I find it very difficult to come to terms with this theory, which is probably because I still consider what I have read so far and your linguistic explanation to be too mechanistic.
I probably have prejudices about the pigeonholing of the brain. "Mind" in this context is a term that is not clear to me. Therefore, for me, there cannot be an analytical and reactive part, as different parts where one can be "shifted" into the other.
Do I understand this correctly, that tones are worked with? I would be more open-minded if one could show results where a treatment has taken place, but even then, a propband would have to be studied not only over a short but quite a long period of time. And how is he supposed to bring up his improved well-being? How to classify it? That he is better able to curb his impulses (spontaneous "negative" reactions) because of this technique? What about spontaneous positive impulses? I have many questions, but they are not urgent to me. I will probably therefore have problems reading the books in their entirety, as they do not arouse my interest so much, i.e. they tend not to inspire me.
But I thank you for providing me with always new stuff.
SoS is about how to predict behaviors in others, for the actual auditing, ie reducing engrams, that is in Dianetics.
There are lectures that are available that will probably answer most of your questions.
I'd say I am good at this already. HaHa!!! (Kidding a bit)
Though prediction of the behavior of others can make life quite boring. In particular when those others are easy to read/easy to predict. People are indeed easy to predict once you got to know them for a while. It gets harder to surprise one another once you live together, for example. So sometimes I just do something out of order for my husband, for example. Or I answer in an unusual way but I must say it's not easy for myself to change my communication style - practice needed:)
Thanks for the lectures! Good, reading made me a bit tired. Though I really like English.
He uses a lot of vernacular that is specific to dianetics, most of the books have a glossary if you get words you don't understand.
He uses words in specific definitions peculiar to the material, so it's easy to get lost unless you've encountered the terms before.
