CALIBRATION, finding and marking the correct positions on the tone arm dial so that TA 2 and TA 3 positions are known precisely by the auditor at start of session. (EMD, p. 16A)

CALL-BACK, a type of action phrase which would, in present time, cause the preclear to move back to another position in space, and when contained in an engram would pull the preclear down from present time into the engram. (SOS, p. 105)

CAL-MAG FORMULA, working on this in 1973, for other uses than drug reactions, I found the means of getting calcium into solution in the body along with magnesium so that the results of both could be achieved. (HCOB 5 Nov 74)

CANCELLER, 1. in Dn processing we used to use what was called a “canceller.” At the beginning of the session, the preclear was told that anything which had been said to him would be cancelled when the word cancelled was uttered at the end of the session. This canceller is no longer employed, not because it was not useful but because lock scanning provides the means of scanning off all the auditing. This is a far more effective and positive mechanism than the canceller. (SOS, Bk. 2, pp. 228-229) 2. a contract with the patient that whatever the auditor says will not become literally interpreted by the patient or used by him in any way. It prevents accidental positive suggestion. (DMSMH, p. 200)

CANNED LIST, Slang. a pre-prepared and issued list. (7204C07 SO I)

CANS, electrodes for the E-meter. Steel soup or vegetable cans, unpainted, tops cleanly removed, label and glue washed off, tin plated or not, have been standard for many years. It is with these that calibration has been done. (HCOB 14 Jul 70)

CAN’T HAVE, 1. it means just that-a depriving of substance or action or things. (HCO PL 12 May 72) 2. denial of something to someone else. (BTB 22 Oct 72) 3. a moment of pain or unconsciousness is a moment of can’t have. If, at a certain moment, an individual couldn’t have the environment, couldn’t have the circumstances he was undergoing then it is a certainty that he’ll pile up an engram right at that spot in time. (Abil 14)

CASE, the whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63)

CASE ANALYSIS, 1. the determination of where pc’s attention (at current state of case) is fixed on the track and restoring pc’s determinism over those places. (HCOB 28 Feb 59) 2. the steps for case analysis are (1) discover what the pc is sitting in, (2) get the lies off, (3) locate and indicate the charge. (HCOB 14 Dec 63)

CASE V, 1. the definition of a case V is no mock-ups, only blackness. (Scn 8- 8008, p. 120) [For a complete list of the eight levels of case of SOP 8-C, see STATES OF CASE SCALE.]

CASE GAIN, 1. the improvements and resurgences a person experiences from auditing. (Scn AD) 2. any case betterment according to the pc. (Abil 155)

CASE HISTORIES, reports on preclears’ individual records. (FOT, p. 15)

CASE LEVEL, see STATE OF CASE SCALE.

CASE PROGRESS SHEET, a sheet which details the levels of processing and training the pc has achieved while moving up the grade chart. It also lists incidental rundowns and setup actions the pc has had. The sheet gives at a glance the pc’s progress to OT. (BTB 3 Nov 72R)

CASE, STATES OF, see STATE OF CASE SCALE.

CASE SUPERVISOR, 1. that person in a Scientology Church who gives instructions regarding, and supervises the auditing of preclears. The abbreviation C/S can refer to the Case Supervisor or to the written instructions of a case supervisor depending on context. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) 2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases. The C/S is the auditor’s “handler.” He tells the auditor what to do, corrects his tech, keeps the lines straight and keeps the auditor calm and willing and winning. The C/S is the pc’s case director. His actions are done for the pc. (Dn Today, Bk. 3, p. 545) Abbr. C/S. See also C/S.

CATATONIA, 1. a psychiatric name for withdrawn totally. (HCOB 24 Nov 65) 2. catatonia means the person is lying still in apathy unmoving and not reaching anything. (SH Spec 303, 6309C05)

CAUSATION, imposing time and space upon objects, people, self, events and individuals. (Scn 8-80, p. 44)

CAUSE, 1. cause could be defined as emanation. It could be defined also, for purposes of communication, as source-point. (FOT, p. 77) 2. a potential source of flow. (COHA, p. 258) 3. is simply the point of emanation of the communication. Cause in our dictionary here means only “source point.” (Dn 55 .1, p. 70)

“CAVE IN” (noun) “CAVED IN” (adjective), mental and/or physical collapse to the extent that the individual cannot function causatively . The individual is quite effect . A U . S . Western term which symbolized mental or physical collapse as like being at the bottom of a mine shaft or in a tunnel when the supports collapsed and left the person under tons of debris. (LRH Def. Notes)

CC, Clearing Course. (HCO PL 6 Sept 72 II)

CCHs, 1. a highly workable set of processes starting with control, going to communication and leading to havingness in that order. The CCHs are auditing specifically aimed at and using all the parts of the two way comm formula. (BTB 12 Sept 63) 2. several associated processes which bring a person into better control of his body and surroundings, put him into better communication with his surroundings and other people, and increase his ability to have things  for himself. They bring him into the present, away from his past problems. (Scn AD) 3. actually, control, communication and havingness. When you apply control, you obtain communication which gives the preclear havingness. And it is a method of entrance on cases which is rather infallible. (SH Spec 9, 6106C07)

CCH-O, the sum of CCH-O is find the auditor, find the auditing room, find the pc, knock out any existing PT problem, establish goals, clear help, get agreement on session length and get up to the first real auditing command. CCH-O isn’t necessarily run in that order and this isn’t necessarily all of CCH-O, but if any of these are seriously skimped, the session will somewhere get into trouble. (SCP, p. 8)

CDEI, curiosity, desire, enforcement, inhibition. (BTB 1 Dec 71RB II)

CDEINR, curious, desired, enforced, inhibited, no, refused. (BTB 1 Dec 71RB II)

CELL, 1. the virus and cell are matter and energy animated and motivated in space and time by theta. (Scn 0-8, p. 75) 2. a unit of life which is seeking to survive and only to survive. (DMSMH, p. 50)

CERT, see CERTIFICATE.

CERTAINTY, 1. the degree of willingness to accept the awareness of an is-ness. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13) 2. knowledge itself is certainty; knowledge is not data. Knowingness is certainty. Sanity is certainty, providing only that that certainty does not fall beyond the conviction of another when he views it. To obtain a certainty one must be able to observe. (COHA, p. 187) 3. knowingness-knowing one knows-a state of beingness. (PAB 29) 4. measurement of the effort and locations and distances necessary to make two points coincide at a certain instant in time. And that is really a low level certainty. That is certainty in terms of motion. (5311CM17A) 5 . clarity of observation. (COHA, p. 190)

CERTAINTY PROCESSING, the processing of certainties. The anatomy of maybe consists of uncertainties and is resolved by the processing of certainties. (Scn 8-8008, p. 126)

CERTIFICATE, an award given by the Hubbard Communications Office to designate study and practice performed and skill attained. It is not a degree as it signalizes competence whereas degrees ordinarily symbolize merely time spent in theoretical study and impart no index of skill. (Aud 2 UK) Abbr. Cert.

CERTIFICATION COURSE, you teach the student the theory in the certification course and the drills and key processes for the grade in the classification course. (HCOB 22 Sept 65)

CERTIFICATION EXAM, this is a written test taken from the HCOBs, tapes, policy letters of the theory material the student studies. (FO 1685)

CHAIN, 1. a series of recordings of similar experiences. A chain has engrams, secondaries and locks. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 2. incidents of similar nature strung out in time. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 3. a series of incidents of similar nature or similar subject matter. (HCOB 1 Mar 62)

CHAIN OF INCIDENTS, 1. when one speaks of a chain of incidents, one means usually a chain of locks or a chain of engrams or a chain of secondaries which have similar content. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 194) 2. a whole adventure or activity related by the same subject, general location or people, understood to take place in a long time period, weeks, months, years or even billions or trillions of years. (HCOB 15 May 63) See also CHAIN.

CHANGE, 1. a shift of location in space. (SH Spec 4, 6105C26) 2. essentially the redirection of energy. When change is too rapid or too slow both beingness and havingness suffer. (Scn 8-8008, p. 103)

CHANGE OF CHARACTERISTIC, 1. one of the ten main needle actions of an E-meter. A change of characteristic occurs when we hit on something in the preclear’s bank. It occurs only when and each time we ask that exact question. As the question or item alone changes the needle pattern, we must assume that that is it and we use it. It is not much used but must be known. (EME, pp. 15-16) 2. the meter on a certain question has its needle shift into a different action than it was in. It resumes its old action when you no longer ask the question. (SH Spec 1, 6105C07).

CHANGE OF SPACE PROCESSING, the object of change of space processing is to get all areas into present time. Originally it could be conceived that only the place where the preclear is is in present time, that all other places are in past time to the degree that they are far from the preclear. Change of space processing is done in this fashion: “Be at the place where you entered the mest universe,” “Be at the center of this room,” “Be at the place where you entered the mest universe,” “Center of this room,” “Entrance point,” “Room” and so forth until the entrance point is in present time. The preclear should be made to run change of space on any area until that area is in present time. (COHA, p. 38)

CHANGE OF VIEWPOINT, the primary requisite of the viewpoint is that it has position relative to points. A change of viewpoint necessitates a change of positions rather than a change of idea. The change of position is primary; the change of idea is secondary. (PAB 8)

CHANGE PROCESSES, 1. resistance to change prevents the pc from having, and as the ideas of change are sorted out the pc has increased havingness. (HCOB 27 Apr 61) 2. if a pc is bad off on change (which includes about eighty per cent of the pcs you get), he cannot run another auditing command cleanly as he never really runs the command but runs something else. Therefore the only thing that can be run is a change process and it must be run until motion is removed from the tone arm. There are many, many versions of change. To get the best result, adapt a process to the pc. (HCOB 27 Apr 61)

CHAOS, 1. all points in motion-no points fixed. (5410CM07) 2. there’s nothing traveling in one direction and there’s nothing in alignment. (PDC 59)

CHAOS MERCHANT, the slave master, the fellow who’s trying to hold everybody down, the fellow who’s trying to keep everybody shook up one way or the other and so he can’t ever get up again, the fellow who makes his money and his daily bread out of how terrible everything is. (SH Spec 328, 6312C10) See also MERCHANTS OF CHAOS.

CHARGE, 1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD) 2. the electrical impulse on the case that activates the meter. (HCOB 27 May 70) 3. stored energy or stored recreatable potentials of energy. (HCOB 8 Jun 63) 4. the stored quantities of energy in the time track. It is the sole thing that is being relieved or removed by the auditor from the time track. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn Vi Part One Tone Arm Action) 5 . emotional charge or energy. (NSOL, p. 29) 6 . the accumulation of entheta in locks and secondaries which charges up the engrams and gives them their force to aberrate. (SOS Gloss) 7 . by charge is meant anger, fear, grief, or apathy contained as misemotion in the case. (SOS, p. 108) See also CHRONIC CHARGE.

CHARGE UP, charge that is restimulated but not released causes the case to “charge up” in that charge already on the time track is triggered but is not yet viewed by the pc. (HCOB 8 Jun 63)

CHARGED UP, the key-in and additional locks begin to give the engram more and more entheta, and it becomes more and more powerful in its effect upon the individual. It has to be, in short, charged up in order to affect the individual. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 137)

CHART OF ATTITUDES, 1. a chart on which are plotted with the numerical values of the emotional tone scale the gradient attitudes that fall between the highest and lowest states of consideration about life. Example: top-CAUSE; bottom-FULL EFFECT. (PXL Gloss) 2. a chart of attitudes toward life. This might be called a “button chart” for it contains the major difficulties people have. It is also a self-evaluation chart. You can find a level on it where you agree and that is your level of reaction toward life. (HFP, p. 38).

CHECKLIST, a list of actions or inspections to ready an activity or machinery or object for use or estimate the needful repairs or corrections. This is erroneously sometimes called a “checksheet” but that word is reserved for study steps. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

CHECKOUT, the action of verifying a student’s knowledge of an item given on a checksheet. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

CHECK SHEET, a list of materials, often divided into sections, that give the theory and practical steps which, when completed, give one a study completion. The items are selected to add up to the required knowledge of the subject. They are arranged in the sequence necessary to a gradient of increasing knowledge on the subject. After each item there is a place for the initial of the student or the person checking the student out. When the checksheet is fully initialed, it is complete, meaning the student may now take an exam and be granted the award for completion. Some checksheets are required to be gone through twice before completion is granted. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) Abbr. c/sheet or ch. sheet or Csht.

CHECKSHEET MATERIAL, the policy letters, bulletins, tapes, mimeo issues, any reference book or any books mentioned on the checksheet. (HCO PL 16 Mar 71)

CHEMICAL RELEASE, drugs (or alcohol) give an enforced moment or period of release. It is surrounded in mass. They are deadly because they give the sensation of release while actually pulling in mass. (HCOB 23 Sept 68)

CHEW AROUND, tendency on the part of preclears to change the direction or position of the energy masses which they are handling, and when this is the case there is a certain loss of havingness by reason of heat and friction. (PAB 52)

CHEW ENERGY, Slang. just “chewing the energy around” doesn’t make it persist, but, with all this chewing he isn’t as-ising anything. All he is doing is moving mass “A” to position “B.” Anybody who is doing this gets no cognition out of it at all. He is waiting for that piece of energy to tell him something, and this tells you a great deal about the preclear who couldn’t run an engram. He was waiting for the MEST to say something. (PAB 56)

CHRONIC CHARGE, the impulse to withdraw from that which can’t be withdrawn from or to approach that which can’t be approached, and this, like a two pole battery, generates current. This constantly generated current is chronic charge. (HCOB 15 May 63)

CHRONIC ENGRAM, an engram which has been more or less continuously restimulated so that it has become an apparent portion of the individual. (DTOT, p. 45)

CHRONIC HIGH TA, one which is found high two sessions running (consecutive). “High” means around 4.0 or above. But 3.8 can also be called “high” if it occurs at session beginning too often. (HCOB 13 Feb 70) See also HIGH TA.

CHRONIC INSANITY, 1. an acute insanity with the time factor lengthily extended. (DASF) 2. one which, having appeared, does not subside but holds the individual in an abnormal state. (DASF)

CHRONIC SOMATIC, 1. a stuck moment on a time track, which is the stable datum of a prior confusion. (SH Spec 61, 6110C03) 2. an obvious  demonstration of a help-failure cycle where the individual has used an effort to help and has failed and has gotten a somatic back. (5112CM30A) 3. psychosomatic illness, as it is called in the field of medicine, is named in Dn a chronic somatic, since it is not an illness, and cannot be diagnosed as such but is only some former pain which is in restimulation. (SOS, p. xv) 4. a psychosomatic illness, since it is discovered that psychosomatic illness is only the restimulated somatic of some engram and goes away when the engram is contacted and reduced or erased. (SOS, p. 26) 5 . simply an area of randomity, a theta facsimile of past pain, effort, counter-effort, that has swamped the individual. It throws him all out of whack. As far as atoms and molecules are concerned, he suffers pain. (5109CM24B)

CHUG, a needle reaction in which the needle in falling appears to encounter, penetrate and surge beyond a “skin.” (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VIPart One Glossary of Terms)

CIRCUIT, 1. a part of an individual’s bank that behaves as though it were someone or something separate from him and that either talks to him or goes into action of its own accord, and may even, if severe enough, take control of him while it operates. A tune that keeps going around in someone’s head is an example of a circuit. (NOTL Gloss) 2. just an identity that is so dominant that it balls up a whole section of the whole track. It takes a large section of the whole track and bundles it all up in a black ball and it’s full of pictures. (SH Spec 105, 6201C25) 3. a circuit has no livingness in it. It is simply a motivated mass. (SH Spec 21, 6106C27) 4. matter, energy, space and time at a mental level, enclosing thought. (6009C13) 5 . a mechanism which becomes an identity in itself, with its own “I” which takes a piece of the analyzer, walls it off with the charge, and thereafter dictates to the preclear. In olden times, these were called demons. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 202) 6 . divisions of your own mind that seem to make up other personalities and these other personalities affect you and argue with you and so forth. (5203CM05D)

CIRCUIT CASES, the auditor will encounter many cases which resolve very rapidly. These account for fully 50% of the people who come to him, but he will also encounter many people whose cases are resistive and he will encounter a small handful who wouldn’t let anything happen if the auditor used a shotgun on them. These are classified as “circuit cases.” (PAB 19)

CIRCUITRY, 1. consists of “you” phrases. They are the phrases addressed from an exterior “I” to “you.” “I have to tell you” is still a “you” addressing the “I.” These phrases are received from persons who seek to nullify the independence of judgment of others. (NOTL, p. 49) 2. circuitry is an escape from knowing. It is knowingness in a substitute for lack of knowing. When a thetan escapes from knowing, he sets up a circuit. (SH Spec 68, 6110C18)

CLASS, 1. refers to the level of classification of an auditor. (BTB 12 Apr 72) 2. a technical certificate in Scn goes by classes on the gradation chart. (HCO PL 13 Mar 66) Abbr. Cl.

CLASS 0, see HRS.

CLASS I, see HTS.

CLASS II, see HCA.

CLASS III, see HPA.

CLASS IV, see HAA.

CLASS V, see HVA.

CLASS VI, see HSS.

CLASS VII, see HGA.

CLASS VIII, see HSTS.

CLASS VIII C/S-6, list useful in running out past bad auditing. (HCOB 28 Mar 74)

CLASS VIII DRUG RUNDOWN, one of the steps in a complete drug rundown. It consists of listing and rehabbing all drugs, 3-way recalls, secondaries, and engrams of taking and giving drugs. (HCOB 31 Aug 74)

CLASS IX, Hubbard Advanced Technical Specialist. The Class IX Course is taught at Saint Hill organizations and contains data concerning advanced procedures and developments since Class VIII. (CG&AC 75) 2. After release of NOTs as OT level 5 it means NOTs Auditor (editor).

CLASS X, an advanced Scn course available only on Flag. It teaches L-10 OT, an upper level rundown whose basic tech comes from research into increasing OT powers. (CG&AC 75)

CLASS XI, an advanced Scn Course, available to Sea Org auditors only and is taught on Flag. It teaches L-11, the New Life Rundown and L-llX, the New Life Expansion Rundown. (CG&AC 75)

CLASS XII, an advanced Scn course available to Sea Org auditors only and is taught on Flag. It teaches L-12, the Flag OT executive Rundown. (CG&AC 75)

CLASS CHART, see CLASSIFICATION GRADATION AND AWARENESS CHART.

CLASSIFICATION, 1. classification means that we require certain actions to have been done or conditions to have been attained before an individual is classified on that level and we let him go on. (Aud 107 ASHO) 2. an award earned by an auditor that entitles him to audit certain levels of processes, and that shows that he has attained the ability and skill to do so by actual test. (Scn AD)

CLASSIFICATION GRADATION AND AWARENESS CHART, the route to Clear, the Bridge. On the right side of the chart there are various steps called the states of release. The left-hand side of the chart describes the very important steps of training on which one gains the knowledge and abilities necessary to deliver the grades of release to another. It is a guide for the individual from the point where he first becomes dimly aware of a Scientologist or Scn and shows him how and where he should move up in order to make it. Scn contains the entire map for getting the individual through all the various points on this gradation scale and for getting him across the Bridge to a higher state of existence. (Aud 107 ASHO)

CLAY DEMO, abbreviation for clay demonstration. A Scn study technique whereby the student demonstrates definitions, principles, etc. in clay to obtain greater understanding by translating significance into actual mass. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

CLAY TABLE, a clay table is any platform at which a student, standing or sitting, can work comfortably. The surface must be smooth. A table built of rough timber will serve but the top surface where the work is done should be oil cloth or linoleum. Otherwise the clay sticks to it and it cannot be cleaned and will soon lead to an inability to see clearly what is being done because it is stained with clay leavings. (HCOB 10 Dec 70 I)

CLAY TABLE CLEARING, 1. a process of clearing words and symbols. (HCOB 9 Sept 64) 2. as one Scn remedy for increased IQ and destimulation, clay table clearing is audited by an auditor in a session. The entire effort by the auditor in a session of clay table clearing is to help the pc regain confidence in being able to achieve things by removing the misunderstandings which have prevented that achievement. (HCOB 18 Aug 64)

CLAY TABLE HEALING, gets the pc to name the condition the pc requires to be handled and gets the pc to represent this in clay. The whole process is flat when the condition has vanished. Clay table healing is a very precise series of actions. (HCOB 9 Sept 64) [The above is a very brief summary only. The full series of steps can be found in the referenced HCOB Abbr. CTH.

CLAY TABLE IQ PROCESSING, 1. trace back (with no meter) what word or term the pc failed to grasp in the subject chosen. Get the pc to make up the mass represented by the word in clay and any related masses. Get them all labeled and explained. I.Q. (intelligence quotient or the relative brightness of the individual) can be rocketed out of sight with HGC use of a clay table. (HCOB 17 Aug 64) 2. the original issue of “Clay Table Clearing” was called “Clay Table I.Q. Processing.” (HCOB 27 Sept 64)

CLAY TABLE PROCESSING, 1. the clay table presents us with a new series of processes. The preclear is made to make in clay and labels whatever he or she is currently worried about or hasn’t understood in life. The essence of clay table processing is to get the pc to work it out. In auditing the pc tells the auditor. This is still true in clay table processing. (HCOB 17 Aug 64) 2. the pc handles the mass. The auditor does not suggest subjects or colors or forms. The auditor just finds out what should be made and tells the pc to do it in clay and labels. And keeps calling for related objects to be done in clay. (HCOB 17 Aug 64)

CLAY TABLE TRACK ANALYSIS, a training activity for Class VI. (HCOB 18 Aug 64)

CLAY TABLE TRAINING, the student is given a word or auditing action or situation to demonstrate. He then does this in clay. (HCOB 11 Oct 67)

CLEAN HANDS, in order for an auditor who is regarded as a security risk to be considered to have clean hands, it is necessary for him to receive a Clean Hands Clearance Check from HCO. If on completion there are questions which are alive or if there are any missed or partial withholds the person must go back to the HGC to have them cleaned up before he is considered to have clean hands. If no questions are alive and there are no missed or partial withholds, then the person will be awarded a Clean Hands seal on his certificate and will be considered to be in good standing with HCO. (HCO PL 27 Feb 62)

CLEANING A CLEAN, 1. attempting to clean up or deal with something that has already been cleaned up or dealt with or that wasn’t troublesome to the person in the first place. (Scn AD) 2. there is nothing there yet the auditor tries to get it and the pc ARC breaks. This is cleaning a clean with an E-meter. (HCO PL 16 Apr 65) 3. this is the same as asking a pc for something that isn’t there and develops a “withhold of nothing.” (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Tone Arm Action)

CLEAN NEEDLE, 1. a needle that acts when the auditor speaks and does nothing the rest of the time. (EMD, p. 42) 2. it is a total uniform speed. There is not the faintest tick in it. There is not the faintest speed-up. There is nothing. It is just like molasses pouring out of the barrel-and there it is, and that’s a clean needle. (SH Spec 224, 6212C13) 3. one which flows, producing no pattern or erratic motions of the smallest kind with the auditor sitting looking at it and doing nothing. A clean needle is not just something that doesn’t react to a particular question. It’s a lovely slow flow, usually a rise, most beautifully expressed on a Mark V at 64 sensitivity. (HCOB 30 Dec 62)

CLEAR, noun. 1. a thetan who can be at cause knowingly and at will over mental matter, energy, space and time as regards the first dynamic (survival for self). The state of Clear is above the release grades (all of which are requisite to clearing) and is attained by completion of the Clearing Course at an Advanced Organization. (ScnAD) 2. a Clear, in an absolute sense, would be someone who could confront anything and everything in the past, present and future. (Abil Mag 56) 3. a Clear is not an all-knowing being. A Clear is somebody who has lost the mass, energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind . ( SH Spec 80, 6609C08) 4. a picture is completely unnecessary for any kind of a recall at all which is probably about the only change there has been from the definition of a Book One Clear. (SH Spec 59, 6504C27) 5 . a Clear has no vicious reactive mind and operates at total mental capacity just like the first book (DMSMH) said. In fact every early definition of Clear is found to be correct. (HCOB 2 Apr 65) 6 . the name of a button on an adding machine. When you push it, all the hidden answers in the machine clear and the machine can be used for a proper computation. So long as the button is not pressed the machine adds all old answers to all new efforts to compute and wrong answers result. Really, that’s all a Clear is. Clears are beings who have been cleared of wrong answers or useless answers which keep them from living or thinking. (Aud 4 UK) 7 . a Clear has risen from the analogy between the mind and the computing machine. Before a computer can be used to solve a problem, it must be cleared of old problems, of old data and conclusions. Otherwise, it will add all the old conclusions into the new one and produce an invalid answer. Processing clears more and more of these problems from the computer. The completely cleared individual would have all his self-determinism in present time and would be completely self-determined. (Abil 114A) 8 . a thetan cleared of enforced and unwanted behavior patterns and discomforts. (HCOB 8 May 63) 9. simply an awareness of awareness unit which knows it’s an awareness of awareness unit, can create energy at will, and can handle and control, erase or re-create an analytical mind or reactive mind. (Dn 55 .l pp. 17-18) 10. a person who can have or not have at will anything in the universe. (5412CM06) 11. an unaberrated person. He is rational in that he forms the best possible solutions he can on the data he has and from his viewpoint. He obtains the maximum pleasure for the organism, present and future, as well as for the subjects along the other dynamics. The Clear has no engrams which can be restimulated to throw out the correctness of computation by entering hidden and false data in it. (DMSMH, p. 111) 12. one who has become the basic individual through auditing. (DTOT, p. 33) -v. 14. to clear: to release all the physical pain and painful emotion from the life of an individual. (DMSMH, p. 170)

CLEARED CANNIBAL, the individual without engrams seeks survival along all of the dynamics in accordance with his breadth of understanding. This does not mean that a Zulu who has been cleared of all his engrams would not continue to eat missionaries if he were a cannibal by education; but it does mean that he would be as rational as possible about eating missionaries; further, it would be easier to re-educate him about eating missionaries if he were a Clear. (SOS, p.110)

CLEARED THETA CLEAR, 1. a person who is able to create his own universe; or, living in the mest universe is able to create illusions perceivable by others at will, to handle mest universe objects without mechanical means and to have and feel no need of bodies or even the mest universe to keep himself and his friends interested in existence. (Scn 8-8008, p. 114) 2. next level above theta clear (which is cleared of need to have a body). All of a person’s engrams have been turned into conceptual experience. He is clear all the way along the track. He can really deliver the horsepower. (5206CM26A) 3. one who has full recall of everything and full ability as a thetan. (Scn 8-80, p. 59)

CLEARING, 1. a gradient process of finding places where attention is fixed and restoring the ability of the pc to place and remove attention under his own determinism. (HCOB 28 Feb 59) 2. what is clearing but regaining awareness that one is himself, and regaining confidence. (HCOB 1 Feb 58)

CLEARING COMMANDS, 1. when running a process newly or whenever the preclear is confused about the meaning of the commands, clear the commands with the preclear, using the dictionary if necessary. The auditor reads the commands one at a time to the pc and asks the pc “What does this command mean to you?” (HCOB 14 Nov 65) 2. clear the commands (or questions or list items) by first clearing in turn each word in backwards sequence of the words in the command. (e.g. if command is “Do fish swim?” clear “swim” then “fish” then “do.”) This prevents the pc starting to run the process by himself while you are still clearing the words. (BTB 2 May 72R)

CLEAR MOCKERY, a condition in which the thetan thinks of himself as dead. If you just ask him, “How could you help me?” although he is sitting here at 3 on the dial, there is no action on the needle. The needle is stiff. He is all machine motivated. You’ll find in his normal course of endeavor he has all kinds of bad luck. He doesn’t quite groove in but basically this: he doesn’t believe anything can be done. No help, no doingness. (SH Spec 1, 6105C07)

CLEAR OT, our definition of an operating thetan is that of a Clear Operating Thetan. This is a proofed-up being who no longer has a bank, and who has experience. This is a completely stable state-a being who won’t hit the banana peel. (SH Spec 82, 6611C29)

CLEAR READ, when a preclear is Clear he may occasionally get some tone arm motion due to purely body electronics but in the main reads at male or female on the tone arm (3 or 2) according to his or her sex. (EME, p. 11)

CLEAR THINKING, a Clear does not have any “mental voices.” He does not think vocally. He thinks without articulation of his thoughts and his thoughts are not in voice terms. He thinks at such speed that the word stream of consciousness would be left at the post. (DMSMH, p. 87)

CLOSED TERMINALS, when one begins to identify, one has “closed terminals” too closely, and believes one terminal is another terminal. (PAB 63) See also SNAPPING TERMINALS.

CLOSURE MECHANISM (of problems), problems close in on one as an actual mental mass when one invents solutions for them. The solution is not the problem so does not as-is or erase. When one invents problems or conceives of problems as simply problems, the mental mass moves away from him in space. This can be demonstrated to a pc (who can see mental mass) by having him invent some solutions. A mental mass will move in on him. But when he invents problems the mental mass moves away. See HCOB 11 June 57, page 6 . In considerable use in 1955 in London. (LRH Def. Notes)

COACH, to train intensively by instruction, demonstration and practice. In training drills, one twin is made the coach and the other the student. The coach in his coaching actions, coaches the student to achieve the purpose of the drill. He coaches with reality and intention following exactly the materials pertaining to the drill to get the student through it. When this is achieved the roles are then reversed-the student becoming the coach and the coach becoming the student. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

CO-AUDITING TEAM, where two people audit each other alternately. There is also the three-way team, in which three people co-audit. This has the advantage of keeping altitude for each auditor, since in the triangle, none is being processed by anyone he is auditing. (SOS, Bk. 2, pp. 266-267)

CO-AUDITOR, one who audits another co-auditor under supervision and after training at a given level. (Aud 2 UK)

CODE, collection of rules (do’s and don’ts). (BTB 30 Sept 71 IV)

CODE OF A SCIENTOLOGIST, the Code of a Scientologist was evolved to safeguard Scientologists in general, and is subscribed to by leading Scientologists. (CONA, p. 7)

CODE OF HONOR, 1. the ethical code of Scn; the code one uses, not because he has to, but because he can afford such a luxury. (COHA Gloss) 2. the Code of Honor clearly states conditions of acceptable comradeship amongst those fighting on one side against something which they conceive should be remedied. Anyone practicing the Code of Honor would maintain a good opinion of his fellows, a much more important thing, than having one’s fellows maintain a good opinion of one. (PAB 40)

COFFEE GRINDER, an alternate name for Facsimile One. (HOM, p. 64) See FACSIMILE ONE.

COFFEE SHOP AUDITING, 1. out of session auditing of someone. (HCOB 20 Apr 72 II) 2. meterless fool-around, often by students, stirring up cases. (HCOB 8 Mar 71)

COFFIN CASE, a preclear who lies in the position of a dead man, with arms folded. This is a grief engram having to do with the death of some loved one, and with the preclear in the valence of the loved one. (SOS, p. 112) See also CORPSE CASE.

COG, cognition. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

COGNITING, as-ising aberration with a realization about life. (HCOB 26 Apr 71 I)

COGNITION, 1. as-ising aberration with a realization about life. (HCOB 26 Apr 71 I) 2. a pc origination indicating he has “Come to realize.” It’s a “What do you know, I . . .” statement. (HCOB 14 May 69 II) 3. something a pc suddenly understands or feels. “Well, what do you know about that?” (HCOB 25 Feb 60) Abbr. Cog.

COGNITION SURGE, a release of electrical charge. It goes along with the person having a cognition. (SH Spec 9, 6106C07)

COLD, an extreme stillness. (SH Spec 56, 6109C20)

COLOR-VISIO AND TONE-AUDIO, when a person can imagine in terms of color motion pictures with sound. (Exp Jour, Winter-Spring 50)

COMANOME, 1. once upon a time, engrams were called comanomes. (5009CM23B) 2. a period of unconsciousness which contained physical pain and apparent antagonism to the survival of the individual. (Exp Jour, Winter-Spring 1950) See ENGRAM.

COMATIC REDUCTION, boil-off was originally and sedately named comatic reduction but such erudition has been outvoted by the fact that it has never been used. (DMSMH, p. 303) See BOIL-OFF.

COMBINATION VALENCE, one which has all the characteristics of the terminal and oppterm. (SH Spec 105, 6201C25)

COMBINED TERMINAL, an item or identity the pc has both been and opposed produces therefore both pain and sensation when it is “late on the track,” which is to say, after the fact of many terminals and opposition terminals. The combination terminal is the closure between terminal and opposition terminal lines which possesses attributes of both and the clarity of neither. It signifies a period toward the end of a game. It is found most commonly when the pc’s case is only shallowly entered. They exist on all cases but are fewer than terminals and opposition terminals. Symbol. COTERM. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

COME ALIVE, on a second or third assessment items which were at first null or reading poorly will be found to come alive and read well. The pc by being audited has had an increase of ability to confront. The result is that items beyond his reach previously (and did not read well) are now available and can be run easily. (HCOB 29 Apr 69)

COMM, communication. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

COMMAND PHRASES, statements that group, bounce or deny. (HCOB 15 May 63) See ACTION PHRASES.

COMMAND POSTS, 1. control centers. (5110CMllB) 2. epicenters which stand along the nerve channels of the body and are like switchboards. (HOM, p. 25)

COMMAND SOMATIC, a somatic brought from a different part of the time track by some command phrase, such as “My arm hurts.” The preclear may have this somatic while running a prenatal engram although he was only three days conceived in the incident. Command somatics occur where the preclear is out of valence. (SOS Gloss)

COMM COURSE, because the H.A.S. Course is a course about communication it is often called the Comm Course. (HCO PL 15 Apr 71R) See H.A.S. COURSE.

COMM CYCLE, communication cycle. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

COMMENT, a statement or remark aimed only at the student or the room. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II)

COMM LAG, communication lag. (Abil SW)

COMM LINE, see COMMUNICATION LINE.

COMMUNICATION, 1. 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 and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73) 2. the first and most basic definition of any part of communication is that communication or any part thereof is a consideration. As duplication is a consideration, communication is possible to the degree that the preclear can freely make considerations. (COHA, pp. 170-171) 3. the operation, the action, by which one experiences emotion and by which one agrees. Communication is not only the modus operandi, it is the heart of life and is by thousands of per cent the senior in importance to affinity and reality. (PAB 1) 4. any ritual by which effects can be produced and perceived. Thus a letter, a bullet, the output of theta “flitter” are all, to us, communication. (PAB 4) 5. the ability to translate sympathy or some component of sympathy from one terminal to another terminal. (Spr Lect 5, 5303CM25) 6. an interchange of energy from one beingness to another in the thetan, and in Homo sapiens, communication is known as perception. (Scn 8- 8008, p. 21) 7. the handling of particles, of motion. (PAB 1) 8. the interchange of perception through the material universe between organisms or the perception of the material universe by sense channels. (Scn 0-8, p. 83) 9. the interchange of ideas across space. (Scn 0-8, p. 36) 10. the use of those sense channels with which the individual contacts the physical universe. (DAB, Vol. II, p. 218)

COMMUNICATION BRIDGE, 1. it simply closes off the process you were running, maintains ARC, and opens up the new process on which you are about to embark. (PAB 151) 2. before a question is asked, the preclear should have the question discussed with him and the wording agreed upon as though he were making a contract with the auditor. This is the first part of a communication bridge. It precedes all questions but when one is changing from one process to another the bridge becomes a bridge indeed. (PAB 88) 3. the reason we use a communication bridge is so a pc will not be startled by change, for if we change too rapidly in a session, we stick the preclear in the session every time. We give him some warning; and that is what a communication bridge is for. (PAB 151)

COMMUNICATION CHANGE, by communication change we also mean perception change. (PAB 1)

COMMUNICATION COURSE, 1. because the H.A.S. Course is a course about communication, it is often called the Comm Course (comm being for communication). (HCO PL 15 Apr 71R) 2. a basic Scn course consisting mainly of the TRs; also called the H.A.S. (Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist Course). (PRD Gloss) See H.A.S. COURSE.

COMMUNICATION CYCLE, 1. a cycle of communication and two-way communication are actually two different things. A cycle of communication is not a two-way communication in its entirety. In a cycle of communication we have Joe as the originator of a communication addressed to Bill. We find Bill receiving it and then Bill originating an answer or acknowledgement back to Joe and thus ends the c y c l e . (Dn 55 .!, p. 82) 2. consists of just cause, distance, effect with intention, attention, duplication and understanding. (HCOB 23 May 1971R IV) Abbr. comm cycle.

COMMUNICATION FORMULA, 1. communication is the interchange of ideas or objects between two people or terminals. (PXL Gloss) 2. the formula of communication is: Cause, Distance, Effect with Intention, Attention and Duplication with Understanding. (HCOB 5 Apr 73).

COMMUNICATION LAG, the length of time intervening between the asking of the question by the auditor and the reply to that specific question by the preclear. The question must be precise; the reply must be precisely to that question. It does not matter what intervenes in the time between the asking of the question and the receipt of the answer. The preclear may outflow, jabber, discuss, pause, hedge, disperse, dither or be silent; no matter what he does or how he does it, between the asking of the question and the giving of the answer, the time is the communication lag. The near answer, a guessing answer, an undecided answer, are alike imprecise answers, and are not adequate responses to the question. On receipt of such questionable answers, the auditor must ask the question again. That he asks the question again does not reduce the communication lag; he is still operating from the moment he asked the question the first time. And if he has to ask the question 20 or 30 times more in the next hour in order to get a precise and adequate answer from the preclear, the length of time of the lag would be from the asking of the first question to the final receipt of the answer. Near answers to the question are inadequate, and are, themselves, simply part of the communication lag. (PAB 43)

COMMUNICATION LAG INDEX, 1. the length of time it takes to get a logical answer. ( Spr Lect 3, 5303CM24) 2. the most important method of telling whether or not a person is sick or well. A person who answers quickly (and rationally) is in much better condition than a person who answers after a long consideration. (PAB 2)

COMMUNICATION LINE, 1. the route along which a communication travels from one person to another. (Scn AD) 2. any sequence through which a message of any character may go. (SOS, p. 94)

COMMUNICATION PROCESS, any process which places the preclear at cause and uses communication as the principal command phrase. (HCOB 7 Aug 59)

COMMUNICATION SCALE, refers to the individual’s ability to communicate with other people (in relation to his position on the tone scale). (NOTL, p. 103)

COMMUNICATIONS RELEASE, expanded Grade 0 release. (CG&AC 75) See GRADE 0 RELEASE.

COMPARABLE MAGNITUDE, 1. similar importance. (PAB 126) 2. a datum can only be evaluated by comparison with another datum of comparable magnitude. This means the basic unit must therefore, be two. (SOS Gloss) Abbr. Comp Mag.

COMPARTMENTING THE QUESTION, 1. reading it word by word and phrase by phrase to see if any one word or any one phrase falls rather than the question as a whole. (HCOB 28 Sept 61) 2. using the prior reads occurring at the exact end of the minor thoughts to dig up different data not related to the whole thought. (HCOB 25 May 62)

COMPLETE, the reverse of quickie. To make whole, entire or perfect; end after satisfying all demands or requirements. (HCOB 19 Apr 72)

COMPLETE CASE, a case is not complete unless the lowest incomplete grade chart action is complete and then each completed in turn on up. (HCOB 26 Aug 70)

COMPLETE LIST, 1. a list which has only one reading item on list . (HCOB 1 Aug 68) 2. any list listed for assessment that does not produce a dirty needle while nulling or tiger drilling. (HCOB 12 Nov 62)

COMPLETION, 1. a completion is the completing of a specific course or an auditing grade meaning it has been started, worked through and has successfully ended with an award in Qual. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) 2. a finished level or rundown. (HCO PL 29 Aug 71)

COMP MAG, comparable magnitude. (BTB 20 Aug 71R II)

COMPOSITE ILLNESS, an illness composed of many somatics. (HCOB 19 Jul 69)

COMPULSION, 1. an engramic command that the organism must do something. (DTOT, p. 58) 2. things pc feels compelled to do. (BTB 24 Apr 69)

COMPULSIVE COMMUNICATION, an outflow which is not pertinent to the surrounding terminals and situation. In other words, compulsive communication is an outflow which is not in reality with the existing reality. (Dn 55!, p. 93)

COMPULSIVE EXTERIORIZATION, a manifestation which we call in Scn “doing a bunk,” in other words, running away. (Dn 55! p. 136)

COMPUTATION, technically, that aberrated evaluation and postulate that one must be consistently in a certain state in order to succeed. The computation thus may mean that one must entertain in order to be alive or that one must be dignified in order to succeed or that one must own much in order to live. A computation is simply stated. It is always aberrated. A computation is as insidious as it pretends to align with survival. All computations are nonsurvival. Computations are held in place wholly to invalidate others. (AP&A, p. 41)

COMPUTATIONAL ALTITUDE, signifying that the individual has an outstanding ability to think, to compute upon data. Albert Einstein had computational altitude. (SOS Gloss)

COMPUTING PSYCHOTIC, 1. a psychotic who from his reactivity figure-figures. He’s inconstant in his conduct, he’s computive. He figures it all out, he’s got explanations. His psychosis is derived because these are crazy explanations. He’s obsessively solving a problem that does not exist. (SH Spec 83, 6612C06) 2. the computing psychotic passes quite commonly for a normal. Here the individual is taking dictation solely from a facsimile of some past moment of pain and is acting upon the advice of that “circuit” and is calling it thought. The psychotic personality is distinguished by its irrationality and its perversion of values. The distinguishing characteristic of the computing psychotic is his utter inability to change his mind. (AP&A, p. 38)

CONCENTRATION, duration of a mock-up in present time. (Spr Lect 4, 5303M24)

CONCEPT, 1. a high wave thought, above perception or reason or single incidents. (Scn 8-80, p. 29) 2. that which is retained after something has been perceived. (DMSMH, p. 46)

CONCEPT RUNNING, the preclear “gets the idea” of knowing or not being and holds it, the while looking at his time track. The concept runs out, or the somatic it brings on runs out, and the concept itself is run. It is not addressed at individual incidents but at hundreds. (Scn 8-80, p. 29)

CONCLUSION, the theta facsimiles of a group of combined data. (Scn 0-8, p. 78)

CONDITION, 1. anything called for as a requirement before the performance, completion or effectiveness of something else; provision; stipulation. Anything essential to the existence or occurrence of something else; external circumstances or factors. Manner or state of being. Proper or healthy state. (HCOB 11 May 65) 2. a circumstance regarding a mass or terminal. (PAB 126).

CONDITIONS BY DYNAMICS, an ethics type action. Have the person study the conditions formulas. Clear up the words related to his dynamics one to eight, and what they are. Now ask him what is his condition on the first dynamic. Have him study the formulas. Don’t buy any glib PR. When he’s completely sure of what his condition really is on the first dynamic he will cognite. Similarly go on up each one of the dynamics until you have a condition for each one. Continue to work this way. Somewhere along the line he will start to change markedly. (HCO PL 4 Apr 72) [The above is a brief summary only. The full procedure will be found in the referenced HCO PL.]

CONDITIONS (ETHICS), in Scn the term also means the ethics conditions (confusion,* treason, enemy, doubt, liability, nonexistence, danger, emergency, normal, affluence, power change, power). The state or condition of any person, group or activity can be plotted on this scale of conditions which shows the degree of success or survival of that person, group or activity at any time. Data on the application of these conditions is contained in the ethics policies and tapes of Scn. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) [*The ethics condition of confusion came later than the date of this BTB and is added here by the editor in order that all the current ethics conditions are included.]

CONDITION OF BEING, see CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE.

CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE, there are three conditions of existence. These three conditions comprise life. They are BE, DO and HAVE. The condition of being is defined as the assumption (choosing) of a category of identity. An example of beingness could be one’s own name. Another example would be one’s profession. The second condition of existence is doing. By doing, we mean action, function, accomplishment, the attainment of goals, the fulfilling of purpose, or any change of position in space. The third condition is havingness. By havingness we mean owning, possessing, being capable of commanding, positioning, taking charge of objects, energies or spaces. These three conditions are given in an order of seniority (importance) where life is concerned. (FOT, pp. 26-27).

CONDUCT SURVIVAL PATTERN, the conduct survival pattern is built upon the equation of the optimum solution. It is the basic equation of all rational behavior and is the equation on which a Clear functions. It is inherent in man. In other words, the best solution to any problem is that which will bring the greatest good to the greatest number of beings. (DMSMH, p. 34)

CONF, conference. (HCOB 29 Sept 66)

CONFESSION, a limited effort to relieve a person of the pressure of his overt acts. (HCOB 21 Jan 60, Justification)

CONFESSIONAL, 1. sec checking done in session not for security purposes is called a confessional. (HCOB 14 Oct 72) 2. modern confessional is not earlier style security checking, this is new tech. F/Ning every item, getting questions asked to F/N, not some other question. (FBDL 245, 23 Nov 72) See also SECURITY CHECKING and INTEGRITY PROCESSING.

CONFESSIONAL AID (E-METER), the confessional aid assists the minister in locating and relieving the spiritual travail of individual parishioners in the Scn confessional. The confessional aid does not diagnose or treat human ailments of body or mind, nor does it affect the structure or any function of the body; its use is directed as an article of faith of the Church of Scientology, and was never intended for use outside of the Scientology ministry. (HCO PL 9 Jul 69) See also E-METER.

CONFRONT, n. 1. an action of being able to face. (HCOB 4 Jan 73) 2. the ability to be there comfortably and perceive. (HCOB 2 Jun 71 I) 3. confront itself is a result and an end product. It itself isn’t a doingness, it’s an ability. (SH Spec 21, 6106C27) -v. to face without flinching or avoiding. (HCOB 4 Jan 73)

CONFRONTING, 1. the ability to be there comfortably and perceive. (HCOB 2 Jun 71R-1) 2. the ability to front up to. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13)

CONFRONT PROCESS, 1. the confront process for a pc from the Thirty-Six Pre-sessions. The confront process gets the preclear to present time from areas on the track where his attention was fixed by an earlier process. (EME, p. 20) 2. it should move pc on the track, going further into the past and easier and easier into present time. Pc’s pictures should improve on a confront process. (HCOB 23 Sept 60)

CONFUSION, 1. a confusion can be defined as any set of factors or circumstances which do not seem to have any immediate solution. More broadly, a confusion in this universe is random motion. (POW, p. 21) 2. plus randomity. It means motion unexpected above the tolerance level of the person viewing it. (Abil 36) 3. a number of force vectors traveling in a number of different directions. (UPC 11) 4. a confusion consists of two things, time and space; change of particles in, predicted or unpredicted, and if they are unpredicted changes in space you will have a confusion. (SH Spec 58, 6109C26)

CONNECTEDNESS, the basic process on association of theta with mest. All forms and kinds of association, including being caught in traps, prone to become identifications as in Dn. Connectedness puts the thetan at cause in making the mest (or people when run outside) connect with him. (SCP, p. 28)

CONSCIOUS, when the analytical mind is fully in command of the organism. (DMSMH, p. 59)

CONSCIOUSNESS, 1. awareness of now. (DTOT, p. 24) 2. consciousness is awareness. Awareness itself is perception. (2ACC-8B, 5311CM24).

CONSERVATISM, at 3.0 on the tone scale we have the person who is democratic, but who is somewhat more conservative than the liberal at 3.5 in his attitudes and more given to social regulations, being more in need of them. (SOS, p. 124)

CONSIDER, think, believe, suppose, postulate. (PAB 82)

CONSIDERATION, 1. a thought, a postulate about something. (BTB 1 Dec 71R IV) 2. a consideration is a continuing postulate. (5702C26) 3. the highest capability of life, taking rank over the mechanics of space, energy and time. (COHA Gloss)

CONSULTANT, an instructor who is on duty sporadically or from time to time but not routinely in any one place. (HCOB 23 Apr 59)

CONTACT ASSIST, the patient is taken to the area where the injury occurred and makes the injured member gently contact it several times. A sudden pain will fly off and the injury if minor, lessens or vanishes. This is a physical communication factor. The body member seems to have withdrawn from that exact spot in the physical universe. The restoration of awareness is often necessary before healing can occur. The prolongation of a chronic injury occurs in the absence of physical communication with the affected area or with the location of the spot of injury in the physical universe. (HCOB 2 Apr 69)

CONTAGION OF ABERRATION, 1. entheta, in proximity to theta, makes entheta out of it. From this we have the contagion of aberration. (SOS, Bk. 2 , p . 2 4 ) 2. people under stress, if aberrated, dramatize engrams. Such dramatization may involve the injury of another person and render him more or less “unconscious.” The “unconscious” person then receives as an engram the dramatization. (DMSMH, p. 134)

CONTAGION OF ERROR, on a course where the students audit each other a contagion of error can occur. For example, student A does a bad assessment on student B. Student B is then likely to give a bad assessment to his next pc and you soon have a whole rash of bad assessments. A similar phenomenon occurs when students are permitted to get the answers to their queries from other students. (HCOB 20 May 69)

CONTINUING OVERT ACT, continually committing overts before, during and after processing. The person who is not getting case gains is committing continuing overts. (HCOB 29 Sept 65 II).

CONTINUING OVERT CASE, who commits overts even when being audited and between sessions. (HCOB 1 Jun 65)

CONTINUOUS MISSED WITHHOLD, a continuous missed withhold occurs when a person feels some way and anyone who sees him misses it. Example: a doctor feels very unconfident of his skill. Every patient who sees him misses the fact that he is not confident. This reacts as a missed withhold. It is of course based upon some bad incident that destroyed his confidence (usually of an engramic intensity). (HCOB 15 Dec 73)

CONTINUOUS OVERT, this is not quite the same as The Continuing Overt Act, HCOB 29 Sept 65. In that type the person is repeating overt acts against something usually named. In the continuous overt a person who believes he is harmful to others may also believe that many of his common ordinary actions are harmful. He may feel he is committing a continuous overt on others. Example: a clothing model believes she is committing a fraud on older women by displaying clothing to them in which they will look poorly. In her estimation this is a continuous overt act. (HCOB 15 Dec 73)

CONTINUOUS OVERTS CASE, here’s one that commits antisocial acts daily during auditing. He’s psychotic, he’ll never get better, case always hangs up. We can even solve that case. (HCOB 4 Apr 65)

CONTRA-SURVIVAL ENGRAM, l. any kind of engram which lies across the dynamics and has no alignment with purpose. (DMSMH, p. 262) 2. a contra-survival engram contains physical pain, painful emotions, all other perceptions and menace to the organism. It contains apparent or actual antagonism to the individual. (DMSMH, p. 62)

CONTROL, 1. you are stating a greater truth when you say that control is predictable change than if you say control is start, change and stop because start and stop are, of course, necessary to change. You might say the thinking or philosophic definition would be predictable change. (5703C10) 2. when we say control, we simply mean willingness to start, stop and change. (Dn 55!, p. 100) 3. positive postulating, which is intention, and the execution thereof. (Scn 0-8, p. 36)

CONTROL CASE, l. the case where control is obsessive or other-determined, or where the individual is controlling things out of compulsion or fear. (Dn 55!, p. 100) 2. the person who feels he must be cold blooded in order to be rational is what is called in Dianetics a “control case,” and on examination will be found to be very far from as rational as he might be. People who cannot experience emotion because of their aberrations are ordinarily sick people. (SA, p. 94)

CONTROL CENTER, l. the control center of the organism can be defined as the contact point between theta and the physical universe and is that center which is aware of being aware and which has charge of and responsibility for the organism along all its dynamics. (Scn 0-8, p. 84) 2. every mind may be considered to have a control center. This could be called the “awareness of awareness unit” of the mind, or it could be called simply “I”. The control center is cause. It directs, through emotional relay systems, the actions of the body and the environment. It is not a physical thing. (HFP, p. 30)

CONTROL CIRCUIT, the control circuit may conduct itself as an interior entity which takes the preclear out of the auditor’s hands. When preclears are very hard to handle, take the bit in their teeth and try to run their own cases despite anything the auditor may do, they are running on control circuits, recorded commands which make the preclear misbehave under auditing. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 204)

CONTROL-CONCEPT PROCESSING, you just get the concept of “you can’t control it” and the concept that “you can control it.” (5209CM04B).

CONTROL PROCESSES, processes which place the pc’s body and actions under the auditor’s control to invite control of them by the pc. (HCOB 29 Oct 57)

CONTROL TRANSFER, a specialized kind of transfer wherein the thetan having devoted himself to a mest body now begins to control the environment and other people for his body much as he controls the body. (HOM, p. 78)

CONTROL TRIO, a three-stage process on a heavy spotting control. It runs in this fashion. “Get the idea that you can have that (object).” And when this is relatively flat, “Get the idea of making that (object) remain where it is” (or continue where it is) and “Get the idea of making that (object) disappear.” This is actually a very fine process and undercuts (runs on a lower case than) trio itself. (SCP, p. 22)

CONVERSATION, the process of alternating outflowing and inflowing communication. (Dn 55!, p. 63)

COPY, n. 1. a duplicate, distinguished from a perfect duplicate, in that it does not necessarily occupy the same space, same time, nor use the same energies as the original. (COHA Gloss) 2. the word “duplicate” is used, rather sloppily, to indicate a copy. However, a copy is not a complete duplicate; a copy is a facsimile. (COHA, p. 82) 3. something that a thetan on his own volition simply made of an object in the physical universe with full knowingness. (PXL, p. 65) -v. to make another one just like it. (COHA, p. 34)

CORPSE CASE, a pc who would lie upon the couch with his arms crossed neatly all ready for a lily and would always audit in this fashion. The preclear is so fixed in a death that he is trying to make everything unreal, and the only real thing, to him, would be the unreality of death. (PAB 50) See also COFFIN CASE.

CORRECTION LIST, 1. a list of prepared questions on a mimeod sheet which is used by the auditor for the repair of a particular situation, action, or rundown. (BTB 7 Nov 72 I) 2. the various lists designed to find by-passed charge and repair a faulty auditing action or life situation. (HCOB 28 May 70)

COTERM, combined terminal. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

COUNTER-CREATE, see CREATE-COUNTER-CREATE.

COUNTER-EFFORT, 1. the effort which counters one’s survival. (5203CM06A) 2. any effort the environment can exert against you. (5203CM04B) 3. what we’re talking about when we talk about a counter-effort is the force of impact of an engram. The force of impact which gives the pc an engram is a counter-effort. (5206CM25A)

COUNTER-EMOTION, any emotion that is countering an existing emotion. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13)

COUNTER-THOUGHT, you think one thing somebody else thinks another. Their thought is counter to your thought. (HFP, p. 115)

COURSE ADMINISTRATOR, the course staff member in charge of the course materials and records. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III).

COURSE MATERIALS, in Scn and Dn course materials are defined as those books, tapes, magazines, HCO Bulletins, HCO Policy Letters and other authorized technical issues listed on the checksheets of courses designed for use by the Church’s public. (BTB 24 Nov 71 II)

COURSE SUP, course supervisor. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

COURSE SUPERVISOR, 1. the instructor in charge of a course and its students. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) 2. basically, someone who in addition to his others duties can refer the person to the exact bulletin to get his information and never tells him another thing. (6905C29) Abbr. Crse Sup.

COURSE SUPERVISOR CORRECTION LIST, a correction list designed to help locate the individual reasons a supervisor has for not fully applying the study tech in supervision. (HCOB 27 Mar 72R II)

COVERT AUDITING, some students covertly audit. In “talking” to someone they also seek to audit that person “without the person knowing anything about it.” This of course is nonsense since auditing results are best achieved in a session and a session depends upon a self-determined agreement to be audited. (HCOB 17 Oct 64 III)

COVERT HOSTILITY, around 1.1 on the tone scale we reach the level of covert hostility. Here the hatred of the individual has been socially and individually censured to a point where it has been suppressed, and the individual no longer dares demonstrate hate as such. He yet possesses sufficient energy to express some feeling on the matter, and so what hatred he feels comes forth covertly. All manner of subterfuges may be resorted to. The person may claim to love others and to have the good of others as his foremost interest; yet, at the same moment, he works, unconsciously or otherwise, to injure or destroy the lives and reputations of people and also to destroy property. (SOS, p. 56)

CRAMMING, 1. a section in the Qualifications Division where a student is given high pressure instruction at his own cost after being found slow in study or when failing his exams. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) 2. the cramming section teaches students what they have missed. This includes trained auditors who wish to be brought up-to-date on current technical developments. (HCO PL 13 May 69).

CRAMMING ORDER, 1. a cramming order is written to handle a specific situation. If that is not handled, the situation will worsen or change, thus the original cramming order will not sufficiently handle if it is stale dated. (BTB 21 Jan 73R) 2. there is a certain technology on how to write up a cramming order: (1) isolate the exact outnesses in the folder; (2) order those HCOBs or PLs crammed; (3) now look in a slightly wider circle around the data flunked and get which basic is involved (i.e. Auditor Code, TRs, metering, handling the session, handling the pc as a being, etc.) and get that crammed, too. (BTB 12 Dec 71R)

CREAK, a stiffness, and out-of-plumbness, an unchanging situation, a no-energy flow. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms)

CREATE, make, manufacture, construct, postulate, bring into beingness. (FOT, p. 20)

CREATE-COUNTER-CREATE, t o create something against a creation, to create one thing and then create something else against it. (FOT, pp. 20-21)

CREATE-CREATE-CREATE, create again continuously one moment after the next=SURVIVAL. (FOT, p. 20)

CREATIVE IMAGINATION, imagination, whereby in the field of aesthetics the urges and impulses of the various dynamics are interwoven into new scenes and ideas. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 101)

CREATIVE PROCESSING, 1. the exercise by which the pc is actually putting up the physical universe. (SH Spec 52, 6502C23) 2. creative processing consists of having the preclear make, with his own creative energies, a mock-up. (COHA Gloss)

CRIMINAL, 1. one who is unable to think of the other fellow, unable to determine his own actions, unable to follow orders, unable to make things grow, unable to determine the difference between good and evil, unable to think at all on the future. Anybody has some of these; the criminal has ALL of them. (NSOL, p.78) 2. one who thinks help cannot be on any dynamic or uses help on anyone to injure and destroy. (HCOB 28 May 60) 3. criminals are people who are frantically attempting to create an effect long after they know they cannot. They cannot then create decent effects, only violent effects. Neither can they work. (FOT, pp. 31-32)

CRISS-CROSS, see 3DXX.

CRITICAL THOUGHT, 1. a symptom of an overt act having been committed. (SH Spec 37, 6409C01) 2. a critical pc=a withhold from the auditor. (HCOB 23 Aug 71)

CRITICISM, 1. most criticism is justification of having done an overt. There are rightnesses and wrongnesses in conduct and society and life at large, but random, carping 1.1 criticism when not borne out in fact is only an effort to reduce the size of the target of the overt. (HCOB 21 Jan 60, Justification) 2. a criticism is a hope that they can damage, and that’s what a criticism is, with an inability to do so. (SH Spec 119, 6202C22)

CR0000-1, a drill to train the student to raise his awareness of the condition of the pc called “Set up for a perfect session” drill. (HCOB 16 Jun 71 III) An auditor must be able to see when a pc has not eaten or slept, or what his tone level is, or is the pc auditable. [This HCOB is cancelled and replaced by BTB 16 Jun 71RA III and the drill renamed “Ideal Session Start.”]

CR0000-2, a drill to train an auditor to increase session pace when auditing a fast pc. Its name is Rapid TR-2. This is basically a correction drill for auditors who tend to lose session control by slow acknowledgements inviting endless itsa. (BTB 16 Jun 71R II)

CR0000-3, an E-meter drill to train an auditor to confront an E-meter. If a student has difficulty doing the preceding E-meter drills, this drill is done. It is a gradient step towards greater session control. The student confronts the E-meter and does nothing else for two hours. (BTB 16 Jun 71R II)

CR0000-4, a drill to train an auditor to be able to see the pc, the pc’s hands on the cans, the meter plus any reads, and the worksheets without having to look at any one of them. The auditor is trained to widen his/her vision until the auditor can see the meter, the pc, the pc’s hands on the cans, and the worksheets effortlessly. (BTB 16 Jun 71R II)

CR0000-5, E-meter trim check drill. A drill to train an auditor to be able to do a trim check effortlessly in a session without distracting the pc in any way. (BTB 16 Jun 71R II)

CROSS ENGRAM, an engram which embraces more than one engram chain. The receipt of the cross engram, containing as it does the convergence of two or more engram chains, is often accompanied by a “nervous breakdown” or the sudden insanity of an individual. A cross engram may occur in a severe accident, in prolonged or severe illness under antagonistic circumstances, or a nitrous oxide operation. (DTOT, p. 115)

CROSSOVER, 1. the area in the center of a GPM is the crossover. This means the RI’s which cause the pc to become an opponent of his own goal. (HCOB 4 Apr s3) 2. crossover means where the individual ceases to be for the goal, and starts to be against the goal. (SH Spec 329, s312C12)

CRS, course. (BPL 5 Nov 72RA)

C/S, a case supervisor direction of what to audit on a pc. (HCOB 23 Aug 71)

C/S, 1. case supervisor. (HCOB 23 Aug 71) 2. commodore’s staff. (BPL 5 Nov 72 RA)

C/S 53, the basic list to get TA up or down into normal range. Assessed M-5, reading items handled then reassessed etc. to F/Ning assessment. Done well with good basic auditing this action should not need to be frequently repeated on a case. TA going high or low in later auditing after C/S 53 already fully handled is normally handled with the correction list for that action (e.g. L4BR when TA high after listing or WCCL on word clearing, etc.). EP is C/S 53 F/Ning on assessment with TA in normal range. (BTB 11 Aug 72RA) [This list has been revised a number of times and its current number is C/S 53RJ.]

C/SHEET, also ch. sheet or Chsht. Abbreviation for checksheet. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

C/SING IN THE CHAIR, the auditor may not C/S in the auditing chair while auditing the pc. If he has no case supervisor he writes the C/S before session and adheres to it in session. To do something else and not follow the C/S is called C/Sing in the chair and is very poor form as it leads to Q & A. (HCOB 23 Aug 71).CS-1, 1. a general C/S which covers the basics of getting a pc sessionable. The product is an educated pc who can run Scn or Dn easily and get case gain. (BTB 8 Jan 71R) 2. purpose: to give pcs new to Dn or Scn and to give previously audited pcs as needed, the necessary data and R-factor on basics and auditing procedure so that he understands and is able and willing to be audited successfully. (BTB 8 Jan 71R)

CT, clay table. (HCOB 6 Nov 64)

CTH, clay table healing. (HCOB 27 Apr 65)

CULTURE, the pattern (if any) of life in the society. All factors of the society, social educational, economic, etc., whether creative or destructive. The culture might be said to be the theta body of the society. (SOS Gloss)

CURVE, throw a curve means to give an unexpected contrary datum. Also to shift reality. Curve itself is also the ordinary dictionary meaning. (LRH Def. Notes)

CUTATIVE, an invented word to mean the impulse to shorten or leave out or the thing left out. (HCO PL 26 Sept 70 III)

CUT COGNITION, you taking too soon an F/N (F/N indicated at the first twitch) you cut the cognition and leave by-passed charge (a withheld cognition). (HCOB 14 Mar 71R)

CYCLE, 1. in Scn, a cycle just means from the beginning to the conclusion of an intentional action. (Aud 39) 2. a span of time with a beginning and an end=a section of the totality of time with a beginning and an end=in beginningless and endless time one can set out periods which do have a beginning and an end insofar as action is concerned. (FOT, p. 19)

CYCLE OF ACTION, 1. the sequence that an action goes through, wherein the action is started, is continued for as long as is required and then is completed as planned. (Scn AD) 2. the creation, growth, conservation, decay and death or destruction of energy and matter in a space. Cycles of action produce time. (PXL, p. 8) See also ACTUAL CYCLE OF ACTION.

CYCLE OF AN ORGANISM, the cycle of an organism, a group of organisms or a species is inception, growth, re-creation, decay and death. (HFP, p. 172)

CYCLE OF AN OVERT, it goes like this. (1) a being doesn’t get the meaning of a word or symbol. (2) this causes the being to misunderstand the area of the symbol or word (who used it, whatever it applied to). (3) this causes the being to feel different from or antagonized toward the user or whatever of the symbol and so makes it all right to commit an overt. (4) having committed the overt, the being now feels he has to have a motivator and so feels caved in. This is the stuff of which Hades is made. This is the trap. This is why people get sick. This is stupidity and lack of ability. (HCOB 8 Sept 64)

CYCLE OF A UNIVERSE, could be said to be the cycle of creation, growth, conservation, decay and destruction. This is the cycle of an entire universe or any part of that universe. It is also the cycle of life forms. (Scn 8-8008, p. 97)

CYCLE OF MIS-DEFINITION, (1) a person didn’t grasp a word, then (2) didn’t understand a principle or theory, then (3) became different from it, commits and committed overts against it, then (4) restrained himself or was restrained from committing these overts, then (5) being on a withhold (inflow) pulled in a motivator. Not every word somebody didn’t grasp was followed by a principle or theory. An overt was not committed every time this happened. Not every overt committed was restrained. So no motivator was pulled in. Every nattery or non progressing student or pc is hung in the above 1,2,3,4,5 cycle. And every such student or pc has a misdefined word at the bottom of that pile. (HCOB 21 Feb 66)

CYCLE OF MOTION, go from a no change to a change to a no change. (SH Spec 14, 6106C14)

CYCLE OF RANDOMITY, the cycle of randomity is from static, through optimum, through randomity sufficiently repetitious or similar to constitute another static. (HFP, p. 174)

CYCLE OF SURVIVAL, conception, growth, attainment, decay, death, conception, growth, attainment, decay, death, over and over again. (HFP, p. 20)

CYCLE OF THE ROCK, a person (1) failed to communicate himself; (2) started using something to communicate with; (3) put the last item on automatic and it created for him; (4) it failed. The rock, itself, when first located will be a solution to many earlier cycles as described above. And so, a rock is peeled off cycle by cycle as above. (HCOB 29 Jul 58)

CYCLIC PROCESS, a repetitive process which causes the preclear to cycle on the time track as in recall type processes. HCOB 29 Sept 65, Cyclical and Non-Cyclical Processes).

CYCLIC PSYCHOTIC, a psychotic who becomes completely enturbulated during certain periods of the day, or of the week, or of the month. This type is generally running on a time factor contained in the engram. The incident may have occurred on the twenty-fifth of the month and continued to the thirtieth of every month. Or the incident may have occurred at ten o’clock at night so the psychotic is only insane at ten o’clock every night. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 190).
