HAA, 1. Hubbard Advanced Auditor: a Class IV auditor. This level teaches about service facsimiles and ability. Processes taught include certainty processing and overt justification processes. (CG&AC 75) 2. an alternate name for HAA in 1956 was B Scn or Bachelor of Scn abroad. (HCOB 12 Sept 56) [The term HAA is today used as in def. 1 above.]

HABIT, 1. that stimulus-response reaction dictated by the reactive mind from the content of engrams and put into effect by the somatic mind. It can be changed only by those things which change engrams. (DMSMH, p. 39) 2. simply something one cannot stop. Here we have an example of no control whatever. (PO W, p.46)

HABIT RELEASE, Grade IV Release. (HCOB 22 Sept 65) [The current name for Grade IV Release is Ability Release.] See GRADE IV.

HALF-ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, 1. a continue, an encouragement. (SH Spec 53, 6503C02) 2. sometimes a pc gets scared or lonesome and you have to give him an uh-huh to encourage him. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21)

HALLUCINATIONS, 1. imagined realities with which nobody else agrees. (HFP, p. 41) 2. we call a mental image picture an “hallucination” or more properly an automaticity (something uncontrolled) when it is created by another and seen by self. (FOT, p. 57) 3. things seen that aren’t there. (7203C30SO) 4. a person imagining and not knowing he was imagining would be a person who was hallucinating. (5203CM04B)

HALLUCINATORY CAUSE, the thetan considers that he is actually being more cause (going down the sub-zero scale). This is the exact reverse of the reality of the situation. He is becoming more and more effect. (BTB 6 Feb 60)

HANDLE, finish off, complete, end cycle on. Service and handling are the same thing. When you give service, you handle. Part of handling cases is handle N-O- W! One way or another, one gets the pc handled. (HCOB 15 Jan 70 II)

HANDLING AN ORIGINATION, handling an origination merely tells the person, “All right, I heard it, you’re there.” You might say it is a form of acknowledgement but it’s not. It is the communication formula in reverse; but the auditor is still in control if he handles the origin. (PAB 151) See TR-4.

HANG-FIRE, delayed firing. After the trigger is pulled a gun sometimes doesn’t go off. This is called a “hang-fire” or delayed fire if it then goes off late. (LRH Def. Notes)

HANG-UP, stuck (on time track). (HFP, p. 101)

HAPPINESS, is not itself an emotion. It is a word which states a condition, and the anatomy of that condition is interest. Happiness, you could say, is the overcoming of not unknowable obstacles toward a known goal. (8ACC-4, 5410CM06)

HARD WAY TRs, demand for a start, two hours of no twitch, no blink, no eye redness, no unconscious, no wiggle TR Zero. Really real TRs beginning with Zero. Like the bulletin. (LRH ED 143 INT)

HAS, abbreviation for 1. Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist. (HCOB 23 Aug 65) 2. Hubbard Association of Scientologists. (PAB 75) 3. HCO Area Secretary. (HCOB 20 Nov 71)

HAS CO-AUDIT, using precise processes developed for this section only, the HAS Co-audit (do-it-yourself processing) seeks to improve cases and further interest people in Scn so that they will take individual HGC processing and individual training. (HCO PL 14 Feb 61) [Students in Scn academies do still co-audit, however there is not currently a course specifically called the HAS Co-audit. Students are allowed to co-audit any level on which they have trained. There is also a basic course, the HQS, on which students co-audit.]

HAS COURSE, a course in elementary communication and control. Consists of training drills on communication and to put the student at cause over the environment. There are no prerequisites. The graduate is awarded the certificate of Hubbard Apprentice Scientologist. (CG&AC 75)

HASI, Hubbard Association of Scientologists, International. (PAB 74)

HAT, 1. slang for the title and work of a post in a Scientology Church. Taken from the fact that in many professions such as railroading the type of hat worn is the badge of the job. (HCO PL 1 Jul 65 III) 2. term used to describe the write ups, checksheets and packs that outline the purposes, know-how and duties of a post. It exists in folders and packs and is trained in on the person on the post. (HCO PL 22 Sept 70)

HATE, 1. a total ridge. (5904C08) 2. around 1.5 on the tone scale affinity has almost reversed itself. Its dissonance has become hate, which can be violent and is so expressed. Here, actually, we have a factor of entheta repelling theta. (SOS, p. 56)

HAV, havingness. (BTB 20 Aug 71 II)

HAVING, to be able to touch or permeate or to direct the disposition of. (PAB 83)

HAVINGNESS, 1. that which permits the experience of mass and pressure. (A&L, p. 8) 2. the feeling that one owns or possesses. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13) 3. can be simply defined as ARC with the environment. (SH Spec 294, 6308C14) 4. that activity which is run when needed and when it will not violently deflect the pc’s attention. (SH Spec 85, 6111C28) 5. the result of creation. (SH Spec 19, 6106C23) 6. the ability to duplicate that which one perceives, or create a duplication of what one perceives, or to be willing to create a duplication of it. But it’s duplication. (lSHACC-10, 6009C14) 7. ability to communicate with an isness. The ability to conceive an is-ness and communicate with it. ( 17ACC-4, 5702C28) 8. havingness is the concept of being able to reach or not being prevented from reaching. (SH Spec 126, 6203C29) 9. the need to have terminals and things to play for and on. (Dn 55!, p. 137) Abbr. Hav.

HCA, 1. Hubbard Certified Auditor. A Class II auditor. This level teaches about overt acts and withholds. Among the processes taught are responsibility processes and integrity processes. (CG&AC 75) 2. an early course taught in Scientology Churches only. The certificate of HCA (or HPA, the British equivalent) was awarded by examination only. (HCOTB 12 Sept 56) [The current usage of HCA is as in def. 1 above.] 

HCA/HPA, [At one time HCA and HPA were equivalent certificates, HCA being the American designation and HPA, the British. Data on this appears in HCOTB 12 Sept 56 and HCO PL 1 Oct 58 . The current usages of each of these designations are listed separately under each.]

HCI, Hubbard College of Improvement. (FSO 65) [The name of the Academy on Flag.]

HC LIST, 1. the arbitrary name of the Data Series Correction List. (FO 3179) 2. it’s called an HC List because there was one time going to be something called a Hubbard Consultant and we’ve still got the list . It’s an out-point/plus-point list and it’s simply assessed and handled. (ESTO 4, 7203C02 SO II)

HCO, Hubbard Communications Office. (BPL 5 Nov 72RA)

HCOB, Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin. (HCOB 4 Sept 71 III)

HCO PL, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter. (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R)

HDA , Hubbard Dianetic Auditor. (HCOB 23 Aug 65) [An HDA is a graduate of the Dianetic Auditor’s Course, forerunner to the HSDC. A graduate of the HSDC is known as an HDC, which is the current certificate awarded to a Dn auditor.]

HDC, Hubbard Dianetic Counselor. A graduate of the HSDC. (CG& AC 75) See HUBBARD STANDARD DIANETICS COURSE.

HDG, Hubbard Dianetic Graduate. One who is trained to teach the Dianetic Course after graduating from the HSDC. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

HEALTH FORM, 1. a form done by an auditor. It is metered. The end product of this form is entirely to pick out what to audit. (HCOB 19 May 69) 2. as one needs a guide to know what to audit on a case, the Dn health form is an essential auditing action. You take up and audit each symptom or complaint one after the other. You audit the most available symptom first. Sooner or later the pc will have a well, healthy body, health, stability, and a sense of well-being. (HCOB 19 May 69, Health Form, Use of )

H , E & R, human emotion and reaction. (HCOB 3 Dec 73)

HEAT, the physical sensation associated with the release of energy in the form of heat which is attendent to actual GPMs, their RIs and associated locks. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms)

HEAVILY CHARGED CASE, by which is meant a case with a very heavy burden of secondaries. (SOS, p. 82).

HEAVY FACSIMILE, a heavy facsimile is an experience, complete with all perceptions, emotions, thoughts and efforts, occupying a precise place in space and a moment in time. It can be an operation, an injury, a term of heavy physical exertion, or even a death. It is composed of the preclear’s own effort and the effort of the environment (counter-effort). (AP&A, p. 28)

HELATROBUS, an interplanetary nation. A little pip squeak government, didn’t amount to very much . (SH Spec 268, 6305C23)

HELATROBUS IMPLANTS, 1. call them the heaven implants, they are the implants implanted by Helatrobus. (SH Spec 268, 6305C23) 2. are actually a long chain of engrams, each of which has basics. (SH Spec 272, 6306Cll) 3. implants which begin with the electronic clouds over planets, and the dichotomy, plus and minus, and so forth and sweep on through in a certain series. (SH Spec 266, 6305C21)

HELD-DOWN FIVES, jammed thinking because of a misunderstood or misapplied datums. (HCOB 12 Nov 64) See also HELD DOWN SEVEN.

HELD-DOWN SEVEN, Slang. 1. an enforced wrong datum. (EOS, p. 52) 2. jammed thinking because of a misunderstood or misapplied datum. (HCOB 12 Nov 64) [This term stems from an analogy made by LRH comparing the reactive mind to a computer or adding machine in which the number seven (or five) had been shorted out so that it was always added in in every computation. Of course it could not compute correctly or get correct answers from data as long as this condition existed.] (EOS, p. 51)

HELLO AND OKAY, a very basic process which resolves chronic somatics, eye difficulties, any specific item is to have the affected part or bad area of energy say “Hello” and “Okay” and “All right” until it is in good condition. (Dn 55!, p. 143) [“Hello” and “Okay” process commands can be found in HCOB 22 Mar 58, Clearing Reality.]

HELP, help is the key button which admits auditing. Help is the make-break point between sanity and insanity. That a person cannot accept help along some minor line does not mean that he is insane, but it certainly means he has some neurotic traits. (HCOB 5 May 60)

HELP FACTOR, the willingness to assist. This also has to do with cause-what can the individual cause? An organization which cannot help anybody will have a tendency to fail. (ESTO No. 8, 7203C06SO)

HELP PROCESSING, there are probably thousands of ways help could be run. But the one general process on help that would rank high would be “What have you helped?” “What have you not helped?” alternated. This is the best way I know of to run the sense of what help one has given plus what help one has withheld. This lets the pc as-is his failures to help as well as his denials of help. (HCOB 12 May 60)

HGC, Hubbard Guidance Center. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

HGC ADMIN, Hubbard Guidance Center Administrator. (HCOB 23 Aug 65).

HIDDEN DATA LINE, some students have believed there was a “hidden data line” of tech in Scn, a line on which Scn tech was given out by me but not made known to students. This started me looking, for there is no such line. The whole of technology is released in HCO Bulletins and HCO Policy Letters and tapes I do and release. I don’t tell people anything in some private way, not even instructors. The apparency is somebody’s pretense to know from me more than is on the tapes and in books and mimeos, or, brutally, somebody’s alter-is of materials. This looks like a “hidden data line.” It surely isn’t. (HCO PL 16 Apr 65)

HIDDEN STANDARD, 1. a hidden standard is a problem a person thinks must be resolved before auditing can be seen to have worked. It’s a standard by which to judge Scn or auditing or the auditor. This hidden standard is always an old problem of long duration. It is a postulate-counter-postulate situation. The source of the counter-postulate was suppressive to the pc. (HCOB 8 Nov 65) 2. is not just a physical or mental difficulty but one by which the pc measures his case gains. A case measurement thing used secretly by the pc. (BTB 18 Sept 72) Abbr. HS.

HIGH CRIME CHECKOUTS, 1. star rated checkouts on all processes and their immediate technology and on relevant policy letters on HGC interns or staff auditors in the Tech Division or staff auditors or interns in the Qual Division for the levels and actions they will use before permitting them to audit church pcs and on supervisors in Tech and Qual who instruct or examine. (HCO PL 8 Mar 66) 2. high crime checkouts are done by auditors to their highest class. Any new procedure must be drilled on a doll in addition to the high crime checkout before the OK to audit chit is issued. (BTB 5 Sept 72RA) [High crime checkouts are so named because it is an ethics offense in the nature of a high crime for failing to insist upon this policy or preventing this policy from going into effect or minimizing the checkouts or lists. ]

HIGH CRIMES, suppressive acts. (ISE, p. 48)

HIGH SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION, an extremely precise activity which consists of teaching an auditor not to let a preclear stop him. (HCOB 4 Oct 56)

HI HI INDOC, tone 40 8-C. (PAB 113)

HIGH TA, 1. 3.5 or up at session start. (HCOB 3 Jan 70) 2. a high TA in Scn is always an overrun. In Dn it means an engram too late on the chain to erase is in restimulation. (HCOB 28 Apr 69) 3. high TA means the person can still stop things and is trying to do so. However, all one has to do is restimulate and leave unflat an engram chain to have a high TA. High TA is reflecting the force contained in the chain. (HCOB 16 Jun 70)

HIGH-TONE INDIVIDUAL, thinks wholly into the future. He is extroverted toward his environment. He clearly observes the environment with full perception unclouded by undistinguished fears about the environment. He thinks very little about himself but operates automatically in his own interests. He enjoys existence. His calculations (postulations and evaluations) are swift and accurate. He is very self-confident. He knows he knows and does not even bother to assert that he knows. He controls his environment. (AP&A, p. 37)

HI-LO TA, high low TA. (HCOB 1 Jan 72RA).

HI-LO TA ASSESSMENT FOR CONFESSIONALS. See HI-LO TA ASSESSMENT FOR INTEGRITY PROCESSING.

HI-LO TA ASSESSMENT FOR INTEGRITY PROCESSING, this list is used to get a TA in normal range before proceeding into an Integrity Processing session. It is used after any possible false TA has been checked for and handled, if TA is still below 2.0 or at 3.5 or above. (BTB 6 Dec 72R)

HIT, punished, hurt, etc. (HCOB 1 Nov 68)

HO-HUM, minus randomity. (Abil 56)

HOLDER, 1. any engram command which makes an individual remain in an engram knowingly or unknowingly. (DMSMH Gloss) 2. a species of command. These include such things as “stay here,” “sit right there and think about it,” “come back and sit down,” “I can’t go,” “I mustn’t leave,” etc. (DMSMH, p. 213)

HOLLOW SPOT, a segment of the body which has such a hard impact in the center that all attention units in a mock-up will flow out from the center. It’s an outflow from a central point but the point is a counter-effort. (5206CM24B)

HOME UNIVERSE, the universe a thetan made for himself. (SH Spec 83, 6612C06)

HOMO NOVIS, 1. Homo man, novis new. (BCR, p. 12) 2. a theta-animated mest body posessed of new and desirable attributes; a mest clear, a good, sane rational mest being about a skyscraper higher than Homo sapiens. (HOM, p. 40) 3. the Second Stage Release is definitely Homo novis. The person ceases to respond like Homo sapiens and has fantastic capability to learn and act. (HCOB 28 Jun 65)

HOMO SAPIENS, 1. a mest body, whether it belongs to the race of man or the race of ants is yet but an animated vegetable. Given a theta being to guide it, it becomes part of a composite such as Homo sapiens. By itself, the body would live, walk around, react, sleep, kill, and direct an existence no better than that of a field mouse, or a zombie. Put a theta being over it and it becomes possessed of ethics and morals and direction and goals and the ability to reason; it becomes this strange thing called Homo sapiens. (HOM, p. 42)

HONEST COMPLETION, means a student who has studied all the materials of the course using full study tech. Has done the demonstrations and drills, and can effectively apply the materials of the course. (HCO PL 16 May 73R)

HOPE, the desire that sometime in the future one will cease to have something which he no longer wants but can’t seem to get rid of or that one will acquire something he wants. (2ACC-31A, 5312CM22)

HOPE FACTOR, 1. validating those good indicators that are present in the pc. When an auditor doesn’t he’s not really putting in a hope factor. Validating the good indicator is a lessening of the somatic or condition. (SH Spec 3, 6401C09) 2. something can be done about it. (SH Spec 297, 6308C21)

HOT QUESTION, question with reaction on it. (SH Spec 63, 6110C05)

HPA, Hubbard Professional Auditor. A Class III auditor. This level deals with ARC and ARC breaks. Listing and nulling and two-way comm are taught at this level, as well as change processes and ARC Break SW. (CG&AC 75)

HQS, Hubbard Qualified Scientologist. A basic Scn course which teaches about co-auditing and how to handle other people, with group auditing. It consists of, in part, TRs 0 to 4 and 6 to 9, plus students actually co-audit on CCHs, Op Pro by Dup and Self Analysis lists. There is no prerequisite for this course. (CG&AC 75)

HRS, Hubbard Recognized Scientologist. A Class 0 auditor. This level teaches about communication. Processes taught are Level O processes and ARC SW processes. (CG&AC 75)

HS, hidden standard. (HCOB 10 Jun 72 V)

HSDC, Hubbard Standard Dianetics Course. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

HSS, Hubbard Senior Scientologist. A Class VI auditor. An HSS is a graduate of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. This course consists of the full practical application of Scn grades, repair, setups, assists and special cases tech up to Class VI. (CG&AC 75)

HSST, Hubbard Specialist of Standard Tech, Class VIII Case Supervisor. (CG&AC 75)

HSTS, Hubbard Standard Technical Specialist. A Class VIII auditor. The Class VIII Course teaches exact handling of all cases up to 100 per cent result, as well as Class VIII procedures, all case setup actions, all processes and corrective actions, as well as flubless Class VIII auditing. (CG&AC 75)

HTS, Hubbard Trained Scientologist. A Class I auditor. This level teaches about problems. The processes taught include objective processes and Level I processes, such as help and control processes. (CG&AC 75)

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE BULLETIN, HCOBs written by LRH only. These are the technical issue line. They are valid from first issue unless specifically cancelled. All data for auditing and courses is contained in HCOBs. They are distributed as indicated, usually to technical staff. They are red ink on white paper, consecutive by date. (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R)

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE POLICY LETTER, HCO PLs written by LRH only. This is a permanently valid issue of all Third Dynamic, organization and administrative technology. These, regardless of date or age, form the know-how in running a Scientology Church, organization, group or company. The bulk of hat material is made up from HCO PLs. They are printed in green ink on white paper and are distributed to all staff or as indicated or as made up in packs. (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R)

HUBBARD CONSULTANT, A Hubbard Consultant is skilled in testing, two-way comm, consultation, programming and interpersonal relations. This is the certificate especially awarded to persons trained to handle personnel, students and staff. These technologies and special training were developed to apply Scn auditing skills to the field of administration especially. An HC is requisite for course supervisors and student consultants. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) Abbr. HC.

HUBBARD ELECTROMETER, is called an E-meter for short. Technically it is a specially developed Wheatstone bridge well known to electrically minded people as a device to measure the amount of resistance to a flow of electricity. (BIEM, p. 1) See E-METER.

HUBBARD GUIDANCE CENTER, that department of the technical division of a Scientology Church which delivers auditing. Department 12, Division 4. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Abbr. HGC.

HUBBARD STANDARD DIANETICS COURSE, teaches about the human mind, mental image pictures, the time track, locks, secondaries and engrams. The processes taught are Standard Dn auditing and Dn assists. (CG&AC 75) Abbr. HSDC.

HUMAN ENGINEERING, it’s adapting the machinery to fit the person. It’s adapting machinery and spatial arrangements and desks and chairs and things like that. The adjustment of the machinery and spatial arrangements to the people who are operating it is important. (ESTO No. 12, 7203C06 SO II)

HUMAN EVALUATION, a diagnosis of behavior. (5108CM13A)

HUMANITARIAN OBJECTIVE, the humanitarian objective is to make a safe environment in which the fourth dynamic engram can be audited out. By engram we mean the mental block that prevents peace and tolerance; by fourth dynamic we mean that impulse to survive as mankind instead of just individuals. Obviously we must do this. (Ron’s Jour 68)

HUMAN MIND, see MIND.

HUMOR, humor is rejection. The ability to reject. The ability to throw something away. That is humor. (8ACC-27, 5411CM05)

HURDY-GURDY SYSTEM, a “hurdy-gurdy” was a musical instrument played by turning a crank so that a wheel striking strings in turn caused music. The “hurdy-gurdy” system was so called because the auditor went round and round the points of the ARC triangle (A-R-C) plus enforced and dominate, inhibit and nullify on persons the pc had known, session after session to restore his memory. Mentioned on page 65, Book 2, Science of Survival and described in full later in that same chapter on pages 77-83. (LRH Def. Notes)

HVA, 1. Hubbard Validated Auditor. A Class V auditor. This level is taught at Church of Scientology Saint Hill organizations and contains materials about the chronological development of Scn with full theory and application. (CG&AC 75) 2. Class V reviews all the classes and retrains where necessary and awards permanent classification for all the lower certificates as well as Class V. (Aud 8 UK)

HYPER-SONIC, if a person hears voices which have not existed and yet supposes that these voices really spoke, we have “over-imagination.” In Dn imaginary sound recall would be hyper-sonic, (hyper=over). (DMSMH, p. 188).

HYPER-VISIO, if a person sees scenes which have not existed and yet supposes these scenes were real, we have “over imagination.” In Dn imaginary sight recall would be hyper-visio, (hyper=over). (DMSMN, p. 188)

HYPNOTISM, 1. an address to the reactive mind. It reduces self-determinism by interposing the commands of another below the analytical level of an individual’s mind; it enturbulates a case markedly, and materially aberrates human beings by keying in engrams which would otherwise lie dormant. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 220) 2. a continuing inflow without an opportunity on the part of the subject to outflow. (Dn 55!, p. 63) 3. the process of restimulating states of apathy by the introduction of additional engramic content which would thereafter be as compulsive as the other data in the incident. (5109CM17B) 4. amnesia trance for the purpose of planting suggestions. (Exp Jour Winter-Spring 1950)

HYPO-HEARING, a condition in which a person has something he is afraid to hear. He plays the radio very loudly, makes people repeat continually and misses pieces of the conversation. Men and women are “hysterically” deaf without any conscious knowledge of it. Their “hearing just isn’t so good.” In Dn, this is being called hypo-hearing, (hypo=under). (DMSMH, p. 189)

HYPO-SIGHT, the person who is always losing something when it lies in fair view before him, who misses signposts, theater bills and people who are in plain sight is “hysterically” blind to some degree. He is afraid he will see something. In Dn this is being called, since the word “hysterical” is a very inadequate and overly dramatic one, hypo-sight, (hypo=under). (DMSMH, p. 189)

HYSTERIA, the phenomenon of being out of control. (AAR, p. 91).

i.



  “I”, 1. the will, the determining force of the organism, the awareness. (DMSMH, p. 87) 2. the awareness of awareness unit. (NOTL, p. 69) 3. the thetan, the center of awareness, that part of the total organism that is fundamentally cause. (CONA Gloss)

IATROGENIC, means illness generated by doctors. An operation during which the doctor’s knife slipped, and accidentally harmed the patient might cause an iatrogenic illness or injury since the fault would have been with the surgeons. (DMSMH, p. 172)

IDEAL STATE, what do we mean by an ideal state. A state somebody wanted to be in over which he had full power of choice. That would be an ideal state. (SH Spec 273, 6306C12)

IDENTIFICATION, 1. the inability to evaluate differences in time, location, form, composition, or importance. ( SOS, p. 153) 2. identification is a monotone assignment of importance. (SOS, p. 153) 3. the lowest level of reasoning is complete inability to differentiate, which is to say, identification. (SOS, p.153) 4. Duplicating in one space continually, is in itself identification. (2ACC-25B, 5312CM17)

ILL, being medically diagnosed as suffering from a known, well defined physical illness susceptible to medical care and relief. (HCO PL 6 Oct 58)

ILLUSION, 1. a surface manifestation which disappears when experience is consulted. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 2. a product of the actual. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 3. any idea, space, energy, object or time concept which one creates himself. (Scn 8-8008 Gloss)

IMAGINARY CAUSE, imagining they do or cause things bad or good. (HCOB 1 Nov 68 II)

IMAGINARY VISIO, the scenery imagination constructs. (SOS, p. 72) See DUB-IN.
IMAGINATION, 1. the recombination of things one has sensed, thought or intellectually computed into existence, which do not necessarily have existence. This is the mind’s method of envisioning desirable goals or forecasting futures. (DMSMH, p. 14) 2. the ability to create or forecast a future or to create, change or destroy a present or past. (Scn 8-8008, p. 7) 3. if you take the word imagination apart, you will discover that it means merely the postulating of images or the assembly of perceptions into creations as you desire them. (SA, p. 158)

IMMORTALITY, infinite survival, the absolute goal of survival. The individual seeks this on the first dynamic as an organism and as a theta entity and in the perpetuation of his name by his group. On the second dynamic he seeks it through children and so on through the eight dynamics. Life survives through the persistence of theta. A species survives through the persistence of the life in it. A culture survives through the persistence of the species using it. There is evidence that the theta of an individual may survive as a personal entity from life to life through many lives on earth. (SOS Gloss)

IMPACT, cause and effect simultaneously. (PAB 30)

IMPLANT, 1. a painful and forceful means of overwhelming a being with artificial purpose or false concepts in a malicious attempt to control and suppress him. (Aud 71 ASHO) 2. an electronic means of overwhelming the thetan with a significance. (HCOB 8 May 63) 3. an unwilling and unknowing receipt of a thought. An intentional installation of fixed ideas, contra survival to the thetan. (SH Spec 83, 6612C06)

IMPLANT GOAL, an implanted goal-a goal the thetan himself has not decided upon-but which has been induced in him by overwhelming force or persuasion. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms)

IMPLANT GOAL, an implanted goal problem mass. An electronic means of overwhelming the thetan with a significance using the mechanics of the actual pattern of living to entrap the thetan and force obedience to behavior patterns. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms)

IMPLOSION, something that could be likened to the collapse of a field of energy such as a sphere toward a common center point, making an inflow. It can happen with the same violence as an explosion; but does not necessarily do so. (Scn 8- 8008, p. 49)

IMPORTANCE, is mass. In thinkingness when you say importance you mean mass. (SH Spec 39, 6108C15)

IN , things which should be there and are or should be done and are, are said to be “in”; i.e. “We got scheduling in.” (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

INACCESSIBLE CASE, that person who is bound and determined to stay sick, who won’t talk to you, will have nothing to do with being healed in any way, is an inaccessible case. (5011C22)

INADVERTENT WITHHOLD, 1. the pc thinks he is withholding because the auditor didn’t hear or acknowledge. (HCOB 13 Sept 65) 2. he didn’t intend to withhold it, just nobody would acknowledge it. He never intended to withhold it at all. An inadvertent withhold will cause very near the same phenomenon as an actual withhold. (SH Spec 60, 6506Cll)

INCIDENT, an experience, simple or complex, related by the same subject, location, perception or people that takes place in a short and finite time period such as minutes, hours or days; also, mental image pictures of such experiences. (HCOB 12 Dec 71 IX)

INCREDIBLE CHAIN, it’s the things that have happened on his track which are, to him, incredible. And because they are so incredible he doesn’t believe them, and neither does anybody else. But it’s most because nobody else believed them. And he doesn’t believe them himself so the chain itself remains hidden because it’s incredible; the incredible chain. (ESTO 5, 7203C03 SO I)

IND, “Ind” for indicated to pc. (HCOB 26 Jun 71)

INDICATOR, a condition or circumstance arising in a session which indicates whether the session is running well or badly. (HCOB 28 Dec 63) 2. the little flag sticking out that shows there is a possible situation underneath that needs attention. (HCO PL 15 May 70 II)

INDICATORS, those manifestations in a person or group that indicate whether it is doing well or poorly, signal an approaching change, or show that the auditing process has reached the desired end point. (HCOB 20 Feb 70)

IN-DISPERSAL, where the flows are all traveling toward a common center. One might call this an implosion. (Scn 8-8008, pp. 17-18)

INDIVIDUAL, 1. an individual is a collection of “memories” going back to his first appearance on earth. In other words, he is the composite of all his facsimiles plus his impulse to be. Individuality depends upon facsimiles. (HFP, p. 111) 2. somebody who is operating in coordination with himself twenty-four hours a day.  That’s an individual. An organism which is unhappy, aberrated, is an organism which is working at cross purposes with itself twenty-four hours a day. (5110CMllB) 3. when we say the individual we are talking about something as precise as an apple. We are not talking about a collection of behavior patterns which we all learned about in the study of rats. We are talking about something that is finite. We are talking about somebody. The somethingness that you are and the capabilities you can be and this is what we are talking about. We are not talking about the color of your hair or the length of your feet. We are talking about you. (Abil Mi 5)

INDIVIDUATION, a separation from knowingness. (5203CMlOB)

INDOC, indoctrination. (HCOB 10 Apr 57)

INERT INCIDENT, 1. an incident which is an inert incident is not having any effect on the pc. It’s not part of his aberrative picture. (SH Spec 300, 6308C28) 2. an incident, unrestimulated. (SH Spec 300, 6308C28)

IN ETHICS, see ETHICS, Def. 5 .

INFINITY SYMBOL, As seen in some Scientology books, stood upright-8 . (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

INFINITY-VALUED LOGIC, in Dn, there is a new way of thinking about things which underlies a great deal of its technology. Instead of two-valued logic or three-valued logic we have infinity-valued logic. Here is a gradient scale which permits no absolute at either end. In other words, there is not an absolute right and an absolute wrong, just as there is no absolute stillness and no absolute motion. Of course, it is one of the tenets of Dn that absolutes are not attainable but only approachable. (SOS, Bk. 2, pp. 249-250) See also LOGIC.

INSANE, 1. the truly insane cannot control or withhold their evil impulses and dramatize them at least covertly. The insane are not always visible. But they are visible enough. And they are malicious. (HCOB 10 May 72) 2. having been pronounced insane by a psychiatrist or being incapable of any responsibility for social conduct. (HCO PL 6 Oct 58)

INSANE CERTAINTY, would be no certainty at all, or a certainty asserted by only one or two people and disagreed with by all others. (Cert, Vol. 10, No. 12)

INSANE PC, by insane pc is meant one who is subject to highly irrational and destructive behavior. (HCO PL 12 Jun 69)

INSANITY, 1. the overt or covert but always complex and continuous determination to harm or destroy. (HCOB 28 Nov 70) 2. insanity is most often the suppressed agony of actual physical illness and injury. (HCOB 2 Apr 69) 3. the obsessive adaptation of a solution to the exclusion of all other solutions in the absence of a problem . ( SH Spec 27X, 6107C04) 4. the inability to associate or differentiate properly. (Scn 8-8008, p. 44) 5. insanity is an emotion which is brought about by the compulsion to reach and the inhibition not to reach or the compulsion not to reach and the inhibition to reach. (2ACC-18A, 5312CM08) 6. the best definition of which I know would be: the person widely believes that the symbols are the things. (PDC 20) 7. insanity is an individual assisting things which inhibit survival and destroying things which assist survival. (5109CM24A) 8. if an individual is incapable of adjusting himself to his environment so as to get along with or obey or command his fellows, or, more importantly, if he is incapable of adjusting his environment, then he can be considered to be “insane.” But it is a relative term. (DMSMH, p. 380) 9. the point between where a person who is sane goes thereafter insane is very precise. It’s the exact point at which he begins to stop something. At that moment he is insane. At first he is insane on that one subject; then he can get another idée fixe and become insane on another subject, thus getting cumulative insanity. But there is no doubt of his insanity on that one subject, something that he is trying to stop. (6711C18SO) 10. insanity itself is simply must reach -can’t reach, must withdraw-can’t withdraw. (SH Spec 98, 6201C10)

IN-SCANNING, taking energy manifestations that were in the incident as they flowed in toward the preclear. That’s in-scanning. That’s environment to the preclear in the incident. (5203CM04B)

IN SESSION, the definition of in session is interested in own case and willing to talk to the auditor. When this definition describes the session in progress, then of course the pc will be able to as-is and will cognite. (HCOB 26 Apr 73 I)

INSTANT READ, 1. that reaction of the needle which occurs at the precise end of any major thought voiced by the auditor. (HCOB 25 May 62) 2. if the needle reacts within 1/5 to 1/10 of a second after the question is asked, it is an instant read. This is valid. If it reacts 1/2 to 1 second after the question, this is invalid. (HCOB 28 Sept 61)

INSTANT ROCK SLAM, that “rock slam” which begins at the end of the major thought of any item. Symbol IRS. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

INSTANT RUDIMENT READ, on rudiments, repetitive or fast, the instant read can occur anywhere within the last word of the question or when the thought major has been anticipated by the preclear, and must be taken up by the auditor. This is not a prior read. Preclears poorly in session, being handled by auditors with indifferent TR-l, anticipate the instant read reactively as they are under their own control. Such a read occurs in the body of the last meaningful word in the question. It never occurs latent. (EMD, p. 37)

INSTITUTIONALIZED, having been committed to a public or private institution for the insane. (HCO PL 6 Oct 58)

IN TECH, when tech is in , we mean that Scn is being applied and is being correctly applied. (HCOB 13 Sept 65)

INTEGRITY, (1.) the condition of having no part or element taken away or wanting; undivided or unbroken state; wholeness. (2.) the condition of not being marred or violated; unimpaired or uncorrupted condition; soundness. (3.) soundness or moral principle; the character of uncorrupted virtue, especially in relation to truth and fair dealing; uprightness, honesty, sincerity. (BTB 4 Dec 72)

INTEGRITY PROCESSING, that processing which enables a person, within the reality of his own moral codes and those of the group, to reveal his overts so he no longer requires to withhold and so enhances his own integrity and that of the group. (BTB 4 Dec 72) Abbr. IP.

INTELLIGENCE, 1. is the ability to recognize differences, similarities and identities. (HCO PL 26 Apr 70R) 2. the ability to perceive, pose and resolve problems. (Scn 0-8, p. 64) 3. the ability of an individual, group or race to resolve problems relating to survival. (Scn 0-8, p. 61).

INTELLIGENCE GAIN, loss of restimulation by stupidity by reason of attempts to confront or experience the problems of life (intelligence appears when stupidity is keyed out or erased). Intelligence is a confronting ability. (HCOB 28 Feb 59)

INTENSIVE, an intensive is defined as any one single period of 12 1/2 hours or 25 hours of auditing delivered all within one single week or weekends on a set schedule. (HCO PL 20 Oct 71)

INTENSIVE PROCEDURE, the Standard Operating Procedure, 1954, given in The Creation of Human Ability, by L. Ron Hubbard. (PXL, p. 277)

INTENTION, 1. intention is the command factor as much as anything else. If you intend something to happen it happens if you intend it to happen. Verbalization is not the intention. The intention is the carrier wave which takes the verbalization along with it. (Abil 270) 2. degree of relative beingness which an individual desires to assume as plotted on the tone scale. (5203CM04A)

INTENTIONAL WITHHOLD, one which is a withhold because he would be punished if he admitted it. (SH Spec 63, 6110C05)

INTEREST, 1. interest is more consideration than attention, and is therefore attention with intention. Interest, therefore, could be defined as this; attention with an intention to give or attract attention. (COHA, p. 103) 2. interest does not mean happiness and joy. Interest is only absorbed attention and a desire to talk about it. (HCOB 1 Jul 63)

INTERESTED/INTERESTING, 1. a thetan is interested, and an object is interesting. A thetan is not interesting. He is interested. And when a person becomes terribly interesting he has lots of problems. That is the chasm that is crossed by all of your celebrities, anybody who is foolish enough to become famous. He crosses over from being interested in life to being interesting, and people who are interesting are really no longer interested in life. (PXL, p. 191) 2. “A” has the intention of interesting “b.” “B” to be talked to, becomes interesting. Similarly “b,” when he emanates a communication, is interested and “a” is interesting. Cause is interested, effect is interesting. (Dn 55 .!, p. 66)

INTERIORIZATION, 1. interiorization means going into it too fixedly, and becoming part of it too fixedly. It doesn’t mean just going into your head. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13) 2. if the havingness of the preclear is low, he is apt to close in tight to the body because this gives him more havingness and if the preclear fears that the body is going to go out of control he will also move in closer to the body. Thus we get interiorization as no more complicated than fear of loss of control and drops in havingness. (SCP, p. 18) Abbr. Int.

INTERIORIZATION RUNDOWN, 1. also known as Int-Ext RD for Interiorization-Exteriorization Rundown. (HCOB 24 Sept 71) 2. the Interiorization Rundown is a remedy designed to permit the pc to be further audited after he has gone exterior. The Int Rundown is not meant to be sold or passed off as a method of exteriorizing a pc. (HCOB 17 Dec 71R) See EXTERIORIZATION RUNDOWN.

INTERN(E), an advanced graduate or a recent graduate in a professional field who is getting practical experience under the supervision of an experienced worker. (HCOB 19 Jul 71)

INTERN(E)SHIP, serving a period as an intern, or an activity offered by a Church of Scientology by which experience can be gained. The apprenticeship of an auditor is done as a Scientology Church intern. A course graduate becomes an auditor by auditing. That means lots of auditing. (HCOB 19 Jul 71).

INTERROGATION, ( SILENT), how to read an E -meter on a silent subject. When the person placed on a meter will not talk but can be made to hold the cans, it is still possible to obtain full information from the person asking questions, one expects no reply, asks for no pictures. The auditor just watches the needle for dips when questions are asked. (HCOB 30 Mar 60)

INT-EXT, interiorization-exteriorization. (HCOB 30 May 70)

INT-EXT RD, Interiorization-Exteriorization Rundown. (HCOB 24 Sept 71)

INT RD , Interiorization Rundown also known as Int-Ext RD for Interiorization-Exteriorization Rundown. (HCOB 24 Sept 71)

INTRODUCTION OF AN ARBITRARY, an arbitrary may be considered as a factor introduced into a problem’s solution when that factor does not derive from a known natural law but only from an opinion or authoritarian command. A problem resolved by data derived from known natural laws resolves well and smoothly and has a useful solution. When a problem is resolved by introducing arbitraries (factors based on opinion or command but not natural law) then that solution, when used, will ordinarily require more arbitraries to make the solution applicable. The harder one tries to apply the solution corrupted by arbitraries to any situation, the more arbitraries have to be introduced. (SOS Gloss)

INTROSPECTION RUNDOWN, the essence of the Introspection Rundown is looking for and correcting all those things which caused the person to look inward, worriedly and wrestle with the mystery of some incorrectly designated error. The end phenomena is the person extroverted, no longer looking inward worriedly in a continuous self-audit without end. (HCOB 23 Jan 74RA)

INTROVERSION, 1. looking in too closely. (POW, p. 92) 2. a manifestation of the analytical mind trying to solve problems on improper data, and observing the organism being engaged in activities which are not conducive to survival along the dynamics. (DTOT, p. 105)

INTROVERTED, he would look in on himself . ( SH Spec 84, 6612C13)

INT RUNDOWN CORRECTION LIST, used when Int-Ext reads on any repair list and the Int RD has already been done or corrected, when a bog occurs on the Int RD itself, or if pc upset after Int RD and/or TA gone high or low immediately after. Don’t re-run Int RD-use the correction list. EP is all reading items handled to F/N, EP of Int RD, and INT-Ext no longer reading. (BTB 11 Aug 72RA)

INVADER FORCES, 1. an electronics people. The electronics people usually happen to be an evolutionary line which is on heavy gravity planet and so they develop electronics. The reason you say invader force at all is because at some time along the line fairly early in its youth it took off to conquer the whole mest universe. You could expect almost anything in terms of physical form particularly physical form which matched the peculiar purpose of this group. They’ve usually got some gimmick like Fac One. Control has been the main thing. The way to control territory is control people. (5206CM27A) 2. there are five invader forces active and one aborning, but the one aborning is not active. It will probably be several million years before you begin to see this one, some of you hit the track 60 trillion years ago mest universe and some of you didn’t get into the mest universe until about 3 trillion years ago that is invader force one and invader force two. This is E-meter data confirmed from preclear to preclear. Now we don’t see anything of invader force three here on earth. I just haven’t found any threes. Invader force four is really holding the fort someplace or other. Every little while, a few million years, some planet will get taken over by an invader force. (5206CM27A) See also FIFTH INVADER FORCE.

IN VALENCE, what we mean by “in valence” is simply in the valence he was in when the engram occurred. Now when we say out of valence we mean simply and entirely the pc was not in the body he was occupying during the incident . ( SH Spec 51, 6109C07)

INVALIDATION, 1. refuting or degrading or discrediting or denying something someone else considers to be fact. (HCOB 2 Jun 71 I) 2. any thought, emotion or effort, or counter-thought, counter-emotion or counter-effort which denies or smothers the thought, emotion or effort of the individual. (NOM, p. 56) 3. invalidation by words is the symbolic level of being struck. (2ACC-19B, 5312CM09) 4. basically, non-attention. Attention itself is quite important for attention is necessary before an effect can be created. (PAB 8) 5. invalidation is force applied. You apply enough force to anybody and you’ve invalidated him. How invalidated can he get? Dead! (5207CM24B) Abbr. Inval.

INVALIDATION OF AUDITORS, could be defined as (a) letting an auditor lose, (b) correcting things he does right. (HCOB 1 Sept 71 I)

INVENTION PROCESSING, this is done by having the preclear invent various ideas or considerations by which he creates stable data to displace aberrated stable data, and to handle confusions. (Op. Bull. No. 1)

INVERSION, 1. a switch to an opposite obsessive consideration such as from compulsion to inhibition. There may be many inversions on any consideration, each leading further from self-determinism. (COHA Gloss) 2. his resistance has been overcome so that when it tries to outflow, it inflows. That’s an inversion and that’s what’s meant by inversion. A person tries to outflow, he inflows- in other words, he exactly reverses his consideration on the thing. (8ACC-8, 5410CM12) 3. the flows have exactly turned around and that’s what we know as an inversion and that’s exactly why we call it an inversion; because it’s a flow going backwards. (SH Spec 6, 6106C02)

INVERTED DYNAMICS, we can take a person and actually have him be someplace else when he is right there. See, he’ll still keep this body but he’ll actually be and operate someplace else and you’ll run into this every once in a while in a preclear. We call this inverted dynamics. (2ACC-lB, 5311CM17).

INVISIBLE CASE, cannot see mock-ups. They have no field and do not see anything when they close their eyes, everything is invisible, they have no facsimiles, no mock-ups. (PAB 154)

INVISIBLE FIELD, a part of some lock, secondary or engram that is “invisible.” It like a black field responds to R3R. (HCOB 23 Apr 69)

IP, see INTEGRITY PROCESSING.

IQ, 1. intelligence quotient. IQ ratings are a measure of an individual’s capacity for learning something new; they are scales based upon how old in years a person has become compared to how “old,” he is mentally. (SOS, p. xxi) 2. the degree that a person can observe, understand actions. (SH Spec 100, 6201C16)

IRRATIONALITY, the inability to get right answers from data. (DMSMH, p. 16)

IS-ES, THE, S11mg. the four conditions of existence. (PXL, p. 214) [These four conditions are listed separately under AS-ISNESS, ALTER-ISNESS, IS-NESS, NOT-ISNESS.]

IS-NESS, 1. is-ness is an apparency of existence brought about by the continuous alteration of an as-isness. This is called, when agreed upon, reality. (PXL, p. 154) 2. something that is persisting on a continuum. That is our basic definition of is-ness. (PXL, p. 91) 3. is -ness is an apparency, it is not an actuality. (PXL, p. 175)

“ISSUE I”, first issue of that date. [“issue” as seen on HCOBs and HCO PLs.] (HCOB 4 Sept 71 III)

ITEM, 1. any one of a list of things, people, ideas, significances, purposes, etc., given by a preclear to an auditor while listing; any separate thing or article; in particular, one placed on a list by a pc. (Dn Today, p. 1028) 2. somatic or sensation etc. (HCOB 27 May 70) 3. any terminal, opposition terminal, combination terminal, significance, or idea (but not a doingness, which is called “a level”) appearing on a list derived from the pc. (HCOB 8 Nov 62) Symbol IT.

ITSA, 1. the action of the pc saying “It’s a this or it’s a that.” (HCOB 6 Nov 64) 2. letting the pc say what’s there that was put there to hold back a confusion or problem. (HCOB 1 Oct 63) 3. pc saying what is, what is there, who is there, where it is, what it looks like, ideas about, decisions about, solutions to, things in his environment. The pc talking continuously about problems or puzzlements or wondering about things in his environment, is not itsaing. (HCOB 16 Oct 63) 4. a pc who is itsaing is simply looking at and identifying some thing. (SH Spec 320, 6310C31) 5. TA comes from saying “It is . . .” Itsa isn’t even a comm line. It’s what travels on a comm line from pc to auditor, if that which travels is saying with certainty “It is.” (HCOB 1 Oct 63)

ITSA LINE, the pc’s line to the auditor. (HCOB 23 May 71 III)

ITSA MAKER LINE, the pc’s line to his bank. (HCOB 23 May 71

IVORY TOWER RULE, the case supervisor is most successful when he supervises in seclusion. This is called the Ivory Tower rule. (HCOB 8 Aug 71).



J.


JAMMING THE TRACK, Slang. sticking, holding the time track. (PAB 106)

JEALOUSY, is basically an inability to confront the unknown. (SH Spec 43, 6108C22)

JIGGLE-JIGGLE, needle manifestation. A vibration. You’ve got somebody with an alternating current ridge. ( SH Spec 1, 6105C07)

JOBURG, a comprehensive security checklist developed in Johannesburg, South Africa. (Ab1,1218)

JOINT POSITION, the recall of bodily attitudes. (SOS Gloss)

JUDICIARY DIANETICS, covers the field of adjudication within the society and amongst the societies of man. Of necessity it embraces jurisprudence and its codes and establishes precision definitions and equations for the establishment of equity. It is the science of judgment. (DMSMH, p. 402)

JUMP CHAINS, the main liability (in Dn auditing) of pushing a pc past a win is that he may “jump chains” and begin another chain with no assessment. (HCOB 23 Jun 69)

JUNIOR CASE, if father was named George and the patient is called George, beware of trouble. The engram bank takes George to mean George and that is identity thought de luxe. A junior case is seldom easy. (DMSMH, p. 305)

JUSTICE, 1. the action of the group against the individual when he has failed to get his own ethics in. (HCOB 15 Nov 72 II) 2. could be called the adjudication of the relative rightness or wrongness of a decision or an action. (AP&A, p. 10)

JUSTIFICATION, explaining away the most flagrant wrongnesses. Most explanations of conduct, no matter how far fetched, seem perfectly right to the person making them since he or she is only asserting self-rightness and other-wrongness. (HCOB 22 Jul 63)

JUSTIFIED THOUGHT, the attempt of the analytical mind to explain the reactive, engramic, reactions of the organism in the ordinary course of living. Justified thought is the effort of the conscious mind to explain away aberration without admitting, as it cannot do normally, that it has failed the organism. (DTOT, p. 42)

JUSTIFIER, 1. the technical term we apply to the “mock-up” or overt act demanded by a person guilty of an unmotivated act. (COHA, p. 156) 2. a mocked up motivator. (8ACC-16, 5410CM21)

JUSTIFIER-HUNGRY, an act must be considered harmful or evil to be an overt act. To need a justifier a person must have believed his act to have been harmful. In that a thetan cannot possibly, actually, be harmed, any harmful act he performs is an unmotivated act. As the thetan cannot experience a motivator overt act sequence, we have the dwindling spiral. He is always justifier hungry. Thus he punishes and restimulates himself. Thus he is always complaining about what others do to him. Thus he is a problem to himself. (COHA, p. 156).

k.

KEEPER OF TECH, is the highest technically trained personnel in the field. He/she is usually located in a very specific area (Church), where they can be contacted and communicated with any time. The major duty of any Keeper of Tech is to ensure that the standard of Dn and Scn technology, processing and case supervision is applied and maintained as originated by LRH, as its 100 per cent rate, in the area they are keeping tech in. (FO 2354)

KERFUFFLE, Slang. an upset. (SH Spec 45, 6411C03)

KEYED-OUT CLEAR, 1. when you find what lock words have been tied into the GPMs in this or even an earlier lifetime and key them out (destimulate them) (untie them from the main mass) the GPMs sink back into proper alignment and cease being effective. This makes a key-out Clear. This condition is valuable because the GPMs are now confrontable one by one (not dozens by dozens) and Routine 6 can be run easily on the preclear. (HCOB 17 Oct 64 III) 2. this is a simulated Clear, we call it a “keyed-out Clear” quite properly. But it isn’t a Clear, it’s a release. The person has been released from his reactive mind. He still has that reactive mind but he is not in it. He is just released from it. (HCOB 2 Apr 65)

KEYED-OUT OT, 1. released OT. (HCOB 30 Jun 65) 2. the pc is still a pre-clear though a keyed-out OT. This really isn’t a thetan exterior. The thetan exterior is quite unstable and can be attained below an ordinary first stage release. Keyed-out OT is not done by routine auditing, being an offshoot of it that happens sometimes. (HCOB 28 Jun 65)

KEY-IN, v. 1. the action of recording a lock on a secondary or engram. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) -n. 1. 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. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 29) 2. 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. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 136)

KEY-OUT, v. 1. an action of the engram or secondary dropping away without being erased. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) -n. 2. the person without knowing what the earlier instance was has had the lock vanish. That’s a key-out. (SH Spec 122. 6203C19)-adj. 3. released from the stimulus-response mechanisms of the reactive mind. (PXL, p. 18) 4. release or separation from one’s reactive mind or some portion of it. (PXL, p. 252)

KINESTHESIA, 1. by kinesthesia we perceive motion through space and time. (SOS, p. 59) 2. weight and muscular motion. (DMSMH, p. 46)

KINETIC, something which has considerable motion. (Scn 8-80, p. 43)

KINETIC MOTION, something that’s moving. Or a potentiality of motion. (PDC 18)

KNOW BEST, a technical and admin term. In tech it refers to an auditor who in misapplying a process on a pc considers he knows more than is actually contained in the technical bulletins on the subject and uses this “know best” as a basis for altering technical procedure. In admin it refers similarly to a person who considers he has a better way of accomplishing something than is contained in the policy letters covering that subject and messes things up. Management then finds itself left with the task of correcting that person’s goofs by applying the correct standard policy to the area. In English, it is a derogatory term meaning the person is pretending to know while actually being stupid. (LRH Def. Notes).

KNOWING CAUSE, the person at cause is there because he knows he is there and because he is willingly there. The person at cause is not at cause because he does not dare be at effect. He must be able to be at effect. If he is afraid to be at effect, then he is unwilling cause and is at cause only because he is very afraid of being at effect. (SCP, p. 9)

KNOWINGNESS, 1. being certainness. (PAB 1) 2. a capability for truth; it is not data. (PDC 47) 3. knowingness would be self-determined knowledge. (5405C20)

KNOWLEDGE, 1. by knowledge we mean assured belief, that which is known information, instruction; enlightenment, learning; practical skill. By knowledge we mean data, factors and whatever can be thought about or perceived. (FOT, p. 76) 2. knowledge is more than data; it is also the ability to draw conclusions. (DAB, Vol. II, p. 69) 3. a whole group or subdivision of a group of data or speculations or conclusions on data or methods of gaining data. (Scn 0-8, p. 67)

KNOW-POINT, a know-point is senior to a viewpoint. An individual would not have dependency on space or mass or anything else. He’d simply know where he was. (PXL, p. 257)

KNOW-TO-MYSTERY SCALE, the scale of affinity from knowingness down through lookingness, emotingness, effortingness, thinkingness, symbolizingness, eatingness, sexingness and so through to not-knowingness-mystery. The know-to-sex scale was the earlier version of this scale. (PXL, p. 49)

KOT, Keeper of Tech. (FO 2354)

KRC TRIANGLE, the upper triangle in the Scn symbol. The points are K for knowledge, R for responsibility, and C for control. It is difficult to be responsible for something or control something unless you have knowledge of it. It is folly to try to control something or even know something without responsibility. It is hard to fully know something or be responsible for something over which you have no control, otherwise the result can be an overwhelm. Little by little one can make anything go right by: increasing KNOWLEDGE on all dynamics, increasing RESPONSIBILITY on all dynamics, increasing CONTROL on all dynamics. (HCO PL 18 Feb 72)

KUCDEIOF, know, unknow, curious, desire, enforce, inhibit, none of it, false. (SH Spec 296, s308C20).

L , all lists have been in HCOBs as “L's.” (HCOB 19 Aug 63) [In this dictionary, the Scn and Dn lists will be found under LIST.] See also CORRECTION LIST.

LAMBDA, 1. Dianetic Axiom 11: A life organism is composed of matter and energy in space and time, animated by theta. Symbol: Living organism or organisms will hereafter be represented by the Greek letter Lambda. (Dn Today, p. 968) 2. a chemical heat engine existing in space and time motivated by the life static and directed by thought. (Dn Today, p. 969)

L&N LIST, a list of items given by a pc in response to a listing question and written down by the auditor in the exact sequence that they are given to him by the preclear. An L&N list is always done on a separate sheet. (BTB 7 Nov 72 III)

LANGUAGE, 1. the symbolization of effort. (Scn 0-8, p. 82) 2. the communications of agreements and disagreements. (PDC 27) 3. symbolized object or condition or state of being. (PDC 44)

LANGUAGE LOCKS, locks in which the main aberrative content is in terms of language. These may be considered symbolic restimulators of mest locks, which are more fundamental. (SOS Gloss)

LARGE READS, 1/3 of a dial or more at sensitivity 5. (HCOB 24 Jan 65)

LARGE THETA BOP, a quarter of a dial to a third of the dial. (Cert, Vol. 5, No. 9, 1958)

LAST GPM, closest to PT. (SH Spec 307, 6309C17)

LATENT READ, 1. a read which occurs later than completion of the major thought being expressed in words by the auditor. (HCOB 25 May 62) 2. if the needle doesn’t fall or react for a second or more after the question is asked, and then reacts, this is a latent read. (HCOB 6 Jul 61)

LATER ON THE TRACK, closer to PT. (HCOB 8 Apr 63)

LAUDABLE WITHHOLD, if it’s laudable to have done it, then it’s not laudable to withhold it. All right, if it’s laudable to withhold it then it must be coupled with, “You shouldn’t ought to have done it, it shouldn’t be done.” So one of the pair of the overt or the withhold is always laudable and always desirable. And the other one is undesirable. A laudable withhold is an undesirable action. (SH Spec 100, 6201C16)

LAUGHTER, 1. Laughter plays a definite role in therapy. It is quite amusing to see a preclear, who has been haunted by an engram which contained great emotional charge, suddenly relieve it, for the situation, no matter how gruesome it was, when relieved, is in all its aspects a subject of great mirth. Laughter is definitely the relief of painful emotion. (DMSMH, p. 121) 2. this laughter is the reversing of charge residual in the locks which depended for their fear content or antagonistic content upon the basic engrams. (DTOT, p. 99)

LAW OF AFFINITY, the law of affinity might be interpreted as the law of cohesion; “affinity” might be defined as “love” in both its meanings. Deprivation of or absence of affection could be considered as a violation of the law of affinity. Man must be in affinity with man to survive. (DMSMH, p. 106)

LAWS, the codified agreements of the people crystallizing their customs and representing their believed in necessities of conduct. (PAB 96)

LEARNING DRILL, THE, a drill used to improve the ability to study and increase the learning rate. (BTB 10 Dec 70R)

LEAVE OF ABSENCE, an authorized period of absence from a course granted in writing by a course supervisor and entered in the student’s study folder. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

LEFT-HAND BUTTON, a suppressor-type button. The nearly found-out is a left-hand button and does not necessarily read on the meter. Suppress, careful of, nearly found out, fail to reveal. They do not cause things to read, they prevent things from reading. All the other buttons cause things to read unnecessarily. Anxious about tends to be a left-hand button. Protest follows on a left-hand button so it tends to be the point where the left and right side tie together. (SH Spec 229, 6301C10)

LEG OF A PROCESS, in a process with more than one command, each command is called a “leg.” (HCOB 21 Jul 63)

L-11, New Life Rundown. (CG&AC 75) See also L9S.

L-11 EXPANDED, New Life Expansion Rundown. (CG&AC 75)

LETTING THE PC HAVE HIS WIN, a session that tries to go beyond a big dial wide drifting floating F/N only distracts the pc from his win. Big win. Any big win (F/N dial wide, cog, VGIs) gives you this kind of persistent F/N. You at least have to let it go until tomorrow and let the pc have his win. That is what is meant by letting the pc have his win. When you get one of these dial wide F/Ns, cog, VGIs, Wow! you may as well pack it up for the day. (HCOB 8 Oct 70)

LEVEL, 1. grade and level are the same thing but when one has a grade one is a pc and when one has a level one is studying its data. (HCOB 2 Apr 65) 2. a segment of technical information or performance for any application of Scn. (Aud 72 UK) 3. Level means “that body of Scn data for that point of progress of the individual.” (Aud 72 UK) 4. any doingness or not doingness on the pre-hav scale. Any word in the scale itself. (HCOB 7 Nov 62 III) Abbr. Lev.

LEVEL 0, see HRS.

LEVEL I, see HTS.

LEVEL II, see HCA.

LEVEL III, see HPA.

LEVEL IV, see HAA.

LEVEL V, see HVA.

LEVEL (5), STATE OF CASE, dub-in-some areas of track so heavily charged, pc is below consciousness in them. (HCOB 8 Jun 63) [For a complete list of the 8 levels of case of SOP 8-C, see STATE OF CASE SCALE.]

LEVEL VI, see HSS. [The SHSBC teaches to Level VI and results in a Class VI auditor. However Grade VI is a solo-audit grade and is not only done by a Class VI auditor but also by pcs who have attained Grade VA and have completed a special course which teaches them to solo audit.]

LEVEL VII, Level VII contains the materials necessary to totally erase the reactive mind. (SH Spec 71, 6607C26) [The Class VII Course is the course which teaches auditors to audit the power processes. Level VII or Clearing Course, as it is more often called, is done by pcs who have successfully solo audited to Grade VI Release, after which they may solo audit to Clear.]

LEVEL OF AWARENESS, by level of awareness is meant that of which a being is aware. There are about fifty-two levels of awareness from unexistence up to the state of Clear. A being who is at a level on this scale is aware only of that level and the others below it. (HCO PL 5 May 65)

LF, long fall. (HCOB 29 Apr 69)

LFBD, long fall blowdown. (HCOB 29 Apr 69)

LIE, 1. a second postulate, statement or condition designed to mask a primary postulate which is permitted to remain. (PXL, p. 180) 2. a statement that a particle having moved did not move, or a statement that a particle not having moved, did move. (PXL, p. 180) 3. an alteration of time, place, event and form. (PXL, p. 187) 4. invention with a bad connotation. (PAB 49)

LIE FACTORY, Slang. technically, a phrase contained in an engram demanding prevarication-it was originally called a fabricator. (DMSMH, p. 191)

LIE REACTION, questions originally used in Scientology only to study the needle pattern of the person being checked so that changes in it could then be judged in their true light. Some pcs for instance, get a slight fall every time any question is asked. Some get a fall only when there is heavy charge. Both can be security checked by studying the common pattern of the needle demonstrated in asking the lie reaction questions. (HCO PL 25 Mar 61)

LIFE, 1. (understanding), when we say “Life” we mean understanding, and when we say “understanding” we mean affinity, reality and communication. To understand all would be to live at the highest level of potential action and ability. Because life is understanding it attempts to understand. When it faces the incomprehensible it feels balked and baffled. (Dn 55 .!, p. 36) 2. a fundamental axiom of Dn is that life is formed by theta compounding with mest to make a living organism. Life is theta plus mest. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 3) 3. a static, which yet has the power of controlling, animating, mobilizing, organizing and destroying matter, energy and space, and possibly even time. (HFP, p. 24) 4. a thought or mind or beingness that conceives there are forms, masses, spaces, and difficulties. (HPCA-64, 5608C--) 5. that which is posing and solving problems. (UPC 11) 6. Life is a game consisting of freedom, barriers and purposes. (Scn 0-8, p. 119)

LIFE AND LIVINGNESS ENVIRONMENT, the workaday world of the pc. (HCOB 1 Oct 63)

LIFE CONTINUUM, 1. one individual attempting to carry on the life of another deceased individual or departed individual by means of generating in his own. body the infirmities and mannerisms of the deceased or departed individual. (9ACC-24, 5501C14) 2. it is the restimulation of an individual’s desire to go on living when he’s dying. (5112CM28B) 3. it is simply this: somebody fails, departs or dies and the individual then takes on the burden of this person’s habits, goals, fears, and idiosyncrasies. (5112CM28B)

LIFE REPAIR PROGRAM, handles Life areas. (HCOB 15 Jun 70) [Note the referenced HCOB outlines the steps for this type of program. ]

LIFE RUDS, as the person with out ruds makes no real gain it is wise to put ruds in “in Life.” This is done with, “In Life have you had an ARC break?” “In Life have you had a problem?” “In Life have you had a withhold?” (HCOB 16 Aug 69)

LIFE STATIC, 1. a Life static has no mass, no motion, no wave-length, no location in space or time. It has the ability to postulate and to perceive. (PXL, p. 146) 2. the thought, soul, vital part of you which animates this mest, the body. (HCP, p. 75)

LIGHT OBJECTIVE PROCESSES, light objective (look outward, take attention off body) processes. (Abil Mi 244)

LIGHT PROCESSING, 1. Light processing deals with postulates and effects and can be done either on an individual or co-auditing basis. (DAB, Vol. II, p. 173) 2. includes analytical recall of conscious moments. It is intended to raise tone and increase perception and memory. (SA, p. 61)

LIMITED PROCESS, any process which makes the preclear create is a limited process. Such processes as “Tell a lie” are creative processes. (HCOB 11 Feb 60)

LIMITED TECHNIQUE, a technique which can be used only for a short time beneficially, and after a certain period of time will begin to cause deterioration. (2ACC 20B, 5312CM10)

LINE CHARGE, a prolonged spell of uncontrolled laughter or crying which may be continued for several hours. Once started a Line charge can usually be reinforced by the occasional interjection of almost any word or phrase by the auditor. The Line charge usually signals the sudden release of a large amount of charge and brings about a marked change in the case. (COHA, p. 281)

LINE LISTING, when a goal is found, you then have a number of lines. Called lines. And item by item you ask the question of these lines. You ask the question of the lines of the pc and he gives you the answer. And that is written down. And that is called line listing. And when you have finished all the lines completely there is a free needle on all of the lines. (SH Spec 195, 6309C27)

LINE PLOT, this consists of a heavy blue 13-inch (foolscap or legal) sheet of paper, kept in the pc’s folder and kept up to date every time a reliable item (or even last item “in") is found. On this line plot one column, the left-hand one, is reserved for oppterms. The right-hand column is reserved for terms and Line~ indicate whenever terms or oppterms are derived from each other. A reliable item is designated as such on this line plot with the symbol R.I. Non-reliable items are not designated. The date each line plot item was found is added after the item so it can be found again in the auditor’s reports without a scramble. (HCOB 8 Nov 62).

LINES, BASIC FOUR, (1) Who or what would want . . . ? (2) Who or what would not want . . . ? (3) Who or what would oppose . . . ? (4) Who or what would not oppose . . . ? (HCOB 7 Nov 62)

LIST, see CORRECTION LIST and L & N LIST.

LISTEN STYLE AUDITING, at Level 0 the style is Listen Style auditing. Here the auditor is expected to Listen to the pc. The only skill necessary is listening to another. Listen Style should not be complicated by expecting more of the auditor than just this: Listen to the pc without evaluating, invalidating or interrupting. (HCOB 6 Nov 64)

LISTING, 1. the auditor’s action in writing down items said by the pc in response to a question by the auditor. (HCOB 5 Dec 62) 2. this is something Listed by the pc. The pc says it. It is from a question. The auditor asks the question, the pc then gives him items which the auditor then writes down from the pc. (Class VIII No. 11) 3. a special procedure used in some processes where the auditor writes down items said by the preclear in response to a question by the auditor in the exact sequence that they are given to him by the preclear. (Scn AD) 4. in Listing, today the correct L&N item must BD and F/N. (HCOB 20 Apr 72 II)

LISTING AND NULLING, 1. this is something Listed by the pc, the pc says it. It is from a question. The auditor asks the question, the pc then gives him items which the auditor then writes down from the pc. (Class VIII No. 11) 2. you ask a question of the pc, the pc gives you item, item, item, item. The auditor writes them down and then he nulls the List. And there must only be one item which has any read in it of any kind whatsoever on that List. (Class VIII No. 11) Also see LISTING, see NULLING.

LISTING METER, a real cheap meter that was beautifully designed, but basically one that would do a power of good as far as Listing is concerned, so that you wouldn’t miss reads. (SH Spec 256, 6304C02)

LIST ONE, 1. a List of Scn items. This includes Scn, Scn organizations, an auditor, clearing, auditing, Scientologists, a session, an E-meter, a practitioner, the auditor’s name, Ron, other Scn persons, parts of Scn, past auditors, etc. This List is composed by the auditor, not the pc. (HCOB 23 Nov 62) 2. this is the list one of Routine 2-12. The Scn list is called List One. (HCOB 24 Nov 62)

LCR=Confessional Repair List. (FBDL 245) (b) 

L1=List One. (HCOB 23 Aug 65) (c) 

L1C=List 1C, used by auditors in session when an upset occurs, or as ordered by the C/S. Handles ARC broken, sad, hopeless or nattery pcs. (HCOB 19 Mar 71) [Earlier numbered L1, L1-A and L1-B.] (d)

L1R=Integrity Processing Repair List. The rule of Integrity processing is that it should always end on an F/N. When it does not F/N however (which includes F/Ning at the pc examiner) or pc is upset, gets sick, or not doing well after Integrity processing, this list must be used to repair the pc. (HCOB 8 Jan 72R) (e) 

L1X Hi-Lo TA List=this assessment has been developed to detect all the reasons for high and low TA. It is used when a C/S Series 53 has been done and the high or low TA persists. (HCOB 1 Jan 72RA) (f)

L3B=[the Dn repair list prior to the L3RD, which revised it.] (g) L3EXD=this list includes the most frequent Dn errors and is amended for Expanded Dn only. (BTB 2 Apr 72RB II) (h) 

L3RD=this list includes the most frequent Dn errors. A high or low TA and a bogged case can result from failures to erase a chain of incidents. Take any read found to F/N by full repair of it per the instructions. (HCOB 11 Apr 71RA) (i) L4BR=used for assessment of all listing errors, when trouble occurs on a listing process, when TA goes high or pc gets sick or upset after a session which included listing action. (BTB 11 Aug 72RA) [Earlier numbered L4 and L4-A.] See CORRECTION LIST.

LIVE QUESTION, 1. unflat question. (HCOB 13 Dec 72R) 2. question unflat, needle reaction on a question. (HCOB 19 Oct 61)

LIVINGNESS, is going along a certain course impelled by a purpose and with some place to arrive. It consists mostly of removing the barriers in the channel, holding the edges firm, ignoring the distractions and reinforcing and re-impelling one’s progress along the channel. That’s Life. (SH Spec 57, 6504C06) L9S, a process called L9-Short (originally called L10s but renamed for proper issue) The New Life Rundown. The New Life Rundown has exact steps. Well done it gives a new life in truth. (HCOB 17 Jun 71) [Now called L-11 per CG&AC 75 .]

LOC, locational. (BTB 20 Aug 71R II)

LOCATIONAL, 1. a process called locational. Command: “Have you got an auditing room?” Locational is only one of many spotting processes. (SCP, pp. 27-28) 2. “Locate the .” The auditor has the preclear locate the floor, the ceiling, the walls, the furniture in the room and other objects and bodies. (HCOTB 6 Feb 57) 3. “Look at that object”. (HCOB 2 Nov 57RA)

LOCATIONAL PROCESSING, the object of locational processing is to establish an adequacy of communication terminals in the environment of the preclear. It can be run in busy thoroughfares, graveyards, confused traffic or anywhere there is or is not motion of objects and people. Commands: “Notice that (person).” (Op Bull No. 1) Abbr. Loc.

LOCATIONAL SPOTTING, one directs the pc’s attention with “You notice that (object)” all about the room and at first only occasionally includes the pc’s body and the auditor’s body in the spotting. Then the auditor, using the same process, concentrates less and less upon the room and more and more upon the auditor and the pc. It will be found that the pc will eventually find the auditor with his attention so directed. (SCP, p. 20)

LOCK, 1. 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. Locks contain mainly perceptics; no physical pain and very little misemotion. (SOS, p. 112) 2. a situation of mental anguish. It depends for its force on the engram to which it is appended. The lock is more or less known to the analyzer. It’s a moment of severe restimulation of an engram. (EOS, p. 84) 3. those parts of the time track which contain moments the pc associates with key-ins. (HCOB 15 May 63) 4. conscious level experiences which sort of stick and the individual doesn’t quite know why. (SH Spec 72, 6607C28).  

LOCK END WORDS, words that are not in the GPMs but which, occurring later, are close in meaning to significances that are part of the GPMs and so lock into a GPM and restimulate it. They keep large parts of the reactive mind in restimulation. (LRH Def. Notes)

LOCKS, mental image pictures of non-painful but disturbing experiences the person has experienced. They depend for their force on secondaries and engrams. (HCOB 12 Jul 65)

LOCK SCANNING, one contacts an early lock on the track and goes rapidly or slowly through all such similar incidents straight to present time. One does this many times and the whole chain of locks become ineffective in influencing one. (HFP, pp. 99-100)

LOCK WORDS, words not in the GPMs but close in meaning. (HCOB 17 Oct 64 III) 

LOE, London Open Evening Lectures. (HCOB 29 Sept 66)

LOGIC, 1. a gradient scale of association of facts of greater or lesser similarity made to resolve some problem of the past, present or future, but mainly to resolve and predict the future. Logic is the combination of factors into an answer. (Scn 8- 8008, p. 46) 2. the gradient scale and comparisons of data which work out a smooth network of terminals and communication lines which deliver data in a prediction of future form or theta beingness. (Spr Lect 6, 5303CM25) 3. primitive logic was one-valued. Everything was assumed to be the product of a divine will, and there was no obligation to decide the rightness or wrongness of anything. Most logic added up merely to the propitiation of the gods. Aristotle formulated two-valued logic. A thing was either right or wrong. This type of logic is used by the reactive mind. In the present day, engineers are using a sort of three-valued logic which contains the values of right, wrong, and maybe. From three-valued logic we jump to an infinity valued logic-a spectrum which moves from infinite wrongness to infinite rightness. (NOTL, p. 17) 4. rationalism, for all logic is based upon the somewhat idiotic circumstance that a being that is immortal is trying to survive. (Scn 8-8008, p. 47) 5. the subject of reasoning. (HCO PL 11 May 70)

LONG FALL, an E-meter read of two to three inches. (HCOB 29 Apr 69) Abbr. LF.

LONG FALL BLOWDOWN, a long fall followed by a blowdown or TA motion downward. (HCOB 29 Apr 69) Abbr. LFBD.

LOOP, a redoubling of the time track, back on itself. In this case incidents are not in their correct place on the time track. (DTOT, p. 142)

LOSE, intending to do something and not doing it, and intending not to do something and doing it. (SH Spec 278, 6306C25)

LOSS, something has withdrawn from a thetan without his consent. This would be the definition of loss . (COHA, p. 210)

LOSS OF HAVINGNESS, see DEPLETION OF HAVINGNESS.

LOSS OF VIEWPOINT, where he has had an ally who is dead, he has once had a viewpoint which was alive and now can no longer use that viewpoint. This is the basic loss and the basic occlusion. It is the loss of a viewpoint. (PAB 2)

LOVE, 1. Love, as a word, has too many meanings, and so we use an old, old word, affinity, as meaning the love or brotherhood from one dynamic to another. (HFP, p. 41) 2. the human manifestation of admiration. (PAB 8) 3. an intensity of happiness addressed in a certain direction. (SA, p. 93)

LOWER HARMONIC, it is a lower similarity which is nutty which is actually based on something like it higher on the scale which isn’t. It means a co-action or similar. (SH Spec 83, 6612C06)

LOWER ON THE SCALE, means lower toned or means in worse shape. (5707C17)

LOW TA, 1. below 2.0 on the tone arm. (HCOB 11 May 69 II) 2. the low TA is a symptom of an overwhelmed being. When a pc’s TA goes low he is being overwhelmed by too heavy a process, too steep a gradient in applying processes or by rough TRs or invalidative auditing or auditing errors. A low TA means that the thetan has gone past a desire to stop things and is likely to behave in life as though unable to resist real or imaginary forces. (HCOB 16 Jun 70).

LOW-TONE CASE, can be at clear read, unreactive on a sticky sort of needle. He cannot however do things in life. He or she cannot answer questions intelligently about help or control. (EME, p. 9)

LRH, L. Ron Hubbard, Founder and Source of Dianetics and Scientology and Commodore of the Sea Organization. (HCO PL 13 Jul 73)

LT, lifetime. (BTB 20 Aug 71R II)

L-10, there are now three L-10s: L-10S for “short,” L-10M for “medium,” for those not yet OT, and L-10-OT for those on OT grades III or above. (LRH OODs Command Item, 17 May 71)

L-10M, the Flag OT Executive Rundown, delivers OT capability to executives being trained on Flag. The technical name of it is “L-10M.” (HCOB 8 Jun 71 II) [Now called L-12 per CG&AC 75 .]

L-10-OT, an upper level rundown whose basic tech comes from research into increasing OT powers. (CG&AC 75)

L-12, the Flag OT Executive Rundown. (CG&AC 75) See also L-10M .

LUCK, 1. by luck we mean “destiny not personally guided.” Luck is only necessary amid a strong current of confusing factors. (POW, p. 21) 2. the hope that some uncontrolled chance will get one through. Counting on luck is an abandonment of control. That’s apathy. (POW, p. 25)

LUMBOSIS, 1. a very famous Scn disease. (lMACC-27, 5911C26) 2. a weird disease that is only known in Scn. (SH Spec 66, 6509C09)

LX LISTS, there are now three “LX” lists : LX3=attitudes, LX2=emotions, LX1=conditions. Originally they were called “X” because they were experimental. These serve to isolate reasons a being is charged up to such an extent that he is out of valence. When a person is out of valence he does not easily as-is his bank. (HCOB 2 Aug 69, LX Lists)

LYING, 1. Lying is an alteration of time, place, event or form. Lying becomes alter-isness, becomes stupidity. (COHA, p. 20) 2. the lowest form of creativity. (FOT, p. 25).
