You are going to run the Recall Lists from the book Self Analysis very soon. What you will be doing is real auditing. It is a series of Major (case) Actions. Each list is considered a Major Action.

The definition of a Major Action is: Any auditing action designed to change a case or general considerations or handle continual illness or improve ability. 

With this in mind you need to know of the ground rules for doing it right. To this end, let us take a fresh look at some points of the Auditor's Code:

(9) Never let the preclear end session on his own determinism, but to finish off those cycles I have begun.
Comment: The pc can occasionally become scared and want to run away from his Bank. The auditor is there to make sure pc gets through temporary difficulties and reaches the EP of the process. There is a basic rule of auditing: "The way out is the way through".

(12) Always run a major case action to its end phenomenon.
Comment: This is related to  (9), but there is more to it. The auditor has to ensure that the pc gets the full benefits available from a process by not ending off too soon.

(13) Do not run any one action beyond its end phenomenon.
Comment: A process can be overrun, meaning beyond a point where it has culminated (EP'ed). The auditor has to stay alert and know the exact point when the EP is reached.

As you can see each process and each Major Action has a specific End Phenomenon you are working towards.

End Phenomena
The end phenomena of a process are those indicators on the pc and the Meter that tells the auditor that a process has been successfully completed.
The End Phenomena on any major process include:
 PC VGI. That means he is happy. He is at 3.3 on the tone scale or higher at the end of the process.  

Pc has a cognition: that is a new realization. That is a statement like: "I suddenly realize..." Or: "It now became clear to me..." He has realized something new about his life, his past, his relationships and so on. It is a subjective new understanding the pc has obtained as a result of running the process. Sometimes it can be a spectacular life-changing new knowledge. It is not always that spectacular, but it is always a "What do you know!" type of realization. It results in a higher degree of awareness and consequently a greater ability to succeed with one's activities in life.

A Floating Needle. This applies of course only to metered sessions. You learn to run some processes - such as Self Analysis - without a Meter. These processes were designed for that. They could be run with the pc on a Meter as well. If they are, you will see the Floating Needle at the EP.

The Definition of A Floating Needle (FN or F/N): A floating needle is a certain needle behavior on a Meter. It is a rhythmic sweep of the needle over the dial at a slow, even pace. A valid  floating needle is always accompanied by very good indicators in the pc.

So the EP you are looking for when doing unmetered auditing of the Self Analysis Lists are VGI's and Cognition.

Here are some other technical words, that you should have an understanding of, when you run a process like a Self Analysis Lists:

Key-In: Is a moment where an earlier upset or earlier incident has been restimulated and affects pc in a negative way.

Key-Out: The action of a reactive  incident (or many related incidents) dropping away without the mental image pictures being erased. The picture is still there but now far away. The pc feels released or separate from his reactive mind or some portion of it.

Release: A preclear whose reactive mind or some major portion of it is keyed-out and is not influencing him.

Good and Bad Indicators
While the pc is in session or while he is on a program of sessions, there are a long list of Indicators the auditor would look out for. When many Good Indicators are present the pc is doing well. If many Bad Indicators are present the pc would be doing poorly. An auditor will have to learn the lists of Good Indicators and Bad Indicators pretty well. If you see them at the beginning of session or during a session, you should note down your observations in your report as they will give you and the case supervisor an idea of how well your pc is doing.

The Meter
When you learn to use a Meter, it will become an important part of how you can determine how well your pc is doing in auditing. But being a good observer of indicators is a basic skill and of permanent value. These indicators applies, for many of them, to life as well as auditing. The ability to determine by direct observation how somebody is doing goes far beyond the auditing situation, of course.
