                    DEFINITIONS SHEET



     (The following definitions have been taken from the

     Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary, the

     Basic Dictionary of Dianetics and Scientology, the

     glossary of the book Dianetics Today, from the book

     Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Book

     One, Chapter Two, and from existing HCO Bulletins

     where indicated.)





Use these in conjunction with The Basic Scientology Picture Book. 

If further references are needed when clearing these terms and 

concepts, ensure source materials are used. For any non-

Scientology terms use a good nondinky dictionary.





SCIENTOLOGY:



An applied religious philosophy developed by L. Ron Hubbard 

dealing with the study of knowledge which through the application 

of its technology can bring about desirable changes in the 

conditions of life.



(Taken from the Latin word scio, which means "knowing in the 

fullest sense of the word," and the Greek word logos, meaning 

"study of."



The study of the human spirit in its relationship to the physical 

universe and its living forms. A religious practice applying to 

Man's spirit and his spiritual freedom.



A body of knowledge which, when properly used, gives freedom and 

truth to the individual.



AUDITING:



Processing, the application of Scientology (or Dianetic) 

processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. The 

exact definition of auditing is the action of asking a preclear a 

question (which he can understand and answer), getting an answer 

to that question and acknowledging him for that answer.



AUDITING SESSION:



A period in which an auditor and preclear are in a quiet place 

where they will not be disturbed. The auditor gives the preclear 

certain and exact commands which the preclear can follow.



AUDITOR:



A person trained and qualified in applying Scientology and/or 

Dianetic processes and procedures to individuals for their 

betterment; called an auditor because auditor means "one who 

listens." An auditor is a minister of the Church of Scientology.



CLEAR:



A Clear is a being who no longer has his own reactive mind. (Ref. 

HCOB 14 Dec. 81, THE STATE OF CLEAR)



A being who is unrepressed and self- determined. (Ref: Book: 

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Book One, Chapter 

Two)



The power of auditing is such that the State of Clear is now 

achieved by many through the refined technology of New Era 

Dianetics (NED), delivered by all service organizations of the 

Church of Scientology. Any person who does not go Clear on NED 

has another chance to achieve it on the Clearing Course at an 

Advanced Organization of the Church of Scientology.



PRECLEAR:



From pre- Clear, a person not yet Clear; generally a person being 

audited, who is thus on the road to Clear; a person who, through 

Scientology and Dianetic processing, is finding out more about 

himself and life. Abbreviation: pc.



THETAN:



From THETA (life static), a word taken from the Greek symbol or 

letter: theta, traditional symbol for thought or spirit. The 

thetan is the individual himself-not the body or the mind. The 

thetan is the "I"; one doesn't have or own a thetan; one is a 

thetan.



It is the person himself - not his body or his name, the physical 

universe, his mind, or anything else; that which is aware of 

being aware; the identity which is the individual.



MIND:



A communication and control system between the thetan and the 

physical universe. It is not the brain. The mind is the 

accumulated recordings of thoughts, conclusions, decisions, 

observations and perceptions of a thetan throughout his entire 

existence. The thetan can and does use the mind in handling life 

and the physical universe.



BODY:



The organized physical composition or substance of an animal or 

man whether living or dead.



The body is the thetan's communication center. It is a physical 

object. It is not the being himself.



PICTURE:



An exact likeness of something; a copy or representation of a 

thing, not the thing itself. An image or mental image of 

something.



MENTAL IMAGE PICTURE:



Mental picture; a copy of one's perceptions of the physical 

universe sometime in the past.



A facsimile or a mock-up. In Scientology we call a mental image 

picture a facsimile when it is an unknowingly created picture or 

"photograph" of the physical universe sometime in the past. We 

call a mental image picture a mock-up when it is created by the 

thetan or for the thetan and does not consist of a photograph of 

the physical universe.



Facsimiles, made up of mental energy, are the pictures contained 

in the reactive mind.



REACTIVE MIND:



Reactive bank. The portion of the mind which works on a stimulus-

response basis (given a certain stimulus it will automatically 

give a certain response) which is not under a person's volitional 

control and which exerts force and power over a person's 

awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions.



It consists of locks, secondaries, engrams and chains of them and 

is the single source of human aberrations and psychosomatic ills.



ENGRAM:



A mental image picture which is a recording of a time of physical 

pain and unconsciousness. It must by definition have impact or 

injury as part of its content.



SECONDARY:



A mental image picture of a moment of severe and shocking loss or 

threat of loss which contains misemotion such as anger, fear, 

grief, apathy or "deathfulness." It is a mental image recording 

of a time of severe mental stress. It may contain 

unconsciousness. Called a secondary because it itself depends 

upon an earlier engram with similar data but real pain.



LOCK:



A mental image picture of nonpainful but disturbing experiences 

the person has experienced. A lock depends for its force on 

secondaries and engrams. It is an analytical moment in which the 

perceptics of the engram are approximated, thus restimulating the 

engram or bringing it into action, the present time perceptics 

being erroneously interpreted by the reactive mind to mean that 

the same condition which produced physical pain once before is 

now again at hand.



The reactive mind never stops operating. Pictures of the 

environment, of a very low order, are taken by this mind even in 

some states of unconsciousness.



The reactive mind comprises an unknowing, unwanted series of 

aberrated computations which bring about an effect upon the 

individual and those around him. It is an obsessive strata of 

unknown, unseen, uninspected data which are forcing solutions, 

unknown and unsuspected, on the individual -which tells you why 

it remained hidden from Man for so many thousands of years.



BANK:



A colloquial name for the reactive mind. The mental image picture 

collection of the pc. It comes from computer technology where all 

data is in a "bank."



COMMUNICATION CYCLE:



A completed communication, including origination of the 

communication, receipt of the communication, and answer or 

acknowledgment of the communication. A communication cycle 

consists of just cause, distance, effect, with intention, 

attention, duplication and understanding.



AUDITING COMM CYCLE:



(HCOB 30 Apr. 71) This is the auditing comm cycle that is always 

in use:



1. Is the pc ready to receive the command? (appearance, presence)



2. Auditor gives command /question to pc (cause, distance, 

effect).



3. Pc looks to bank for answer.



4. Pc receives answer from bank.



5. Pc gives answer to auditor (cause, distance, effect).



6. Auditor acknowledges pc.



7. Auditor sees that pc received acknowledgment (attention).



8. New cycle beginning with (1).



CHARGE:



The stored quantities of energy in the time track; stored energy 

or stored or recreatable potentials of energy. The electrical 

impulse on the case that activates the meter. Harmful energy or 

force accumulated and generated in the reactive mind, resulting 

from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has 

had.



MENTAL MASS:



Mental mass is the mass contained in the mental image pictures 

(facsimiles) in the reactive mind. It has weight; very tiny, but 

it has weight, and it actually has size and shape and so forth. 

Its proportionate weight would be terribly slight compared to the 

real object which the person is making a picture of.



KEY-IN:



Verb: The action of recording a lock on a secondary or engram.



Noun:	The first time an engram is restimulated is called a key-

in. A key-in is merely a special kind of lock, the first lock on 

a particular engram.



A moment when the environment around the awake but fatigued or 

distressed individual is itself similar to the dormant engram. At 

that moment the engram becomes active. It is keyed-in and can 

thereafter be dramatized.



KEY-OUT:



Verb:	An action of the engram or secondary dropping away without 

being erased.



Noun:	The person without knowing what the earlier instance was 

has had the lock vanish. That's a key-out.



Adjective: Released from the stimulus-response mechanisms of the 

reactive mind.



Release or separation from one's reactive mind or some portion of 

it.



RELEASE:



Noun:	One who knows he or she has had worthwhile gains from 

Scientology processing and who knows he or she will not now get 

worse.



A person who has been able to back out of his bank. The bank is 

still there but the person isn't sunk into it with all its 

somatics and depressions.



A series of gradual key-outs. At any given one of those key-outs 

the individual detaches from the remainder of his reactive bank.



REHABILITATE (Rehab):



To restore to a former capacity or condition. In auditing, this 

means to do the series of actions in session which result in 

regaining a state of Release for the pc.



POSTULATE:



A conclusion, decision or resolution made by the individual 

himself-, to conclude, decide or resolve a problem or to set a 

pattern for the future or to nullify a pattern of the past.



We mean, by postulate, a self-created truth. A postulate is, of 

course, that thing which is directed desire or order or 

inhibition or enforcement on the part of the individual in the 

form of an idea.



Postulate means to cause a thinkingness or consideration.



COGNITION:



A pc origination indicating he has "come to realize." It's a 

"What do you know? I..." statement. A new realization of life. It 

results in a higher degree of awareness and consequently a 

greater ability to succeed with one's endeavors in life.



FLOATING NEEDLE:



A floating needle is a rhythmic sweep of the dial at a slow, even 

pace of the needle.



It is always accompanied by good indicators or very good 

indicators in the pc. (Ref. HCOB 10 Dec. 76RB, C/S Series 99RB, 

SCIENTOLOGY F/N AND TA POSITION; HCOB 21 July 78, WHAT IS A 

FLOATING NEEDLE?)



RUDIMENTS:



First principles, steps, stages or conditions. The basic actions 

done at the beginning of a session to set up the pc for the major 

session action; ARC breaks, PTPs, withholds.



A rudiment is that which is used to get the pc in shape to be 

audited in that session.



AFFINITY:



Degree of liking or affection or lack of it.



The feeling of love or liking for something or someone.



Affinity is a tolerance of distance. A great affinity would be a 

tolerance of or liking of close proximity. A lack of affinity 

would be an intolerance of or dislike of close proximity. 

Affinity is one of the components of understanding; the other 

components being reality and communication.



REALITY:



Reality is an agreement as to what is. It is not what the 

individual thinks reality is; it is what the majority agrees it 

is. It is the solid objects, the real things of life. It is the 

agreement upon perceptions and data in the physical universe. 

Reality is what is. It is one of the components of understanding.



COMMUNICATION:



The interchange of ideas or objects between two people or 

terminals. More precisely the definition of communication is the 

consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from 

source point across a distance to receipt point, with the 

intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a 

duplication of that which emanated from the source point. The 

formula of communication is cause, distance, effect, with 

attention and duplication. Communication by definition does not 

need to be two-way. Communication is one of the component parts 

of understanding.



ARC:



A word formed from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality and 

Communication, which together equate to Understanding. It is 

pronounced by stating its letters, A-R-C. To Scientologists it 

has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness.



ARC BREAK:



A sudden drop or cutting of one's affinity, reality or 

communication with someone or something. It is pronounced by its 

letters A-R-C break.



Upsets with people or things come about because of a lessening or 

sundering of affinity, reality or communication or understanding.



PROBLEM:



A problem is a conflict arising from two opposing intentions. 

Anything which has opposing sides of equal force; it is 

postulate-counter-postulate, intention-counter-intention, 

terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It's one thing 

versus another thing. You've got two forces or two ideas which 

are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right 

there.



PRESENT TIME PROBLEM:



A specific problem that exists in the physical universe now, on 

which a person has his attention fixed.



Any set of circumstances that so engages the attention of the 

preclear that he feels he should be doing something about it 

instead of being audited.



0VERT:



An overt act is an act of omission or commission which does the 

least good for the least number of dynamics or the most harm to 

the greatest number of dynamics.



An aggressive or destructive act by the individual against one or 

more of the eight dynamics (self, family, group, mankind, animals 

or plants, mest, life or the infinite). That thing which you do 

which you aren't willing to have happen to you.



WITHHOLD:



An undisclosed harmful (contrasurvival) act.



A withhold is something the pc did that he isn't talking about. 

Any withhold comes after an overt.



MISSED WITHHOLD:



An undisclosed contrasurvival act which has been restimulated by 

another but not disclosed. This is a withhold which another 

person nearly found out about, leaving the person with the 

withhold in a state of wondering whether his hidden deed is known 

or not.



REPETITIVE PROCESS:



A process that is run over and over with the same question of the 

pc. We don't expect the auditor to do anything but state the 

command (or ask the question) with no variation, acknowledge the 

pc's answer and handle the pc origins by understanding and 

acknowledging what the pc said. A process which permits the 

individual to examine his mind and environment and out of it 

select the unimportances and importances.



FL0W:



A progress of energy between two points.



An impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses 

between terminals.



The progress of particles or impulses or waves from Point A to 

Point B.



The four flows used in processing are:



  F1, flow one, something happening to self



  F2, flow two, doing something to another



  F3, flow three, others doing things to others



  F0, flow zero, self doing something to self.



ASSESS:



To choose, from a list or statements, which item or thing has the 

longest read or blowdown. (In Dianetics it is choosing which item 

or statement has the longest read, blowdown or pc's interest. The 

longest read will also have the pc's interest.)



ASSESSMENT:



An action done from a prepared list. Assessment is done by the 

auditor between the pc's bank and the meter. The auditor looks at 

the meter while doing an assessment.



He just notes which item has the longest fall or blowdown.



Assessment isn't auditing; it is simply trying to locate 

something to audit. It is the whole action of obtaining a 

significant item from a pc.



EXAMINER:



Preclear Examiner. The person in a Scientology Church to whom 

preclears are sent immediately after any auditing session. The 

Examiner is assigned to the duties of noting the pc's statements, 

TA position and state of the needle and the pc's indicators, 

after session. He says nothing to the pc during this action; he 

simply records the necessary data and acknowledges the pc's 

statement if one is made.



The Examiner is also the person the pc sees when he wishes to 

volunteer information or make any sort of statement about his 

case between sessions or if there is something he wants handled 

regarding his case.
