As people come into Scientology (and they are coming in, in very swiftly increasing numbers, all over the world), normally what they do first is read a book, and then they may read quite a few books, and go around and about Scientology for some time. They attend some of the introductory courses, and then they get some processing—often beginning with Dianetics. Their IQ goes up, their abilities increase, they become more capable of handling their lives.
And when one then decides to be an auditor, he or she goes to an Academy of Scientology and studies and learns how to audit and so help others.

The principle is incidentally quite new. The essence of a gradient is just being able to do a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit more until you finally make the grade.
We live in a world that is desperately in need of some good order. It isn’t aberrations on our part that we say some things ought to be changed. This world is on its way out and somebody had better put one it its place. Just how we go about doing that is up to you and up to me.
