THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATION IN AUDITING

The brilliance preceding great discoveries is often the insight which posed the right question—perhaps one so “obvious” it never occurred to anyone to ask. Newton may have “discovered” gravity only because he was the first to question why all bodies fall to the Earth.

In a similar way, but in the spiritual realm, auditing leads to personal revelation by posing precise questions based on the Scientology cosmology. In seeking for his answer, the parishioner discovers intrinsic truths about life and the underlying factors of existence which transcend the physical universe.

Yet there is another factor in auditing which is even more important: the role of communication itself.

Communication is indeed necessary to all aspects of life; but the understanding of communication in Scientology goes far beyond any ordinary concept of the commonplace exchange of ideas in social intercourse.
