The cost varies from individual to individual depending
on which route to Clear one takes.
One route is to pay for professional auditing and get
audited all the way up to Clear. The preferred route,
however, is to get trained as an auditor and co-audit
with another Scientology student. The co-auditing route
to Clear requires far less donations than professional
auditing plus one helps another to progress. As
professional auditing is much more expensive for the
organization to deliver (requiring several staff to
service one parishioner) the donations are necessarily
higher. Training donation rates are much more economical

without cost to the state of Clear.
No matter which route one chooses to achieve the state of
Clear, all who have attained it express the pricelessness
of the increased spiritual freedom they have achieved.
