Over the next four years, several additions were made to the 1954 Code,
one of which appeared in the book _Dianetics 55!_. Another was released
in Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin of 1 July 1957, ADDITIONS TO
THE AUDITOR'S CODE, and two more items were added when the Auditor's
Code of 1958 was published.
The Auditor's Code 1968, released in October of that year, was issued
as a Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter. It was released in
celebration of the 100 percent gains attainable by standard tech.
Hubbard Communciations Office Policy Letter 2 November 1968, AUDITOR'S
CODE, added three more clauses to the Code.
The final version of the Code was published by Mr. Hubbard on 19 June 1980.
The Auditor's Code is a fundamental tool of not only auditing but of life.
As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in _Dianetics_, "The Auditor's Code outlines the
*survival conduct pattern* of man. The Clear operates more or less
automatically on this code." Because the basic axioms of Dianetics and
Scientology comprise the fundamentals of thought itself, what works in
auditing also works in life.
-----
I hereby promise as an auditor to follow the Auditor's Code.

following the policies of the Claims Verification Board, if the
preclear is dissatisfied and demands it within three months after
the processing, the only condition being that he may not again be
processed or trained.

The Code of Honor
The Code of Honor first appeared in Professional Auditor's Bulletin 40
on 26 November 1954. As Mr. Hubbard himself explained:
-----
"No one expects the Code of Honor to be closely and tightly
followed.
"An ethical code cannot be enforced. Any effort to enforce the
Code of Honor would bring it to the level of a moral code. It cannot
be enforced simply because it is a way of life only as long as it is
not enforced. Any other use but self-determined use of the Code of
Honor would, as any Scientologist could quickly see, produce a
considerable deterioration in a person. Therefore its use is a luxury
use, and which is done solely on self-determined action, providing one
sees eye to eye with the Code of Honor.
"If you believed man was worthy enough to be granted by you
sufficient stature so as to permit you to exercise gladly the Code of
Honor, I can guarantee that you would be a happy person. And if you
found an occasional miscreant falling away from the best standards you
have developed, you yet did not turn away from the rest of man, and if
you discovered yourself betrayed by those you were seeking to defend
and yet did not then experience a complete reversal of opinion about
all your fellow men, there would be no dwindling spiral for you."
"The only difference between paradise on Earth and hell on Earth is
whether or not you believe your fellow man worthy of receiving from
you the friendship and devotion called for in this Code of Honor."
1. Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble.
2. Never withdraw allegiance once granted.
3. Never desert a group to which you owe your support.
4. Never disparage yourself or minimize your strength or power.
5. Never need praise, approval or sympathy.
6. Never compromise with your own reality.
7. Never permit your affinity to be alloyed.
8. Do not give or receive communication unless you yourself
desire it.
9. Your self-determinism and your honor are more important than
your immediate life.
10. Your integrity to yourself is more important than your body.
11. Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make
your tomorrow.
12. Never fear to hurt another in a just cause.
13. Don't desire to be liked or admired.
14. Be your own adviser, keep your own counsel and select your
own decisions.
15. Be true to your own goals.

The Code of a Scientologist
The Code of a Scientologist was first issued as Professional Auditor's
Bulletin 41 in 1954. In it, L. Ron Hubbard provides a Scientologist
with guidelines in dealing with the press and in fighting for human
rights and justice through social reform. It is a vital code for any
Scientologist active in the community. The code was reissued in 1956
in the book _Creation of Human Ability_. Revised in 1969 and again in
1973, the code is given here in its final version.
-----
As a Scientologist, I pledge myself to the Code of Scientology for the good
of all:
1. To keep Scientologists, the public and the press accurately informed
concerning Scientology, the world of mental health and society.
2. To use the best I know of Scientology to the best of my ability to
help my family, friends, groups and the world.
3. To refuse to accept for processing and to refuse to accept money
from any preclear or group I feel I cannot honestly help.
4. To decry and do all I can to abolish any and all abuses against
life and Mankind.
5. To expose and help abolish any and all physically damaging practices
in the field of mental health.

philosophy or data which would help Mankind.

groups.
14. To teach Scientology at a level it can be understood and used by the
recipients.

its applications and variations in the humanities.
16. To insist upon standard and unvaried Scientology as an applied
activity in ethics, processing and administration in Scientology
organizations.
17. To take my share of responsibility for the impact of Scientology
upon the world.
18. To increase the numbers and strength of Scientology over the
world.
19. To set an example of the effectiveness and wisdom of Scientology.
20. To make this world a saner, better place.

The Supervisor's Code
Just as auditors must follow a code of conduct, so too does the
Supervisor in a Scientology course room. Unlike teachers in many
traditional classrooms, Course Supervisors do not set themselves up
as "authorities" who tell their students what to think, or espouse
their opinions on the subject. Instead, students are guided to find
the answers for themselves in Dianetics and Scientology materials.
In the following code, Mr. Hubbard sets forth the key guidelines that
ensure instruction in a Scientology course room is standard and
professional, with maximum benefit to the students. This code is
followed by Supervisors in churches of Scientology throughout the
world, guaranteeing a high level of training in the technology. It was
first published in 1957.
-----
1. The Supervisor must never neglect an opportunity to direct a
student to the actual source of Scientology data.
2. The Supervisor should invalidate a student's mistakes ruthlessly
and use good ARC [understanding] while doing it.
3. The Supervisor should remain in good ARC with his students at all
times while they are performing training activities.
4. The Supervisor at all times must have a high tolerance of
stupidity in his students and must be willing to repeat any datum
not understood as many times as necessary for the student to
understand and acquire reality on the datum.
5. The Supervisor does not have a "case" in his relationship with
his students, nor discuss or talk about his personal problems
to the students.
6. The Supervisor will, at all times, be a source-point of good
control and direction to his students.
7. The Supervisor will be able to correlate any part of Scientology
to any other part and to livingness over the eight dynamics.
8. The Supervisor should be able to answer any questions concerning
Scientology by directing the student to the actual source of the
data. If a Supervisor cannot answer a particular question, he
