
Granted, things will never be completely smooth at all times, but you can turn things into a relative nightmare by not following these simple guidelines.
The lower-levels are not so much of an issue, although you can run into a LOT of trouble on the upper ones.
DO NOT make the mistake of believing entities are real or live beings, because they are not. They are ridges that happen to think and cannot be addressed through normal processing (only NEST).
Also, do not make the mistake of believing progress is not being made because the gradient is different with NEST processing than the rest of the tech.
Take a week off from processing and you will see for yourself!
While there is no liability of repair actions with NEST, some beings can become upset by too much processing.
Initially, most beings cannot handle so much effective processing on a daily basis - while some others can.
This is the only liability and it can be easily remedied through scheduling and a gradient a being can handle.
That being said, we now have a fully debugged and effective bridge with NEST. All theory and application are fully corrected!
Now comes the fun part. Making OTs and expansion!
I look forward to you joining us. You are desperately needed.
