M.


M, stands for males on the E-meter. (SH Spec 195A, 6209C27)

MAA, master at arms. This is a naval term used in the Sea Org and is equivalent (but senior) to the ethics officer in a Scientology Church. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

MACHINE, 1. an actual machine in the mind, (like ordinary machinery) constructed out of mental mass and energy, that has been made by the individual to do work for him, usually having been set up so as to come into operation automatically under certain predetermined circumstances. (Scn AD) 2. a very special kind of circuit, and they have wheels and cogwheels and belts and barrels and steam boilers and electronic electrodes and dials and switches and meters, almost anything you can think of as a machine, you will find in some thetan’s bank as a machine, doing something that any machine does. (5 LACC-10, 5811C07) 3. the individual got disinterested in what he was doing but he felt he had to go on doing it so he set it up automatically. (5410ClOD)

MAGNETIC FIELD, strong electrical currents produce in the vicinity of their flow what are called magnetic fields. If you wrap an electrical wire around a bar of iron and run current through the wire, you have a magnet. When you put a new piece of iron near this magnet the field of the magnet snaps the piece of iron up against the magnet. (HOM, p. 53)

MAJOR ACTION, any-but any-action designed to change a case or general considerations or handle continual illness or improve ability. This means a process or even a series of processes like three flows. It doesn’t mean a grade. It is any process the case hasn’t had. (HCOB 24 May 70R)

MAJOR THOUGHT, by major thought is meant the complete thought being expressed in words by the auditor. (HCOB 25 May 62)

MAN, 1. man is actually a body run by an awareness of awareness unit which has infinite survival power-even though it can get into a great deal of trouble. (Abil Mi 5) 2. a structure of cells which are seeking to survive, and only to survive. (DMSMH, p. 50) 3. a composite being of four distinct and divisible actualities: these parts are termed the thetan, the memory banks, the genetic entity and the body. (Scn 8-8008, p. 7) 4. man is basically a machine only as far as his body goes. Man is otherwise a spiritual entity which has no finite survival. It has, this entity, an infinite survival. (Abil Mi 5) See HOMO SAPIENS.

MANIC, 1. a highly complimentary pro-survival engram. (DMSMH, p. 233) 2. an engram which is highly complimentary and any compliment which it contains in it will be obeyed to its most literal fullest extent. (5009CM28) 3. the extremes of too quiet and never quiet have a number of psychiatric names such as “catatonia” (withdrawn totally) and “manic” (too hectic). (HCOB 24 Nov 65)

MANIC DEPRESSIVE, symptomatic of a person being next to an undetected suppressive. (SH Spec 67, 6509C21).

MARCAB CONFEDERACY, various planets united into a very vast civilization which has come forward up through the last 200,000 years, is formed out of the fragments of earlier civilizations. In the last 10,000 years they have gone on with a sort of a decadent kicked-in-the-head civilization that contains automobiles, business suits, fedora hats, telephones, spaceships. A civilization which looks almost exact duplicate but is worse off than the current U.S. civilization. (SH Spec 291, 6308C06)

MASS (IN THE GPM), 1. when we say mass we mean mass. It’s electronic standing waves actually, and they usually appear black to the pc and these become visible. (SH Spec 96, 6112C21) 2. no more and no less than a confusion of mismanaged communication. (Dn 55!, p. 65)

MASSES, masses are masses and they are not by the way particles unless you consider particles as a subdivisible singular. Masses are something that are shed from a thetan by mock-up and particles are something that are shed from masses. That’s usually the way we find things. (17 ACC-5, 5703PM01)

MASTER PROCESS, one which ran out all other processes and processing. (HCOB 14 May 62)

MASTER PROGRAM, the master program for every case is given on the Classification and Gradation Chart issued from time to time. (HCOB 12 Jun 70)

MATCHED TERMINALS, the way one does matched terminals is to have the preclear facing the preclear or his father facing his father; in other words, two of each of anything, one facing the other. These two things will discharge one into the other. Thus running off the difficulty. (Scn 8-8008, p. 127) See also DOUBLE TERMINALING.

MATCHING TERMINALS, putting up a person facing a person, the same person facing the same person. (5304M07) See also DOUBLE TERMINALING.

MATERIALS OF SCIENTOLOGY, the materials of Scn are not its tools. Its tools are processes-its materials are books, tapes, Professional Auditor’s Bulletins, journals, letters and experience. (PAB 36)

MATERIAL UNIVERSE, the universe of matter, energy, space and time. (Scn Jour 16-G)

MATTER, 1. a group of particles of energy located in a relatively stable relationship to each other. (9ACC-24, 5501C14) 2. thought, effort and emotion all in one place at the same time. (PDC 62) 3. a particle with no space to go anyplace. (PDC 16) 4. it is evidently a very solid thought which is chaotic enough in its arrangement of attention units that you can’t do too much about it. (5206CM23B)

MAYBE, 1. simply a counter-balance insistence on must and must not. It is and it is not. And these things equally insistent add up into the indecisions of maybe. (SH Spec 28, 6107C12) 2. a maybe is a double flow or a controversion to such a degree that an individual is hung up on it. ( Spr Lect 17, 5304CM08) 3. a confusion of beingness, a confusion of doingness, and a confusion of havingness, and it’s too badly balanced to resolve itself. (PDC 44) 4. neither no nor yes. (PDC 15)

MEAN GRAPH, not an average graph. It’s just a graph that a person isn’t in too bad shape, just sort of loused up, but they kind of know it. (SH Spec 22, 6106C28)

MECHANICAL ABERRATION, there is a type of aberration source which is simply the amount of charge there is on the case. This might be called mechanical aberration. It does not stern from specific commands but stems from mental inefficiency by reason of cumulative entheta. Entheta by itself can charge up a case to the point where the case will behave in certain definite ways regardless of the command content of the engrams. (SOS, Bk. 2, pp. 102-103)

MECHANICAL DEFINITION, called “mechanical” as it is defined in terms of distance and position. Mechanical in this sense means interpreting or explaining the phenomena of the universe by referring to causally determined physical forces; mechanistic. A being can put out objects to view (or anchor points) and also put out points which will view them, even while the being himself is elsewhere. Thus one can achieve space. “Mechanical” also applies to “acting or performing like a machine-automatic.” Thus a “mechanical definition” would be one which defined in terms of space or location such as “the car over by the old oak tree” or “the man who lives in the big house.” Here “the old oak tree” and “the big house” are fixed objects and the unfixed objects (“car,” “man”) are a sort of viewpoint. One has identified things by location. (LRH Def. Notes)

MECHANICS, 1. when we say mechanics we mean space, energy, objects and time. And when something has those things in it we’re talking about something mechanical. (PXL, p. 166) 2. by mechanics we mean any and all of the objects, motions, or spaces which exist. Mechanics are always quantitative. There is always just so much distance or so much mass or so many hours. We have a word for mechanics compounded from matter, energy, space, and time which is MEST. By MEST we mean any or all arrangements of energy of whatever kind, whether in fluid or object form, in space or spaces. (Dn 55!, p. 8)

MEDIUM CLEAN NEEDLE, offers many prior and latent reads, but reads instantly when a question is asked. (HCOB 14 Jun 62)

MEDIUM DIRTY NEEDLE, agitated throughout check but with periods of no agitation when a read can be obtained easily. Reacts to checker’s voice (rudiments checker). (HCOB 14 Jun 62)

MEGALOMANIA, a person who has delusions of grandeur, wealth, power, etc. (HCOB 11 May 65)

MEMORY, 1. a recording of the physical universe. Any memory contains a time index (when it happened) and a pattern of motion. As a lake reflects the trees and moving clouds, so does a memory reflect the physical universe. Sight, sound, pain, emotion, effort, conclusions, and many other things are recorded in this static for any given instant of observation. Such a memory we call a facsimile. (Scn 8-80, p. 13) 2. memory in Dn is considered to be any concept of perceptions stored in the standard memory banks which is potentially recallable by the “I.” (DMSMH, p. 61) 3. memory usually means recalling data of recent times. (NFP, p. 26) 4. memory would have the connotation of you simply know it had happened. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13)

MEMORY BANKS, STANDARD, the analytical mind has its standard memory banks. Just where these are located structurally is no concern of ours at this time. To operate, the analytical mind has to have percepts (data), memory (data), and imagination (data), whether or not the data contained in the standard memory banks is evaluated correctly or not, it is all there. (DMSMH, p. 45)

MENTAL IMAGE PICTURES, 1. copies of the physical universe as it goes by. (6101C22) 2. in Scn we call a mental image picture a facsimile when it is a “photograph” of the physical universe sometime in the past. We call a mental image picture a mock-up when it is created by the thetan or for the thetan and does not consist of a photograph of the physical universe. 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, pp. 56-57)

MERCHANTS OF CHAOS, there are in our civilization some very disturbing elements. These disturbing elements are the Merchants of Chaos. They deal in confusion and upset. Their daily bread is made by creating chaos. If chaos were to lessen, so would their incomes. It is to their interest to make the environment seem as threatening as possible, for only then can they profit. Their incomes, force, and power rise in direct ratio to the amount of threat they can inject into the surroundings of the people. (NSOL, pp. 17-18) 2. Merchant of Fear or Chaos Merchant and which we can now technically call the suppressive person. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65)

MERCHANTS OF FEAR, 1. probably the truly aberrative personalities in our society do not number more than five or ten per cent. They have very special traits. Where you find in the preclear’s bank a person with one or more of these characteristics, you will have the person who most thoroughly tried the preclear’s sanity. Such people would be better understood if I called them the “Merchants of Fear.” (PAB 13) 2. We can now technically call the suppressive person. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65, Handling the Suppressive Person)

MESMERISM, mesmerism is no relation to hypnotism at all. Mesmerism is animal magnetism. It’s a physiological rapport, not a concentration on mental but on mental-physiological. (BTB 7 Apr 72R)

MEST, 1. a coined word, meaning matter, energy, space and time, the physical universe. All physical phenomena may be considered as energy operating in space and time. The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta. (Abil 114-A) 2. the symbol for the physical universe in use hereafter is mest, from the first letters of the words matter, energy, space and time, or the Greek letter phi (ø). (HFP, p. 166) 3. simply a composite of energies and particles and spaces which are agreed upon and which are looked at. (PXL, p. 193) 4. a solid object, and the space and energy and so forth which comprise such solid objects. (PDC 12) 5. any or all arrangements of energy, of whatever kind, whether in fluid or object form, in space or spaces. (Dn 55!, p. 9)

MEST BODY, 1. the physical body. The organism in all the mest aspects. (SOS Gloss) 2. the mest body should not be thought of as a harbor or vessel for the theta being. A better example would be a sliver inserted unwantedly in the thumb where the thumb would be the theta being, the mest body the sliver. Mest bodies are good identification tags, they generate exciting emotions, they are fun to operate at times, but they are no end of existence. (HOM, p. 16)

MEST CLEAR, 1. by mest clear is meant a Book One clear. Here we defined clear in terms of facsimiles. This is a rather simple mechanical definition. It said in effect that so far as human beings were concerned our preclear finally arrived at a point where he had full color-visio-sonic, had no psychoses or neuroses and could recall what had happened to him in this lifetime. (SCP, p. 3) 2. someone who knows he has reached the bottom rung of the ladder on his way up. He also knows the rest of humanity uncleared is below this state but that they don’t know that they are. A mest clear still thinks of himself more or less as a body and is more or less subject to one. All engrams are effectually keyed out without being examined. For practical purposes they are erased. He has excellent recalls. They may or may not be eidetic. (Abil 87) 3. if a fellow can exist without synthetic beingnesses, which are solutions to problems he can’t confront, you’ve got a mest clear. He is still in a body. He’s got body beingness yet, but he’s gotten rid of these synthetic valences. (SH Spec 36, 6108C09)

MEST LOCKS, locks which come about through the inhibition or enforcement of the individual’s experience or control of matter or energy or space or time. It is postulated that the reduction of the mest locks in which the individual was made to go up or not permitted to come down will make any bouncer phrases in the case inactive, and so on with all types of action phrases. (SOS Gloss)

MEST PERCEPTICS, common garden-variety sense data- perceptions, new and recorded, of matter, energy, space, and time, and combinations of these. (SOS Gloss)

MEST PERCEPTION, recordings the thetan takes from the organs of perception of the human body as a short cut to perception (lazy perception). The body records actual wave emanations from the mest universe, the thetan uses these recordings. (Scn 8-8008 Gloss)

MEST REALITY, the reality which can be sensed, measured, and experienced in the physical universe. (SOS, p. 97)

MEST STRAIGHTWIRE, self-analysis. (5209CM04A).

MEST TECHNIQUE, straightwire, repetitive straightwire (slow, auditor-managed lock scanning), and lock scanning on mest locks. Language locks are found by straightwire only as a clue to the underlying mest locks. Mest technique and validation technique may be combined and should be. (SOS Gloss)

MEST UNIVERSE, 1. that agreed-upon reality of matter, energy, space and time which we use as anchor points and through which we communicate. (Scn 8-8008, p. 27) 2. a mutual system of barriers on which we have agreed so we can have a game. (5311CM17A) 3. is a two-terminal universe. (Scn 8-8008, p. 31)

METALOSIS, Osis, Greek, action: process, condition abnormal or diseased condition caused by. Metal, any of a large group of substances (as bronze, steel) that typically show a characteristic luster, are good conductors of electricity and heat, are opaque, can be fused or are usually malleable or ductile. A psychosomatic condition caused by the interaction of body electric flows and the magnetic and other fields of metal. The effect takes a long time to occur. Engrams are formed. (LRH Def. Notes)

METALOSIS RUNDOWN, the procedure used in Expanded Dianetics to cure metalosis. (LRH Def. Notes)

METAPHYSICS, 1. it means after physics because the original classes in it were given in the period which immediately followed the physics period. That is where that gets its name, because it was the unexplained, inexplicable and upsetting things that no one knew the answer of. (Unidentified LRH tape) 2. the study of the ultimate reality of all things. (B&C, p. 16)

METER, see E-METER.

METER CHECK, 1. the action of checking the reaction of a student to subject matter, words or other things, isolating blocks to study, interpersonal relations or life. It is done with an E-meter. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) 2. the procedure whereby an ethics officer or trained auditor establishes the state of a person in regard to ethical or technical matters by using the technology of the E-meter. (ISE, p. 40)

METER DEPENDENCE, meter dependence is created by invalidation by or poor acknowledgment of the auditor. If the auditor seems not to accept the pc’s data, then the pc may insist that the auditor “see it read on the meter.” This can grow up into a formidable meter dependence on the part of the pc. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Tone Arm Action)

MID-CONFESSIONAL SHORT ASSESSMENT, see MID-INTEGRITY PROCESSING SHORT ASSESSMENT.

MID-INTEGRITY PROCESSING SHORT ASSESSMENT, for use during an integrity processing session if a question won’t F/N but before starting that question, the TA range was 2-3, or there was an F/N. (BTB 7 Dec 72R)

MIDDLE RUDIMENTS, 1. middle rudiments are rudiments used one after another; inquiries about various rudiments during a session. Of course you are then to keep the session progressing and keep the rudiments in. (SH Spec 45, 6108C24) 2. the middle rudiment consists of a package question which handles suppressions, invalidations, missed withholds and "careful of." This is your standard, basic middle rudiment. (SH Spec 155, 6205C31) 3. middle rudiments may also contain (this is less often, but may also contain) the half-truths, untruths, impress and damage end rudiment; the question or command end rudiment; and the influence of the E-meter rudiment. (SH Spec 155, 6205C31) 4. mid ruds are called mid ruds because middle of session was the earliest use, plus rudiments of a session. (HCOB 14 Aug 64)

MID RUDS, middle rudiments. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

MIMICRY, 1. a non-verbal technique wherein the auditor mimics the preclear and persuades the preclear to mimic the auditor. Various processes are used, such as passing a ball back and forth between them, nodding, shaking hands, sitting down, standing up, walking across the room and back and sitting down, all of which are effective. (Dn 55!, p. 110) 2. he does something, you do something [the same thing], and therefore he becomes aware that he's doing it because he sees you doing it. (SH Spec 59, 6504C27)

MIND, 1. pictures which have been made of experiences and plotted against time and preserved in energy and mass in the vicinity of the being and which when restimulated are re-created without his analytical awareness. (SH Spec 72, 6607C28) 2. a literal record of experience plotted against time from the earliest moment of aberration until now plus additional ideas the fellow got about it, plus other things he may have mocked up or created on top of it in mental mass, plus some machines, plus some valences. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56) 4. the purpose of the mind is to pose and resolve problems relating to survival and to direct the effort of the organism according to these solutions. (Scn 0-8, p. 76) 5. a natively self-determined computer which poses, observes and resolves problems to accomplish survival. It does its thinking with facsimiles of experience or facsimiles of synthetic experience. It is natively cause. It seeks to be minimally an effect. (HFP, p. 33) 6. the human mind is an observer, postulator, creator and storage place of knowledge. (HFP, p. 163) 7. the mind is a self-protecting mechanism and will not permit itself to be seriously overloaded so long as it can retain partial awareness of itself. (DMSMH, p. 165) 8 . the mind is composed of energy which exists in space and which condenses down into masses. (SH Spec 133, 6204C17)

MINOR THOUGHT, by minor thoughts is meant subsidiary thoughts expressed by words within the major thought. They are caused by the reactivity of individual words within the full words. Example: "Have you ever injured dirty pigs?" To the pc the words "you," "injured," and "dirty" are all reactive. Therefore, the minor thoughts expressed by these words also read on the meter. (HCOB 25 May 62)

MINUS-FREEDOM, freedom is not the plus of a condition where slavery is the minus unless we are dealing entirely with the political organism. Where we are dealing with the individual better terminology is necessary and more understanding of the anatomy of minus-freedom is required. Minus-freedom is entrapment. Freedom is the absence of barriers. Less freedom is the presence of barriers. Entirely minus-freedom would be the omnipresence of barriers. (Dn 55!, p. 55)

MINUS RANDOMITY, 1. from the viewpoint of the individual, that thing which has too little motion in it for his tolerance is minus randomity. (Abil 36) 2. a good statement of minus randomity would be: things are too slow. Things are certainly slow around here, life is dull, there is nothing happening. (Abil 36)

MINUS SCALE, the minus awareness levels of the Classification Gradation and Awareness Chart. (HCOB 20 Sept 66)

MINUS SCALE RELEASE, there are several Grades of Release below Zero, in the Minus Scale of the original complete Gradation Chart. Many of the Minus Scale can be attained by simple assessment. (And ceasing to assess the moment the release occurs is vital-don't keep on assessing as the same session auditing action . ) There are three specific Grades of Release below Zero and above the lower Minus Scale. These are, from lowest: Straightwire Release, Dianetic Secondary Release, Dianetic Engram Release. (HCOB 20 Sept 66)

MINUS TONE SCALE, the sub-tones below the Emotional Tone Scale which are so low as to constitute by the individual a no-affinity, no-emotion, no-problem, no-consequence state of mind on things which are actually tremendously important. (Scn AD)

MIS-ACKNOWLEDGMENT, there are many ways to misacknowledge a pc. But any mis-acknowledgment is only and always a failure to end the cycle of a command. If the pc is not sure he has answered and that the auditor has accepted the answer, the pc will get no benefit from the auditing. (PAB 145)

MISASSESSMENT, multiple item or narrative item or both or taking an item that doesn’t read or in which pc has no interest. (HCOB 9 Aug 69)

MISASSIST, an incident wherein the preclear has tried to help on some dynamic and failed. (HOM, p. 75)

MISDIRECTOR, 1. a phrase which, when the auditor sends the preclear in one direction, makes the preclear go in another direction. (SOS, p. 106) 2. a command which sends the preclear in the wrong direction, makes him go earlier when he should be going later, go later when he should go earlier, etc. “You can’t go back at this point,” “You’re turned around,” etc. (DMSMH, p. 213)

MISEMOTION, 1. anything that is unpleasant emotion such as antagonism, anger, fear, grief, apathy or a death feeling. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 2. emotion and misemotion include all levels of the complete tone scale except “pain”; emotion and misemotion are closely allied to “motion,” being only a finer particle action. (HCOB 19 Jan 67)

MISEMOTIONAL, 1. such a word would indicate that a person did not display the emotion called for by the actual circumstances of the situation. (SOS, p. 49) 2. being misemotional is synonymous with being irrational. (SOS, p. 49)

MIS-MEMORY, forgettingness. (Abil SW, p. 11).

MISPROGRAMMED, the current program has neglected or misplaced an urgently needed action. (BTB 23 Oct 71 V)

MISSED OVERT, a done, that people didn’t find out about. (SH Spec 181, 6208C07)

MISSED WITHHOLD, 1. an undisclosed contra-survival act which has been restimulated by another but not disclosed. (HCOB 3 May 62) 2. a missed withhold is a should have known. The pc feels you should have found out about something and you didn’t. (SH Spec 136, 6204C24) 3. the missed withhold is something people nearly found out. It’s another person’s action. It’s nothing the pc did or is doing. It is another person’s action and the pc’s wonder about it. (SH Spec 206, 6211C01) Abbr. M/W/H .

MISSED WITHHOLD OF NOTHING, 1. there is nothing there, yet the auditor tries to get it and the pc ARC breaks. This gives the pc a missed withhold of nothing. (HCO PL 16 Apr 65) 2. “cleaning” a rudiment that has already registered null gives the pc a missed withhold of nothingness. His nothingness was not accepted. The pc has no answer. A missed no-answer then occurs. To ask again something already null is to leave the pc baffled-he has a missed withhold which is a nothingness. (HCOB 4 Jul 62)

MISSED WITHHOLD PROGRAM, where the auditor searched for and found when and where withholds had been available but had been MISSED. (HCOB 8 Feb 62)

MISSION, a group granted the privilege of delivering elementary Scn and Dn services. Does not have Church status or rights. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

MO, medical officer. (Abil 272)

MOCKERY BAND, there is a little band down very close to death on the tone scale which is a mockery band and in that band anything that’s in that band is a mockery of anything higher. (5405CM12)

MOCK-UP, v. 1. to get an imaginary picture of. (COHA, p. 100) -n. 1. “mock-up” is derived from the World War II phrase which indicated a symbolized weapon or area of attack. Here, it means in essence, something which a person makes up himself. (Scn Jour, Iss 14-G) 2. a mock-up is more than a mental picture; it is a self-created object which exists as itself or symbolizes some object in the mest universe. It is a thing which one can be. (Scn Jour, Iss 14-G) 3. a full perceptic energy picture in three dimensions created by the thetan and having location in space and time. Now, that’s the ideal definition. A mock-up is something the thetan puts up and says is there. That’s what a mock-up is. (9ACC-24, 5501C14) 4. we call a mental image picture a mock-up when it is created by the thetan or for the thetan and does not consist of a photograph of the physical universe. (FOT, pp. 56-57) 5. any knowingly created mental picture that is not part of a time track. (HCOB 15 May 63)

MODEL SESSION, 1. the same exact pattern and script (patter) with which an auditing session is begun and ended; the overall form of all Scn auditing sessions which is the same anywhere in the world. (Scn AD) 2. its wording is very fixed. All refinements of model session are in the direction of causing less ARC breaks and getting more auditing done. (SH Spec 289, 6307C24) 3. the patter wording of a model session is what is said and fixed. By always using the same words to open, continue and close a session, to begin and end processes, a duplication of sessions is achieved which as they continue, runs them out. The patter wording of a model session should be learned by heart and not changed. (HCOB 26 Aug 60).

MODIFIER, a modifier is that consideration which opposes the attainment of a goal and tends to suspend it in time. Example: goal, “to be a willow wand;” modifier, “so as never to be reached.” (HCOB 7 Nov 61)

MOISTURE PERCEPTION, moisture perception permits us to sense the dampness or dryness of the atmosphere and so judge further our environment. (SOS, p. 59)

M1 CS 1,1. method 1 word clearing CS 1. [as in case supervisor direction.] (HCOB 14 Sept 71 II Revised 24 Sept 71) [Note this HCOB has been cancelled by HCOB 14 June 73 Word Clearing C/S No. 1R Cancelled.] 2. standard C/S for word clearing in session Method 1. (HCOB 30 Jun 71 II)

M 1 WC, Method One word clearing. (HCO PL 8 Jan 72 I) See WORD CLEARING.

MONEY ASSIST, this action is simply a tool and use of our tech to get the result of the person able to handle the subject of money and take the major services of the Church. (BTB 1 Jul 73, Money Assist)

MONITOR, could be called the center of awareness of the person. It, inexactly speaking, is the person. It has been approximated by various names for thousands of years, each one reducing down to “I.” The monitor is in control of the analytical mind. (DMSMH, p. 43)

MOOD DRILLS, developed to handle stuck or fixated auditor moods or where some auditor’s mood entered into the session would rough up or upset a pc or slow his progress. Mood drills consist of TRs 1 to 4 done out of session on each tone level of the full tone scale, hitting each mood up and down the scale. The coach calls the mood, the auditor does TRs 1 to 4 in that mood. It doesn’t really require much coaching. “You just start low on the scale and TR that mood then the next, then the next. Like, all TRs done “hopeless,” etc. Lots of laughs doing it really. Doing TRs as a dead auditor is pretty tricky.” Once begun mood drills should be continued until the whole scale is flat so the auditor doesn’t get stuck on the tone scale but can do any mood easily and without strain. (BTB 13 Mar 75)

MORAL CODE, 1. that series of agreements to which a person has subscribed to guarantee the survival of a group. (SH Spec 62, 6110C04) 2. a series of solutions to problems which have not been confronted or analyzed. (SH Spec 27X, 6107C04)

MORALS, n. pl. 1. the principles of right and wrong conduct. (HCO PL 3 May 72) 2. morals should be defined as a code of good conduct laid down out of the experience of the race to serve as a uniform yardstick for the conduct of individuals and groups. Such a codification has its place; morals are actually laws. Morals are, to some degree, arbitraries, in that they continue beyond their time. All morals originate out of the discovery by the group that some act contains more pain than pleasure. (SOS, p. 129) 3. are things which were introduced into the society to resolve harmful practices which could not be explained or treated in a rational manner. (5008C30) 4. those things which are considered to be at any given time survival characteristics. A survival action is a moral action and those things are considered immoral which are considered contra-survival. (SH Spec 62, 6110C04) 5. an arbitrary code of conduct not necessarily related to reason. (Scn 8-8008, p. 100)

MORES, are those things which make a society possible. They are the heavily agreed-upon, policed codes of conduct of a society. (PAB 40)

MOTION, 1. uncomfortable perceptions stemming from the reactive mind are called sensation. These are basically “pressure,” “motion,” ”dizziness,” “sexual sensation,” and “emotion and misemotion.” “Motion” is just that, a feeling of. being in motion when one is not. “Motion” includes the “winds of space,” a feeling of being blown upon especially from in front of the face. (HCOB 19 Jan 67) 2. dimension points, by shifting, can give the viewpoint the illusion of motion. The viewpoint, by shifting, can give the dimension points the illusion of motion. Motion is the manifestation of change of viewpoint of dimension points. (Scn 8-8008, p. 16) 3. is a consecutive appear and disappear in infinitely small gradients. (2ACC-19A, 5312CM09) 4. a change of position in space. (HFP, p. 110)

MOTIVATOR, 1. an aggressive or destructive act received by the person or one of the dynamics. It is called a motivator because it tends to prompt that one pays it back-it “motivates” a new overt. (HCOB 20 May 68) 2. something which the person feels has been done to him, which he is not willing to have happen. (HCO Info Ltr 2 Sept 64) 3. an act received by the person or individual causing injury, reduction or degradation of his beingness, person, associations or dynamics. (HCOB 1 Nov 68 II) 4. an overt act against oneself by another. In other words, a motivator is a harmful action performed by somebody else against oneself. (8ACC-14, 5410CM20)

MOTIVATOR HUNGER, 1. a motivator is called a “motivator” because it tends to prompt an overt. It gives a person a motive or reason or justification for an overt. When a person commits an overt or overt of omission with no motivator he tends to believe or pretends that he has received a motivator which does not in fact exist. This is a false motivator. Beings suffering from this are said to have “motivator hunger” and are often aggrieved over nothing. (HCOB 1 Nov 68) 2. Homo sapiens goes around trying to get force applied hard enough so that he gets sympathy for it and we call that motivator hunger. (2ACC-30B, 5312CM21 )

MOTIVATORISH CASE, a preclear who only gets off motivators in a session. The motivator case is well aware that each motivator answer is not truly real, but reactively he is incapable of looking at the cause side of the picture and considers any effort on the part of anyone to attempt to get him to do so as an effort on the part of that person to punish him or to make him guilty. Such a person has many overts of blaming others and uses any motivator as a justification of his overts against others. (BTB 12 Jul 62)

MOTIVATOR-OVERT ACT, whereby something is done to the preclear and then the preclear does the same thing to somebody else. (PAB 18)

MOTOR CONTROL TIME TRACK, this time track is not connected to the analytical mind and speech, but is apparently a parallel time track with greater reliability than the sensory track. The precision of data contained in the motor control time track is enormous. The motor strip time track can be asked questions down to the smallest moment of time, and the area of an engram can be so located and its character determined. (DTOT, pp. 88-89)

MOTOR STRIP, the pc’s sensory perceptions. (Exp Jour, Winter Spring, 1950)

MOTOR STRIP TIME TRACK, see MOTOR CONTROL TIME TRACK.

MSH, Mary Sue Hubbard. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

M/U or MIS-U, abbreviation for misunderstood. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

MULTIPLE ACKS, see DOUBLE ACKS.

MULTIPLE DECLARE, declaring Grades 0 to IV all at one time mostly without any mention of the end phenomena of the grade. (HCOB 30 Jun 70R)

MULTIPLE ILLNESS, the preclear is physically uncomfortable or ill from several engrams of different types all restimulated. (HCOB 23 Apr 69)

MULTIPLE SOMATICS, several somatics as one item. (HCOB 19 May 69, Health Form, Use of)

MULTIVALENCE, valens means “powerful” in Latin. It is a good term because it is the second half of ambivalent (power in two directions) and exists in any good dictionary. It is a good term because it describes (although the dictionary did not mean it to) the intent of the organism when dramatizing an engram. Multivalence would mean “many powerfuls.” It would embrace the phenomena of split personality, the strange differences of personality in people in one and then another situation. Valence in Dn means the personality of one of the dramatic personnel in an engram. (DMSMH, p. 80)

MURDER ROUTINE, a slang title for the “worse than” technique. One gets the pc to give off his overts by inferring he has done very bad things, including murder. Auditor, “Did you murder your wife?” Pc, “Oh no! I only cheated on her!” Described in full in BTB 30 Aug 72 I, issued 28 Mar 74 Ex Dn Series 8 . Actually developed in 1961 in South Africa. (LRH Def. Notes)

MUTTER TR, a drill to perfect the muzzled auditing comm cycle. (1) The coach has student give command. (2) Coach mutters an unintelligible answer at different times. (3) Student acknowledges. (4) Coach flunks if student does anything else but acknowledge. This is the entirety of this drill. It is not to be confused with any other training drill. (HCOB 1 Oct 65R)

MUTUALLY RESTIMULATIVE, two people may discover that they are mutually restimulative - which is to say each is a pseudo-person in the other’s engrams or one is restimulated (voice tone, incidents) by the other. (DMSMH, p. 389)

MUTUAL OUT RUDS, this means two or more people who mutually have ruds out on the wider group or other dynamics and do not get them in. (HCOB 17 Feb 74)

MUZZLED AUDITING, 1. stating only the model session patter and commands and TRs. It always gets the best results. (HCOB 20 Jul 72 II) 2. this could also be called rote style auditing. Muzzled auditing has been with us many years. It is the stark total of TRs 0 to 4 and not anything else added. Repetitive command auditing, using TRs 0 to 4, at Level I is done completely muzzled. (HCOB 6 Nov 64) 3. in muzzled auditing, the auditor says only two things. He gives the command and acknowledges the answer to that command. If the pc says anything that is not an answer to that command, the auditor nods his head and awaits an answer before giving acknowledgment. (HCOB 25 Mar 59)

MUZZLED COACHING, the coach says fine when he thinks it is fine and otherwise keeps his mouth shut. This is muzzled coaching. (HCOB 29 Sept 59)

MW/H (also M/W/H), missed withhold. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

MYSTERY, 1. the anatomy of mystery is unprediction, confusion and then total blackout. Mystery is the level of always pretending there’s always something to know earlier than the mystery. (PXL, p. 170) 2. oblivion of knowing. (COHA, p. 151) 3. the glue that sticks thetans to things. (SH Spec 206, 6211C01).

MYSTERY SANDWICH, 1. the principle of mystery is, of course, this: the only way anybody gets stuck to anything is by a mystery sandwich. A person cannot be connected to his body, but he can have a mystery between him and his body which will connect him. You have to understand this thing about the mystery sandwich. It’s two pieces of bread, one of which represents the body, and one of which represents the thetan, and the two pieces of bread are pulled together by a mystery. They are kept together by a volition to know the mystery. (PAB 66) 2. a thetan stuck to anything is of course just a mystery sandwich. Thetan, mystery, object-mystery sandwich. (SH Spec 48, 6108C31)

MYSTICAL MYSTIC, Slang. a type of case. The person will be totally reasonable about anything that happens in his vicinity but not do anything about it, and see nothing but good in anything including murdering babies. (SH Spec 42, 6410C13)

MYSTIQUE, qualifications or skills that set a person or thing apart and beyond the understanding of an outsider. (HCO PL 29 Oct 71 III).


N.

NARCOSYNTHESIS, 1. a complicated name for a very ancient process quite well known in Greece and India. It is drug hypnotism. A shot of sodium pentothal is given intravenously to the patient and he is asked to count backwards. It is actually a depressant on the awareness of an individual so that those attention units which remain behind the curtain of his reactive mind can be reached directly. (DMSMH, p. 123) 2. the practice of inducing sleep with drugs and then talking to the patient to draw out buried thoughts. (EOS, p. 24)

NARRATIVE CHAIN, 1. a chain of similar experiences rather than a similar somatic. (HCOB 23 May 69) 2. these are by repeating story. By incident description. (HCOB 27 Jan 70)

NARRATIVE ITEM, 1. is one which will land the pc in a single incident for which there is no chain. Flagrant example: “The time the horse Baldy dumped me in the Potomac.” Obviously, there was only one such incident. (HCOB 27 Jan 70) 2. a narrative item describes only one possible incident. (HCOB 27 Mar 71)

NATIVE STATE, 1. the potentiality of knowing everything. (SH Spec 35, 6108C08) 2. the list of no games conditions is a summary of the native state of a thetan. (HCOB 3 Sept 56) 3. the thetan is not in contact with space, energy, mass. He doesn’t have any dimension. (PAB 64) 4. the native state thetan is total knowingness. (Op Bull 1)

NATTER, sometimes pcs who have big overts become highly critical of the auditor and get in a lot of snide comments about the auditor. Such natter always indicates a real overt. (HCOB 7 Sept 64 II)

NATURAL AUDITOR, the natural auditor ties right into it and does a workmanlike job. He or she gets lots of bulletin and tape passes in ratio to flunks, absorbs data well and gets it into practice, does a passable job on a pc even at the start of training, and improves case wise rapidly under the skilled training and auditing. (HCOB 8 Mar 62)

NATURAL TRs, spoken TRs are natural. TRs are for use in life and in the auditing room. There is no uncomfortable robot execution or straining of voice. (BTB 18 Aug 71R)

NCG, no case gain despite good and sufficient auditing. (HCO PL 12 May 72)

NECESSITY LEVEL, 1. that amount of urgency or commotion necessary in the environment to extrovert the individual and put him into motion in present time. (5501C14) 2. a sudden heightened willingness which untaps a tremendous amount of ability. (PAB 129) 3. the emergency factor. A sudden increase of randomity to a sufficiency that the individual makes a momentary adjustment to it. In other words, it momentarily increases his tolerance for unexpected motion. (Abil 56)

NEEDLE PATTERN, 1. it is a chronic and constant needle behavior on a particular pc when the auditor is saying and doing nothing. It’s not a needle response. It’s a needle appearance when the auditor is saying or doing nothing. (SH Spec 224, 6212C13) 2. a pattern is a series of missed withholds culminating in a constantly active needle. A pattern can be a big dirty needle or a little dirty needle. In other words a wide dial dirty needle or a small dial dirty needle. (SH Spec 145, 6205C15)

NEEDLE REACTIONS, rise, fall, speeded rise, speeded fall, double tick (dirty needle), theta bop or any other action. (HCOB 25 Apr 63)

NEEDLE REACTIONS ABOVE GRADE IV, a response like a brief dirty needle on a pre-OT means “No” always. A real dirty needle is constant and continuous. The same small jerky needle action on a person Grade V or above means “No” or that the question is negative. (HCOB 18 Apr 68).

NEEDLE READS, see READ.

NEGATIVE BLOWDOWN, when a TA has gone below 2.0 and a relief of the condition occurs, the TA will blow UP to normal range. Hence, negative blowdown, as it is the reverse of a normal blowdown. Mentioned in BTB 7 Feb 71 II reissued 7 Aug 74, Cancellation. (LRH Def. Notes)

NEGATIVE GAIN, you can erase engrams, that’s taking away. You get actually negative gain. By the removal of the harmful thing you can get a positive advance. That’s called negative gain. (ESTO 6, 7203C03 SO II)

NEGATIVE POSTULATE, the postulate not to be. It cancels past postulates and it also cancels, in greater or lesser degree, the entire individual. (AP&A, p. 34)

NERVOUSNESS, 1. that condition which results from having one’s space as occupied, made untenable. (PDC 48) 2. distracted attention. (Spr Lect 14, 5304CM07)

NEUROSIS, 1. an emotional state containing conflicts and emotional data inhibiting the abilities or welfare of the individual. (DTOT, p. 58) 2. singly the effect of things, deranged being on some subject. (SH Spec 70, 6607C21) 3. antisocial action or anti-survival action which is compulsively undertaken by the individual. (SH Spec 299, 6308C27) 4. he’s got some idea of what’s happening, where he is on some things and some faint idea what’s happening in his environment on some things. But generally unknowingness overbalances the knowingness and so you get a neurosis. (SH Spec 41, 6108C17) 5. a habit which worsening, flies entirely out of control. One is stopped so often in life that he becomes an enemy of stopping and dislikes stopping so intensely that he himself will not stop things. Neurosis and psychosis of all classes are entirely inabilities to start, to change or to stop. (FOT, p. 68)

NEUROTIC, 1. considered to be below 2.5. The neurotic has thorough concern about the future to the degree that he has many more fears about the future than he has goals in the future. He spends much of his time pondering the past. He acts and then wonders if he has acted correctly and is sure he has not. Thoughts to him are as solid as mest. He is overwhelmed by sudden counter-efforts. He is operating on a sub-control center which has been itself very blunted. He is ill much of the time to a greater or lesser degree. He has colds. He brings “bad luck” and disaster. He is Homo sapiens at his “rational worst.” (AP&A, p. 38) 2. a neurotic is a person who has some obsession or compulsion which overmasters his self-determinism to such a degree that it is a social liability. (Spr Lect 9, 5303CM27) 3. identified by the preclear having mock-ups which will not persist or which won’t go away. (COHA, p. 232) 4. a person who is mainly harmful to himself by reason of his aberrations, but not to the point of suicide. (SOS, pp. 25-26) 5. the computation of present time only. (Scn 0-8, p. 89)

NEW PRECLEAR, never before audited. (HCOB 5 Apr 69)

NINTH DYNAMIC, 1. “the buck.” (5203CM05A) 2. aesthetics. (PDC 2) NIP, you take two energy beams and you slap them together just back of a guy’s ears. (PDC 27)

NIPPING, 1. you close down over the head of some mest body and you go “bat” and you really shoot the horsepower to him, the voltage, for just a split instant. (5206CM28A) 2. an overt act of the thetan is nipping by which he harasses other thetans, nipping mest beings which usually kills them dead much to the thetan’s surprise. (HOM, p. 50).

NO AUDITING, while seeming to deliver auditing, actually getting nothing done. Going through endless, useless motions, perhaps in top form, perhaps perfectly, none of which are calculated to advance the pc’s case one inch. (HCOB 30 Dec 62)

NO CASE GAIN, 1. persons with heavy overts on Scn make no case progres6. (HCOB 23 Nov 62) 2. no TA actions in auditing or “little TA” (less than ten divs per session). (HCO PL 5 Apr 65) 3. no case-change despite good tries with the routine processes. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65 II)

NO-GAIN-CASE, 1. the suppressive person is a specialist in making others ARC break with generalized entheta that is mostly lies. He or she is also a no-gain-case. So avid are such for the smashing of others by covert or overt means that their case is bogged and won’t move under routine processing. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65, Handling the Suppressive Person) 2. such a person has withholds, he or she can’t communicate freely to as-is the block on the track that keeps them in some yesterday. Hence, a “no-case-gain.” (HCO PL 5 Apr 65, Handling the Suppressive Person) 3. this case performs continual calculating covert hostile acts damaging to others. This case puts the enturbulence and upset into the environment, breaks the chairs, messes up the rugs and spoils the traffic flow with “goofs” done intentionally. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65, Handling the Suppressive Person) 4. the “withholdy case that ARC breaks easily,” “the blowy student” “unstable gain student.” (HCO PL 5 Apr 65 II)

NO-GAME, preponderance of win or a preponderance of lose. (PAB 73)

NO-GAME CONDITIONS, 1. no-game conditions are: knowing all, not-knowing everything, serenity, namelessness, no-effect on opponent, effect on self or team, have everything, can’t have nothing, solutions, pan-determinism, friendship with all, understanding, total communication, no communication, win, lose, no universe, no playing field, arrival, death. (FOT, p. 94) 2. a totality of barriers and a totality of freedom alike are no-game conditions. (PAB 84) 3. reached by a preponderance of win (no-game) or a preponderance of lose (no-game). (Op Bull No. 17)

NO HAVINGNESS, 1. is defined as something that a person can’t reach or doesn’t permit itself to be reached. (SH Spec 103, 6201C23) 2. no havingness is prevented reach; in other words, the concept of no reach. (SH Spec 97, 6201C09)

NO-INTERFERENCE AREA, (zone) from R6 Solo to OT III one does not do anything except keep the pc winning for R6 Solo to OT III. This is the critical band of the gradation chart. From R6 to OT III you have a closed band for other major actions. (HCOB 23 Dec 71) 2. where drugs have not been handled or only partially have been handled, the no interference zone rule is waived. (HCOB 31 May 74)

NOMENCLATURE, the set of terms used to describe things in a particular subject. (Aud 73 ASNO)

NO MENTION, a no mention of well done or very well done or anything simply means: (1) F/N did not get to examiner, (2) no major auditing errors exist in the session. (HCOB 21 Aug 70)

NON-COMMUNICATION, a non-communication consists of barriers. (COHA, p. 18) 

NON-CYCLICAL PROCESS, a repetitive process which does not cause the preclear to cycle on the time track. (HCOB 29 Sept 65)

NON-READING ITEM, one that did not read when originated or cleared and also did not read when called. (HCOB 28 Feb 71)

NON-VOCAL LOCK SCANNING, the preclear recognizes the phrases as he goes by them incident to incident, from early to late, but does not tell the auditor what phrases he is contacting. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 126)

“NO OVERTS” CASE, a case that “has never committed any overts.” Such a person might for example never seem to have anything on F-2. (BTB 22 Oct 70R)

NO RANDOMITY, below minus randomity is no randomity of any kind. One could be at this point for two reasons: because he is shuddering away from confusion or he could be at that point because he has a tremendous tolerance for confusion and for motionlessness. (Abil 36, p. 9)

NO RESPONSIBILITY, 1. unwillingness to make a decision or unwillingness to make a condition of being is the highest essence of no responsibility. (PDC 7) 2. the inability to handle force. (PDC 28)

NORMAL, type of case. The so-called normal is used here to be at around 2.5 to 3.0 on the tone scale. He is partially extroverted, partially introverted. He spends considerable time with his calculations. He evaluates slowly even when he has the data, and then postulates without realizing too much about his postulation. He has much in the past which he does not care to recall. He has much in his present which gives him concern. His future goals are rather well nullified by future fears. He is Homo sapiens. He is in terrible condition, taken from the viewpoint of Homo novis. He is in excellent condition from the viewpoint of past “ologies.” (AP&A, p. 37)

NORTH TO APATHY, Slang. pcs, I discover, go from minus tone scale up to being able to have problems or tone or solids. Any case has some point that goes from no-effect or unreal or don’t care, up to apathy. Cases go north to apathy. (HCOB 20 Aug 56)

NO SYMPATHY, 1. it’s a blackout, it’s an occlusion. “I’m not going to feel sympathy for it” is actually the phrase that goes with the concept. (5208CM07B) 2. he’s bound and determined not to be sympathetic, and that’s the emotion of no sympathy. (5208CM07B) 3. is an emotion and an action. One puts a black curtain before himself to prevent his feeling affinity with that which he is hurting. (Scn 8-80, p. 49)

NO TA, less than ten divisions per session (21/2 hours). (HCO PL 5 Apr 65, Handling the Suppressive Person) See also, TONE ARM ACTION.

NOT BEINGNESS, is an acceptance of control by the environment and abdication even of control of self. (AP&A, p. 51)

NOT DOING THE AUDITING COMMAND, is defined as simply not executing it, or doing something else, or executing the auditing command indifferently and then doing something else. (SH Spec 60, 6109C28)

NOTHINGNESS, 1. an absence of everything: no time, no space, no energy, no thought. (5501C14) 2. an absence of quantities and locations. (5501C14)

NO-TIME MOMENTS, the only things which float on the time track are the moments of silence when no communication occurred. These are no-time moments and so have no time in which they can live, and so they float forward on the time track. (Dn 55! p. 95).

NOT IN PRESENT TIME, a person who is talking on another subject than that to which cause was giving his attention. He has experienced such-a scarcity of communication elsewhere, that he is still involved with communication elsewhere. This is what we mean by “not in present time.” (Dn 55! p. 76)

NOT-IS-NESS, 1. trying to put out of existence by postulate or force something which one knows, priorly, exists. One is trying to talk against his own agreements and postulates with his new postulates, or is trying to spray down something with the force of other is-nesses in order to cause a cessation of the is-ness he objects to. (PXL, p. 64) 2. not-is-ness is the effort to handle is-ness by reducing its condition through the use of force. It is an apparency and cannot entirely vanquish an is-ness. (PXL, p. 154) 3. there are two different conditions of not-is-ness: one is just vanishment. The other one is an is-ness which somebody is trying to postulate out of existence by simply saying, “It isn’t.” A not-is-ness, in our terminology, would be this second specialized case of an individual trying to vanish something without taking responsibility for having created it. (PXL, p. 100) 4. not-is-ness is manifested as and is in itself the mechanism we know as unreality. (PXL, p. 55)

NOT-IS STRAIGHTWIRE, this is the direct cure of not-is-ness; and where you have a case that is running a bad not-is a process can evidently be invalidated or not-ised when the individual is out of session, or overnight. This is what Not-is Straightwire cures. (PAB 155)

NOT KNOW, 1. trying not to remember. (FOT, p. 84) 2. an actual ability to “not know” is an ability to erase by self-command the past without suppressing it with energy or going into any other method. (PAB 87) 3. in its most extreme manifestation is unconsciousness. Not-know in a lesser manifestation is death. The most extreme manifestation is when a person cannot go unconscious and we call that insanity. (SH Spec 15X, 6106C15)

NOT KNOWINGNESS, 1. being in present time and not in the past or the future. (PAB 88) 2. mystery. (COHA, p. 16)

NO TONE ARM ACTION, there is no meter registry of change on the meter control lever (tone arm). (HCO PL 5 May 65) See also NO TA.

NOT THERE, dispersed, hiding himself, being vague, not there most of the time. (FOT, p. 29)

NULLABLE, the condition a list must be in order to have an item found on it. (HCOB 5 Dec 62)

NULLABLE LIST, is one where items just go out very easily and the needle doesn’t dirty up to amount to anything. (SH Spec 220, 6211C29)

NULLIFICATION, the method of handling others wherein the individual seeks to minimize individuals, to be more than they and so to be able to control them. This category would rather see a man sick than well, because sick men are less dangerous than well men according to the “thinking” that takes place in this band. (SOS, p. 155)

NULLING, the auditor’s action in saying items from a list to a pc and noting the reaction of the pc by use of an E-meter. (HCOB 5 Dec 62)

NULL NEEDLE, 1. means it doesn’t get a change of pattern or a react on the question. ( SH Spec 1, 6105C07) 2. the needle continuing to behave in an action uninfluenced by the auditing question. (BIEM, p. 40) 

NULL SUBJECTS, uncharged subjects. (HCOB 8 Oct 71 III).

NUTRITION, support of the organism by organic and inorganic means (food, water, air, sunlight) during all of the present life, from conception or thereabouts to death. The nutrition of a genetic line, or course, would pass from parents to children in the forms of organic inheritance and gestation environment. (SOS


O.

OBJECT, 1. an object could be considered to be any unit manifestation of energy including matter. It has been found that the duration of an object roughly approximates its solidity. (Scn 8-8008, p. 14) 2. objects consist of grouped particles. (PRO 13, 5408C20) 3. a condensed piece of energy. (PDC 46) OBJECTIVE, dictionary definition "of or having to do with a material object as distinguished from a mental concept, idea or belief." Means here and now objects in PT as opposed to "subjective." (HCOB 2 Nov 57RA)

OBJECTIVE DUB-IN, the manifestation of putting, unknowingly, perceptions which do not in actual fact exist, in the environment. (HCOB 11 May 65)

OBJECTIVE ENVIRONMENT, is the environment everyone agrees is there. (HFP Gloss)

OBJECTIVE HAVINGNESS PROCESSES, objective duplication increase. (HCOB 29 Sept 60)

OBJECTIVE PROCESSES, 1. objective processes deal with body motions and observing and touching objects in the auditing room. (HCOB 30 Sept 71 V) 2. Look around or physical contact processes are obviously "objective." Pcs who have been on drugs obviously have to be run on objective not subjective processes. Anyone can be brought more into present time with objective processes. (HCOB 2 Nov 57RA)

OBNOSIS, 1. the observation of the obvious; the ability to look at the obvious. (SH Spec 48, 6411C04) 2. this is a coined (invented) word meaning observing the obvious. There is no English or any other language precise equivalent for it. (HCO PL 26 Jun 72)

OBSERVER, condition where the preclear cannot be anything- cannot occupy a source point or receipt point. (COHA, p. 169)

OBSESSION, he's just returning motion on something where he's had too much motion thrown at him on this subject. That's an obsession, and that's all an obsession is. It's just bouncing back the motion which has been bounced at him. (5206CM24C)

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

OCA GRAPH, 1. personality graph, Oxford Capacity Analysis. (HCOB 7 Sept 71) 2. a specially prepared graph which plots ten traits of a pc's personality from a personality test taken by the pc. (BTB 5 Nov 72 IV)

OCCLUDED, memory not available for recall. Someone who is occluded has a poor memory and poor recalls of the past. (NSOL, p. 144).

OCCLUDED CASE, 1. is fixed, most likely, in the effort of a heavy facsimile. The occluded case is using a service facsimile so heavily that it is in constant restimulation, and that service facsimile is occluded by heavy effort. The occluded case complains of illness, ordinarily. (AP&A, p. 41) 2. your occluded case is simply a balled-up track. (5206CM24F) 3. simply a heavily ridged case. (5203CM04B)

OCCLUSION, 1. something hidden, an occlusion of memory is something forgotten, i.e. not available to conscious recall. An occluded case is one whose memory is usually largely occluded and whose field of awareness is black or very dark. (COHA Gloss) 2. occlusion is simply using remote viewpoints and then having the remote viewpoints go blank. (5410CMlOB) 3. loss of viewpoint of effects. When one has lost a viewpoint with which to perceive effects and upon which he depended for all perception of effect he is very occluded. (PAB 4)

OCCLUSION TYPE OF CIRCUIT, the circuit which drops curtains across certain pieces of information or may mask "I" from contact with the standard bank or the reactive bank. This circuit might be worded, "For your own good I have to protect you from yourself." (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 206)

OFF THE TRACK, whenever you find a patient, returned, outside himself and seeing himself, that patient is off the track. (DMSMH, p. 320)

OJ, overt justification (a process name). (BTB 20 Aug 71R II)

OKAY TO AUDIT, an okay to audit means two things. There are two okays to audit. One is okay to audit as an intern. This means one has done the checksheet to the satisfaction of the intern supervisor. One can now audit for intern qualifications. The other is okay to audit as an HGC auditor. This means one has done the intern checksheet, has audited flublessly to many program completions and is passed by the HGC C/S. (HCO PL 24 Aug 71)

OLD AGE, is nothing more than a confirmed low tone on the physiological side. (5203CM05B)

OLD CUFFS, 1. [refers to a habit of writing on his cuffs of Ole Doc Methuselah's, a hero of an LRH science fiction book.] "Ole Doc sat in the sunlight and puffed his pipe and occasionally made intricate calculations on his gold cuff-his filing case was full of torn cuffs containing solutions which would have rocked even his brothers of the Universal Medical Society." (L. Ron Hubbard, Ole Doc Methuselah, p. 75) 2. they're just suppositions and so forth, theories. (5410CMlOC)

OLD TIMER, see FOUNDING SCIENTOLOGIST.

OLFACTORY, 1. with olfactory perception we perceive the minute particles of matter which register as smell. (SOS, p. 59) 2. the sense of smell is evidently activated by small particles escaping from the object, which is thus sensed traveling through space and meeting the nerves. (SA, p. 87)

-OLOGY, means study. (5407C19).

ONE-FIVE (1.5 on the tone scale), 1. numerical equivalent on the Chart of Human Evaluation for the person who is in overt hostility. Anger is his standard state. He is capable of taking destructive action and is characteristically trying to stop things. (PXL Gloss) 2. total obstacle. The definition of 1.5 would be just that, total obstacle. (2ACC-30A, 5312CM21) 3. a case of chronic anger or one which enturbulates easily into anger. (SOS, p. 51)

ONENESS, people have had the idea that there was a main body of theta and everybody became "one" when you got to the top of the tone scale. Fortunately that isn't true. But you go down tone scale and everybody becomes one. And the oneness is mest. There's no individuality whatsoever in mest. (PDC 6)

ONE-SHOT CLEAR, 1. there was a great deal of discussion in the '50s concerning the fact that there ought to be some chemical which one would load up into a syringe and the word one-shot clear became current. But it is actually a sarcastic word. I can absolutely assure you completely and 100 per cent that there is no magic single button. (Cl. VIII No. 13) 2. the command "Be three feet back of your head." This is the one-shot clear. (5410CMlOB) 3. by one-shot clear we meant one phrase or one action given once or repeated, which would bring into being the Clear as described in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Chapter II. (Dn 55! p. 134)

ONE-VALUED LOGIC, see LOGIC.

ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE, one of the control mechanisms which has been used on thetans is that when they rise in potential they are led to believe themselves one with the universe. This is distinctly untrue. Thetans are individuals. They do not as they rise up the scale, merge with other individualities. (Scn 8-8008, p. 25)

ONLY ONE, 1. if an individual can discover that he is only playing on the first dynamic and that he belongs to no other team it is certain that this individual will lose for he has before him seven remaining dynamics. And the first dynamic is seldom capable of besting by itself all the remaining dynamics. In Scn we call this condition the "only one." Here is self-determinism in the guise of selfish-determinism and here is an individual who will most certainly be overwhelmed. To enjoy life one must be some part of life. (PAB 84) 2. just above zero on the tone scale. An individual must have no effect on self and total effect on everything and everybody else. Now that is the category of only one. This person can never communicate on a team basis. (5707C25) 3. you can look at any person who is being dishonest or who is upsetting his environment or who is getting people into trouble all the time. You could look at that person and the actuality is he has no reality on his fellow man. He doesn't know they live. That's a very low-toned thing we call "only one." And when they get into that then they are able to do most anything. All criminals are in this bracket. (ASMC 2, 5506C03) 4. the preclear has gotten into a state, ordinarily, where he is the only one who can grant beingness, but he has so long restrained other people from granting life to things that he himself will no longer grant any life to things. (COHA, p. 56)

OPENING PROCEDURE BY DUPLICATION, gets the preclear to examine, communicate with and own two dissimilar objects. These objects are placed several feet apart and at a level so that the preclear can pick them up without bending over, but so he has to walk between them. (COHA, p. 48)

OPENING PROCEDURE OF 8-C, 1. the basic theory of Opening Procedure of 8-C is to make and break communication with the physical universe. Once an individual discovers that he can make and break communication with walls and objects, it will be discovered that he can let go of various pieces of his engram bank. (PAB 47) 2. consists of having the preclear move his body around the room under the auditor's direction until (a) he finds he is in actual communication with many spots on the surface of things in the room, (b) until he can select spots in the room and know that he is selecting them and can communicate with them, and (c) select spots and move to them, decide when to touch them and when to let go. (COHA, p. 44)

OPERATING, able to act and handle things. (Aud 10 UK)

OPERATING THETAN, 1. a thetan exterior who can have but doesn't have to have a body in order to control or operate thought, life, matter, energy, space and time. ( SH Spec 82, 6611C29) 2. willing and knowing cause over life, thought, matter, energy, space and time. And that would of course be mind and that would of course be universe. ( SH Spec 80, 6609C08) 3. an individual who could operate totally independently of his body whether he had one or didn't have one. He's now himself, he's not dependent on the universe around him. (SH Spec 66, 6509C09) 4. a Clear who has been refamiliarized with his capabilities. (HCOB 12 Jul 65) 5. a being at cause over matter, energy, space, time, form and life. Operating comes from "able to operate without dependency on things" and thetan is the Greek letter theta (ø), which the Greeks used to represent "thought" or perhaps "spirit" to which an "n" is added to make a new noun in the modern style used to create words in engineering. (BCR, p. 10) 6. by operating thetan we mean theta clear plus ability to operate functionally against or with mest and other life forms. (SCP, p. 3) 7. this state of being is attained by drills and familiarity after the state of Clear has been obtained. A real OT has no reactive bank, is cause over matter, energy, space, time and thought and is completely free. (HCOB 12 Jul 65)

OPERATIVE SHOCK, a shock to the person sufficient to blow up a few facsimiles. (5207CM24B)

OPPOSE LIST, a list in Routine 2-12 where if the reliable item found turned on pain, you list "Who or what would . . . (reliable item) oppose?" If it turned on sensation, list "Who or what would oppose . . . (the reliable item)?" (HCOB 23 Nov 62)

OPPOSITE POSTULATE, an individual who has made a postulate on a subject experiences "failure" when he has to make an opposite postulate later. The opposite postulate has the effect of a negative postulate. The opposite postulate is distinguished from a negative postulate because it depends upon effort which a negative postulate does not necessarily have to do. (AP&A, P- 34)

OPPOSITE VECTOR CASE, has private goals quite the reverse of getting better. (HCOB 24 Mar 60)

OPPOSITION TERMINAL, l. a designation of a type of GPM item (R6 material). (HCOB 23 Aug 65) 2. one of a pair of reliable items of equal mass and force, the significance of which the thetan has in opposition to his own intentions. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms) 3. an item or identity the pc has actually opposed (fought, been an enemy of) sometime in the past (or present) is called an opposition terminal. As the person identified himself as not it, he could experience from it only sensation. An opposition terminal when its mental residues (black masses) are recontacted in processing, produces only sensation, never pain. Symbol: oppterm. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

OP PRO BY DUP, Opening Procedure by Duplication. (SH Spec 67, 6509C21)

OPPTERM, opposition terminal. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

OPTIMUM PRECLEAR, would be one who had average response to noises and sights, who had accurate sonic and visio and who could imagine and know that he was imagining, in color-visio and tone-sonic. This person, understand clearly, may have aberrations which make him climb every chimney in town, drink every drop in every bar every night (or try it anyway), beat his wife, drown his children and suppose himself to be a jub-jub bird. In the psychosomatic line he may have arthritis, gallbladder trouble, dermatitis, migraine headaches and flat feet. Or he may have that much more horrible aberration-pride in being average and "adjusted." He is still a relatively easy case to clear. (DMSMH, p. 191)

OPTIMUM RANDOMITY, 1. from the viewpoint of the individual, something which has in it the right amount of motion or unexpectedness for his tolerance. (Scn AD) 2. the amount of unexpectedness and rapidness of motion he would be comfortable about. (Abil 36, p.6) 3. optimum randomity is a 50/50 ratio between cause and effect or a 50 percent offensive and 50 per cent defensive potential. (PAB 30)

OPTIMUM SOLUTION, the solution which brings the greatest benefit to the greatest number of dynamics. The infinitely perfect solution would be one which brought infinite survival on all dynamics. (NOTL, p. 96)

O-RATING, read and listen to the data and understanding of (HCO PL 26 Jun 72 V) See also ZERO RATE.

ORG, organization. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

ORGANIC, internal sensations and, by new definition, emotion. (Abil 71)

ORGANICALLY INSANE, missing or seared portions of the brain bringing about insanity, mainly genetic or iatrogenic and relatively rare except in institutions. (DMSMH, p. 172)

ORGANIC PERCEPTIONS, through organic perceptions we perceive the states of our own bodies, internally. (SOS, p. 59)

ORGANIC SENSATION, that sense which tells the central nervous system the state of the various organs of the body. (SA, p. 104)

ORGANISM, 1. a portion of mest which has been organized and is being controlled by theta. Organisms are alive. They are the physical manifestation of life. Theta is said, then, to be the "energy" of life. (It is not to be confused with physical energy, which is the "e" of "mest.") (Abil 114A) 2. an organism is composed of theta and mest and their altered form, entheta and enmest. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 246)

ORIENTATION, determination of location in space and time and determination of energy quantity present. This applies to past, present, future. (Scn 8-8008 Gloss)

ORIENTATION POINT, 1. that point in relation to which others have location. It is also that point from which the space containing the locations is being created. (COHA, p. 54) 2. a point of reference from which the position of other objects is judged. People are often found still using orientation points from childhood which may be thousands of miles from their present time location. The goal of Scientology is that the thetan be his own principal orientation point, and that he have the ability to use or discard any other point of reference. (COHA Gloss)

ORIGIN, a point of no-dimension, a point has neither length, breadth, nor depth. But it is something from which you could view length, breadth and depth. (PDC 11)

ORIGINAL FORMULA, the original formula which led us into Scientology was: having found the conditions, I found it was necessary to communicate with them in order to perceive, orient myself in them and with the resulting understandings find out what my purpose really was. And so that was a formula, and it was the original formula by which we moved in. (SH Spec 57, 6504C06)

ORIGINATION, in TR-4 all originations concern the coach, his ideas, reactions or difficulties, none concern the auditor. By originate is meant a statement or remark referring to the state of the coach or fancied case. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II)

ORIGIN "I", a viewpoint from which one can perceive anchor points. (PDC 13)

ORIGIN OF THE PRECLEAR, the preclear volunteers something all on his own. The preclear is as well as he can originate a communication. That means he can stand at cause on the communication formula. (PAB 151)

O/R LISTING, one clears "overrun" as "gone on too long" or "happened too often." Then one lists smoothly, calmly to the BD F/N item which simply appears. There is no nulling. (HCOB 19 May 71)

-OSIS, the condition of. (Abil 180)

O.T., operating thetan, highest state there is. (SH Spec 66, 6509C09)

O.T. ACTIVITIES, would be those programs conducted by OTs to assist Scientology. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13)

OTHER-DETERMINED REALITY, somebody has given him a facsimile and has really impressed him with it and so this looks more real to him than reality. (PRO 15, 5408CM20)

OTHER-DETERMINISM, 1. simply something else giving you orders or directions. (8ACC-6, 5410CM08) 2. something has so thoroughly overwhelmed the pc that he is it. (HCOB 7 May 59)

OTHER SIDE OF WITHHOLDS, type of case, the person who is afraid to find out. (HCOB 15 Mar 62)

OTHER TECH, is defined as any tech which is not standard tech. (FO 800)

OT METERS (future meters), an entirely different meter for an entirely different purpose. It is for use above Clear up to OT. (EME, p. 26)

OT-3A, procedure tested and released in 1960 for use on staff clearing course, in the HGC, and co-audit to produce theta clears. (HCOB 24 Jan 60) [The full rundown is contained in the HCOB 25 Jan 1960, OT-3A Procedure, HGC Allowed Processes. ]

OT TR-0, a drill to train students to be there comfortably and confront another person. The idea is to get the student able to be there comfortably in a position three feet in front of another person, to be there and not do anything else but be there. Student and coach sit facing each other with eyes closed. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II) OUT, things which should be there and aren't or should be done and aren't are said to be "out," i.e. "Enrollment books are out." (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

OUT-CREATED, created against too thoroughly. (PAB 85)

OUT-ETHICS, 1. an action or situation in which an individual is involved contrary to the ideals and best interests of his group. An act or situation or relationship contrary to the ethics standards, codes or ideals of the group or other members of the group. An act of omission or commission by an individual that could or has reduced the general effectiveness of a group or its other members. An individual act of omission or commission which impedes the general well-being of a group or impedes it in achieving its goals. (HCO PL 3 May 72) 2. a person who acts against his own moral codes and the mores of the group violates his integrity and is said to be out-ethics. (BTB 4 Dec 72)

OUTFLOW, 1. a person talking to somebody else, communicating to that person. (Dn 55!, p. 62) 2. a thetan who is being interested is simply outflowing. Interested=outflowing. Interesting=inflowing. (PXL, p. 193)

OUT LIST, a wrong list item or a wrong list. (HCOB 20 Apr 72 II)

OUT OF, in heavily restimulated circumstances the person goes "out of." In such a condition people want to stop things, cease to act, halt life, and failing this they try to run away. As soon as the actual by-passed charge is found and recognized as the charge by the person, up goes affinity and reality and communication and life can be lived. (HCOB 19 Aug 63)

OUT OF ARC PROCESS, this is the command which asks for out of affinity moments, out of reality moments and out of communication moments. (HCOB 12 Jul 64)

OUT OF PLUMB, a room has eight points at the baseboard and ceiling, and those will sometimes go completely askew. The eight points no longer make a box. They make a twisted space. The room looks like that to the person. (SH Spec 195A, 6209C27)

OUT OF SESSION, 1. when the preclear controls the session he is out of session. Therefore, it is necessary for the preclear not to stop or alter the course of action of an auditor. The moment that a preclear can satisfactorily, to himself, stop the auditor, that preclear is out of session and the probability of doing him much good while he is out of session is very remote. (HCOB 4 Oct 56) 2. there are various degrees of being out of session. The most severe of these is the person who refuses auditing. The next degree is sitting in the chair but refusing to answer questions. The next degree is sitting in the chair and being uncooperative or even choppy. (HCOB 17 Nov 60) 3. the definition of "in session" is (a) interested in own case, (b) willing to talk to the auditor. When either of these are violated the pc is "out of session" and is receiving no benefit from processing. (HCOB 17 Nov 60)

OUT OF VALENCE, 1. simply and entirely the pc was not in the body he was occupying during the incident . ( SH Spec 51, 6109C07) 2. in the pictures you get of old incidents, you may be seeing yourself "outside of yourself," not seeing the scene as you saw it then. This is being out of valence. (HFP, p. 92) 3. it means the case is too heavily charged. It is very, very, very heavily charged. So the person cannot even come to the center of his bank, he can't be in the middle of his bank and look at it. He has been living for eons watching himself so that the pictures he takes are outside. (7203C30SO) 4. if you look into suppressive person tech you will find an SP has to be out of valence to be SP. He does not know that he is because he is himself in a non-self valence. He is "somebody else" and is denying that he himself exists, which is to say denying himself as a self. (HCOB 17 Jul 71)

OUT-POINT LIST, these are the elements of illogic and insanity. (HCOB 28 Aug 70RA)

OUT RUDIMENT, a rudiment is out if it reads and in if it does not read. (EMD, p. 37)

OUT RUDS, are easy to spot. The person with an ARC break, won't talk or is misemotional or antagonistic. A problem produces fixated attention. Natter and 1.1 remarks means a withhold. (HCOB 15 Oct 74)

OUT-SCANNING, you get the energy emanating from the preclear to the environment in the incident. That's out scanning. (HCL 4, 5203CM04B)

OUT TECH, means that Scientology is not being applied or is not being correctly applied. (HCOB 13 Sept 65)

OUT THE BOTTOM, Slang. the individual drops down the tone scale so far he can go no further down. It symbolized being worse off than merely being on the bottom of the ladder. Gone downward from the bottom. (LRH Def. Notes)

OVER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, 1. acknowledging before the pc has said all. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Tone Arm Action) 2. giving an unnecessary number of Goods, Thank you's, etc., which will have the same effect as under acknowledging. (BTB 29 Jun 62)

OVERAUDITING, auditing beyond a grade of release attained. (Aud 10 UK)

OVERBURDEN, the incident is too charged in one place to be confronted. (HCOB 15 Jul 70)

OVERLISTED LIST, the pc is just kind of in apathy about it all and upset and sort of audited into the ground, and it's all sort of tight and the mass is tight and the needle is tight. The auditor had a complete list and didn't know when to stop. (SH Spec 255, 6304C04)

OVER-PERCEPTION, this is not necessarily imagination, but it can go to the length of seeing and hearing things which are not there at all, which happens to be a common insanity. (DMSMH, p. 189)

OVER-RESTIMULATION, 1. pc goes into more charge than he or she can itsa easily. The TA slows down. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Tone Ar7n Action) 2. something that is over-restimulated is not easily discharged because in some fashion or another the discharge has been prevented. It comes from getting a hold of too much and not discharging it. (SH Spec 300, 6308C28) 3. there is a condition of over-restimulation. Its definition is, it will not discharge by ordinary means. (SH Spec 300, 6308C28)

OVERRUN, 1. an overrun means doing something too long that has engrams connected with it which means an engram chain with too many engrams on it being restimulated by life or auditing. Hence overrun. If this overrun persisted unhandled eventually the pc would be overwhelmed and one in theory, would have a low TA. (HCOB 16 Jun 70) 2. gone on too long or happened too often. (HCOB 3 Jun 71) 3. means the pc came out of the bank and the pc went back into it again. (Class VIII, No. 2) 4. continuing a process past the optimum point. (Abil 218) 5. running past a free, floating needle on any type of process. (HCOB 2 Aug 65)

OVERRUNNING, means accumulating protests and upsets about it until it is just a mass of stops. Anyone can do anything forever unless he begins to stop it. (HCOB 2 Jun 71 I)

OVERSHOOTING, going beyond a completion or completing a completion. (HCOB 16 Aug 70)

OVERSHOT, entered the case too high. (PAB 61)

OVERT ACT, 1. an overt act is not just injuring someone or something; an overt act is an act of omission or commission which does the least good for the least number of dynamics or the most harm to the greatest number of dynamics. (HCO PL 1 Nov 70 III) 2. an intentionally committed harmful act committed in an effort to resolve a problem. (SH Spec 44, 6410C27) 3. that thing which you do which you aren't willing to have happen to you. (lSH ACC 10, 6009C14)

OVERT HOSTILITY, here is the occasional grouch, the complaining individual who yet makes no mistake about what he finds wrong. The "blunt, honest" type who tactlessly tears up the tenderer feelings of companions is found in this band. (SOS, p. 20)

OVERT-MOTIVATOR SEQUENCE, 1. if a fellow does an overt, he will then believe he's got to have a motivator or that he has had a motivator. (AHMC 2, 6012C31) 2. the sequence wherein someone who has committed an overt has to claim the existence of motivators. The motivators are then likely to be used to justify committing further overt acts. (PXL Gloss) OVERT OF OMISSION, a failure to act resulting in the injury, reduction or degradation of another or others in their beingness, persons, possessions or dynamics. (HCOB 1 Nov 68 II)

OVERWHELMING, 1. as a person begins to be unwilling to overwhelm, he, of course, begins to be unwilling to win and so loses pan-determinism and sinks into self-determinism. Games are, for our auditing purposes, "contests in overwhelmings." The primary overwhelming is to take space. (PAB 80) 2. overwhelming does not consist of space, energy et al. It is the idea that an overwhelming has occurred. The winner is convinced that he has overwhelmed the opposing player. The loser is convinced that he has been overwhelmed. (PAB 80) 3. to push in too tight. (SH Spec 57, 6109C21)

OVERWHUMPED, Slang. over-restimulated. (SH Spec 302A, 6309C03) O/W, overt/withhold. (HCOB 23 Aug 65) O-W BY TRANSFER, most pcs are on O-W by transfer which is to say when they kick George in the head they get a headache themselves. This makes them think they are George. (HCOB 22 Dec 60).

OWN, to own is not to label or cart away. To own is to be able to see or touch or occupy. (FOT, p. 33)

OWNERSHIP, 1. ownership is a problem of havingness. If you own something you can have it, if you don't own it you can't have it. (2ACC-29B, 5312CM20) 2. ownership could be said to be that area being covered and protected by the preclear. (PAB 8)

OWN VALENCE, his own concept of himself. (PAB 95).
