TA, 1. tone arm action. A technical term for a quantitative measure of case gain in the Scn processing of a preclear for a given unit of time. (ISE, p. 38) 2. tone arm refers to the tone arm or its motion. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms) 3. the total number of divisions down, a tone arm has moved accurately in a unit of time. (HCOB 24 Jul 64) 4. a measure of the amount of encysted force which is leaving the case. ( SH Spec 291, 6308C06)

TACIT CONSENT, 1. in the case of two preclears working on each other, each one assuming in his turn the auditor’s role, a condition can arise where each prevents the other from contacting certain engrams. This is tacit consent. A husband and wife may have a mutual period of quarrels or unhappiness. Engaged upon clearing each other, working alternately as auditor, they avoid, unknowingly, but by reactive computation, the mutual period, thus leaving in place painfully emotional engrams. (DMSMH, p. 319) 2. mutual avoidance of certain subjects. (SH Spec 63, 6110C05)

TACTILE, 1. by tactile we perceive the shape and texture of surfaces and compounds. (SOS, p. 59) 2. touch. (DMSMH, p. 14)

TALKING THE TA DOWN, it is done by the simple time-honored action of asking the right question, getting it answered, and letting the tone arm blow down. To ask the right question on this technique, you must first know what you are trying to accomplish. Why do you want to bring the TA down? The answer is simply, that the TA being high (3 .5 or above), indicates that there is some mass the preclear’s attention is on. You want that mass out of way so that you can direct the preclear’s attention where you want it. So what you simply do is get the preclear to tell you what is in restimulation so that it will key out without driving the preclear further into his bank-and thus restimulating more mass.

TAPE LECTURE NUMBER, 6408Cll SH Spec 35, Study-Evaluation of Information (example of tape lecture number and title). The first two numbers (64) give the year, 1964 . The second two (08) give the month, August, the eighth month. (C) stands for copy. The third two numbers (11) give the day, the 11th. SH Spec gives the course, the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, and then the title. From all this you know the lecture was given on 11 August, 1964, that the (35) is one of the consecutive numbers assigned for record purposes. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

TAPE PLAYERS, are the machines used on a tape course for playing back on already recorded magnetic tape. Tape recorders are the machines used to record the tapes in the first place. (BTB 22 Nov 71 II)

TAPE RECORDERS, the machines used to record the tape in the first place. (BTB 22 Nov 71 II). 

TA SINK, drops below 2 .0 (HCOB 9 Jun 71 I)

TD, Tiger Drill. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

TEARACULI APATHIA MAGNUS, Latinated nonsense for sad effect. (HCOB 14 Mar 63)

TECH, 1. by tech is meant technology, referring of course to the application of the precise scientific drills and processes of Scn. (HCOB 13 Sept 65) 2. abbreviation for “technology” or “technical,” depending on context. The technology referred to is normally that contained in HCOBs. It also means the “Technical Division” in a Scientology Church (Division 4, the division of the org that delivers training and processing). (BTB 12 Apr 72R) 3. technical. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

TECH IS IN, Scn is being applied and is being correctly applied. (HCOB 13 Sept 65)

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, is composed of all the little and large bits of technique known to the skilled painter, musician, actor, any artist. He adds these things together in his basic presentation. He knows what he is doing. And how to do it. And then to this he adds his message. (HCOB 29 Jul 73)

TECHNICAL TERM, it’s something that has a specialized meaning in one subject which doesn’t have any broader meaning, but may appear in another subject meaning something else. (HCO PL 22 Sept 72)

TECHNIQUE, a process or some action that is done by auditor and pc under the auditor’s direction. A technique is a patterned action, invariable and unchanging, composed of certain steps or actions calculated to bring about tone arm action and thus better or free a thetan. (HCOB 26 Nov 63)

TECHNIQUE 8-80, a specialized form of Scn. It is, specifically the electronics of human thought and beingness. The “8-8” stands for “Infinity-Infinity” upright, the 0 represents the static, theta. (Scn 8-80, p. 9)

TECHNIQUE 80, 1. is a method; an application which can be applied to (1) mest bodies; (2) one lifetime; (3) some segment of the whole track; or (4) which can be applied to the whole track. When I say segment of the whole track I mean that you can take and specialize with Technique 80 on addressing the genetic line of the mest body only. You can take someone and process only space opera (the two or ten million years somebody spent in space). The process is Technique 80. We use motivators, overts and deds. (5206CM27A) 2. we call Technique 80 the “to be or not to be” technique which balances out the motivator, the overt act and the ded. It’s the anatomy of maybe. It becomes an entire subject of how to take apart maybe. How to get an indecision, how to get an involved grouped series of incidents apart. Any method which does this falls under the category of Technique 80. (5206CM23A)

TECHNIQUE 88, 1. a technique is in there for everything. And that’s why we say Technique 88. There’s an infinity of techniques inside of Technique 88 . Technique 88 includes all of the technology of doing anything that man or any other being has ever done. (5206CM25B) 2. is processing the theta body and actually anything that pertains to processing the theta body can be lumped into Technique 88. (5206CM27A) 3. the knowledge and know-how necessary to clear a theta body. (5206CM27A)

TECHNOLOGY, 1. the methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sept 65) 2. a body of truths. (Class VIII No. 4)

TEMPERATURE ASSIST, assist for a pc running a temperature. The temperature process is most effective on a low order persistent fever that goes on and on for days or even weeks. (HCOB 23 Jul 71)

TEMPORARILY ENTURBULATED THETA, entheta can exist as temporary enturbulence in the individual’s life force or reason when he is confronted by unreasonable or non-survival circumstances in his environment. This could be called temporarily enturbulated theta. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 118)

TENSION, a collapsed communication line. (Spr Lect 18, 5304 CM08)

TENSOR BEAM, tractor beam. (Abil 34)

TENTH DYNAMIC, would probably be ethics. (PDC 2).

TEO, the Technical Division Establishment Officer (TEO) establishes and maintains the tech division. (HCO PL 7 Mar 72)

TERM, terminal-designation of a type of GPM item (R6 materials). (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

TERMINAL, 1. it would be any fixed mass utilized in a communication system. That, I think, is the best of the various definitions that have come out for this. Any mass used in a fixed position in any communications system. Thus you see a man would be a terminal, but a post could also be a terminal. (5703PM01) 2. something that has mass and meaning which originates, receives, relays and changes particles on a flow line. (HCO PL 25 Jul 72) 3. anything used in a communication system; something that has mass in it. Something with mass, meaning and mobility. Anything that can receive, relay or send a communication. (HCOB 25 Jan 65) 4. any point of no form or any form or dimension from which energy can flow or by which energy can be received. (Scn 8-8008, p. 32) 5. a terminal is what you need in order to get a perception. (Spr Lect 3, 5303M24) 6. one of a pair of reliable items of equal mass and force, the significance of which the thetan has aligned with his own intentions. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms) 7. an item or identity the pc has actually been sometime in the past (or present) is called a terminal. It is “the pc’s own valence” at that time. In the goals problem mass (the black masses of the reactive mind) those identities which, when contacted, produce pain, tell us at once that they are terminals. The person could feel pain only as himself (thetan plus body) and therefore identities he has been produce pain when its mental residues (black masses) are recontacted in processing Symbol: term. (HCOB 8 Nov 62)

TERMINAL ASSESSMENT, locating the terminals in the case which, when run, will produce an increase in the responsibility and reality level of the preclear. (HCOB 3 Jul 59)

TERRIBLE TRIO, well, amongst all havingness, what is the super-gold process? There is one. It is terribly certain, it does not fail in our experience and its gains are permanent. It is a process known as the Terrible Trio. The commands of the Terrible Trio are “Look around the room and tell me what you could have.” “Look around the room and tell me what you would let remain.” And, “Look around the room and tell me what you could dispense with.” When I originally gave the triple havingness process to staff auditors somebody sensing its effectiveness, dubbed it “the Terrible Trio.” (PAB 80)

TERROR, 1. the result of something having appeared engramically and then later on threatening to appear again. (SH Spec 122, 6203C19) 2. terror is a magnitude of fear. (NOTL, p. 21) 3 . fear with lots of volume. (SOS, p. 13).

TERROR STOMACH, simply a confusion in a high degree of restimulation in the vicinity of the vagus nerve. This is one of the larger nerves and it goes into agitation under restimulation. (PAB 107)

TESTED RELEASE, stable release, which would be the fellow who had no adverse needle reactions on the buttons of help, control and communication  Spec 4, 6105C26)

THAT’S IT!, when the coach says “That’s it” he means “we are through. We are going to take a breather.” (PAB 152)

THEETIE-WEETIE, 1. Slang. it’s from England, means “sweetness and light” (but they can’t face mest or any outness). Cannot go deeper into the bank than a thought. (LRH Def Notes) 2. a person with a terribly high OCA who is absolutely for the birds. The Chart of Human Evaluation will tell you the truth. (7203C30)

THEETIE-WEETIE CASE, 1. he operates in a totally psychotic way while being totally serene. The valence is all the way up at tone 40 and the pc is all the way down at minus eight. (SH Spec 2, 6105C12) 2. a “sweetness and light” case at the extreme top of the graph who will go to graph bottom before the case starts up again as though the profile were a cylinder which when it goes off the top, then appears on the bottom when people are in “serene” valences (meaning they are wholly overwhelmed as a thetan). (HCOB 5 Jun 61) 3. is high on the OCA/APA yet makes no progress. This is because such case6 believe you ought to know what they are thinking about, so every moment around them you are missing withholds. (BTB 12 Jul 62)

THEFT, the theft of objects is really an effort to steal a self. Objects represent selves to others. Thieves and what they steal cannot be understood by the logic of their material needs. They steal tokens of selves and hope to assume thereby another self. (HCOB 2 May 58)

THEORY, the data part of a course where the data as in books, tapes and manuals is given. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 III)

THERMAL, 1. by thermal we perceive temperature, hotness and coldness, and so can evaluate further our current environment by comparing it to our past environments. (SOS, p. 59) 2. a vibration of material, air, and so on-if one material is vibrating fast, we say it’s hot, and if another one is vibrating more slowly, we say it’s cold. (5203CM09A) 3. temperature. (DMSMH, p. 14) 4. the recall of temperature. (SOS Gloss)

THETA, 1. theta is thought, life force, elan vital, the spirit, the soul, or any other of the numerous definitions it has had for some thousands of years. (SOS, p. 4) 2. the life force, life energy, divine energy, elan vital, or by any other name, the energy peculiar to life which acts upon material in the physical universe and animates it, mobilizes it and changes it. It is susceptible to alteration in character or vibration, at which time it becomes enturbulated theta or entheta. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 21) 3. theta is thought; an energy of its own universe analogous to energy in the physical universe but only occasionally paralleling electromagnetic-gravitic laws. The three primary components of theta are affinity, reality, and communication. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 3) 4. reason, serenity, stability, happiness, cheerful emotion, persistence, and the other factors which man ordinarily considers desirable. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 12) 5. an energy existing separate and distinct from the physical universe. (SOS, p. 4) 6. Greek for thought or life or the spirit. (Aud 10 UK) 7. not a nothingness. It just happens to be an exterior thing to this universe-so you couldn’t talk about it in this universe’s terms. (PDC 6)

THETA BEING, 1. the “I,” it is who the preclear is. (HOM, p. 15) 2. the theta being is close to a perpetual motion picture machine in that it can create energy and impulses. It thinks without facsimiles, it can act without experience, it can know simply by being. (HOM, p. 43)

THETA BODY, a thetan very often carries with him a theta body which he mocked up on the past track and which is a number of facsimiles of old bodies he has misowned and is carrying along with him as control mechanisms which he uses to control the body he is using. (PAB 130)

THETA BOP, 1. is a small or wide steady dance of the needle. Over a spread of one-eighth of an inch, say (depending on sensitivity setting-it can be half an inch), the needle goes up and down perhaps five or ten times a second. It goes up, sticks, falls, sticks, goes up, sticks, falls, sticks, etc., always the same distance, like a slow tuning fork. It is a constant distance and a constant speed. A theta bop means “death,” “leaving,” “don’t want to be here.” It is caused by a yoyo of the preclear as a thetan vibrating out and into the body or a position in the body. It’s as if the needle is jumping between two peaks across a narrow valley. (EME, p. 16) 2. a small or wide steady dance of the needle. Depending on the sensitivity setting it can be anything from one-eighth to half an inch wide. It is very rapid, perhaps five or ten times a second. (BIEM, p. 43) 3. a diagnostic read, a sort of yoyo-in and out. It does not matter a continental how wide the theta bop is. It can be a whole dial wide. Most theta bops do it repetitively. One dip and one recovery at the exact same speed over the same area would be a one-motion theta bop. A theta bop has the equal halt at both ends. (SH Spec 1, 6105C07)

THETA CLEAR, 1. it is a person who operates exterior to a body without need of a body. (SH Spec 59, 6109C27) 2. that state wherein the preclear can remain with certainty outside his body when the body is hurt. (PAB 33) 3. a theta clear, then can be defined as a person who is at cause over his own reactive bank and can create and uncreate it at will. Less accurately he is a person who is willing to experience. Theta clear is stable. (Ab1,1 92M) 4. theta clear would mean clear of the mest body or cleared of the necessity to have a mest body. (5206CM26A) 5. there are two types of theta clear, the theta being which is cleared of its necessity or compulsion to have a body and a theta being which is cleared all the way on the track. (5206CM26B) 6. the basic definition of theta clear is: no further necessity for beingnesses. (SH Spec 36, 6108C09) 7. this is a relative not an absolute term. It means that the person, this thought unit, is clear of his body, his engrams, his facsimiles, but can handle and safely control a body. (COHA, p. 248) 8. in its highest sense, means no further dependency on bodies. (SCP, p. 3) 9. an individual who, as a being, is certain of his identity apart from that of the body, and who habitually operates the body from outside, or exteriorized. (PXL, p. 16)

THETA CLEARING, 1. to create a theta clear it is only necessary to bring the being up to a point where it can leave and return upon a mest body. (HOM, p. 59) 2. the emancipation or exteriorization of a soul. (PXL, p. 26)

THETA LINE, 1. a timeless, spaceless, influence capable of making recordings, capable of animating and motivating, controlling, forming, destroying, conserving matter, energy, space and time. (HCL-19, 5203CM10A) 2. that line where the individual uses the genetic line to make one or many bodies that pass through time and the theta body inhabits the other body from just before conception until slightly after death. This theta line is subject to several different bodies. (HCL-20, 5203CM10B) 3. life monitoring energy and making bodies. (HCL-15, 5203CM10A)

THETA-MEST THEORY, 1. a theory generated by myself in the fall of 1950 as an effort to explain (just a theory) the phenomena of an analyzer working in one direction and a reactive mind working in quite another, the reactive mind being interesting, and the analyzer being interested. (5410CM06) 2. the idea is that life is a no-substance thing, up against a physical universe which is a substance thing. Here is nothingness up against a somethingness interacting where the nothingness or the no-substance thing is actually giving orders to and handling the all substance thing, the physical universe. (UPC 3 5406CM--) 3. the idea that there was a universe and that there was thought-theta without wave-length, without mass, without time, without position in space: this was life. And that was impinged upon something else called the physical universe, which was a mechanical entity which did things in a peculiar way, and these two things together, theta-mest interacting, gave us life forms. (PXL, p. 140)

THETAN, 1. the living unit we call, in Scn, a thetan, that being taken from the Greek letter theta, the mathematic symbol used in Scn to indicate the source of life and life itself. (Abil Ma 1) 2. the awareness of awareness unit which has all potentialities but no mass, no wave-length and no location. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 3. the being who is the individual and who handles and lives in the body. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 4. (spirit) is described in Scn as having no mass, no wave-length, no energy and no time or location in space except by consideration or postulate. The spirit is not a thing. It is the creator of things. (FOT, p. 55) 5. the personality and beingness which actually is the individual and is aware of being aware and is ordinarily and normally the “person” and who the individual thinks he is. The thetan is immortal and is possessed of capabilities well in excess of those hitherto predicted for man. (Scn 8-8008, p. 9) 6. the name given to the life source. It is the individual, the being, the personality, the knowingness of the human being. (Scn 8-80, p. 46) 7. energy space production unit. (COHA, p. 247) 8. in the final analysis what is this thing called thetan? It is simply you before you mocked yourself up and that is the handiest definition I know of. (5608C--) 9. the person himself-not his body or his name, the physical universe, his mind, or anything else; that which is aware of being aware; the identity which is the individual. The thetan is most familiar to one and all as you. (Aud 25 UK) 10. a static that can consider, and can produce space and energy and objects . (PXL, p . 121 )

THETAN EXTERIOR, 1. a being who knows he is a spirit with a body and not just a body. (Aud 18) 2. he’s out but if the body were to be injured he would be back in. (PDC 52) 3. a being not influenced by a body. (SH Spec 82, 6611C29) 4. a thetan who is clear of the body and knows it but is not yet stable outside. (Scn 8-8008 Gloss)

THETAN PLUS BODY (on the tone scale), a bunch of social responses stimulus-response mechanisms that are built into the being by the society. (PDC 1)

THETAN TONE SCALE, the sub-zero to 40.0 scale is the range of the thetan. A thetan is lower than body death since it survives body death. It is in a state of knowingness below 0.375 only when it is identifying itself as a body and is to its own thinking, the body. (Scn 8-80, p. 52)

THETA PERCEPTICS, communication with the theta universe. Such perceptics may include hunches, predictions, ESP at greater and lesser distances, communication with the “dead,” perception of the Supreme Being, etc. (SOS Gloss)

THETA PERCEPTION, that which one perceives by radiating towards an object and from the reflection perceiving various characteristics of the object such as size, odor, tactile, sound, color, etc. Certainty of perception is increased by drilling in certainties as above. Theta perception is dependent upon willingness to handle and to create space, energy and objects in view of the fact that the mest universe can be established easily to be an illusion. One must have an ability to perceive illusions before one can clearly perceive the mest universe. The thetan who cannot perceive the mest universe easily will also be found to be incapable of handling and orientating other kinds of illusions with certainty. Theta perception is also a direct index to responsibility, for responsibility is the willingness to handle force. (Scn 8-8008 Gloss)

THETA POSTULATE, a postulate made without regard to evaluations, conclusions, or time. (PDC 7)

THETA TIME, only now, but some of it gets left back in mest time in an engram. (NOTL, p. 15)

THETA TO THE NTH DEGREE, meaning unlimited or vast. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

THETA TRAPS, how can you trap a thetan? By curiosity, by giving him awards and prizes (of an implant), by retractor screens, by mock-ups, by ornate buildings which he will enter unsuspectingly to be electroniced down: by many such means the thetan is reduced from knowing to a colonist, a slave, a MEST body. All theta traps have one thing in common: they use electronic force to knock the thetan into forgetting, into unknowingness, into effect. Their purpose is to rid the area of those nuisances, the thetans who cannot be policed, and gain personnel- always the former, not always the latter. (HOM, pp. 71-72)

THETA UNIVERSE, 1. thought matter (ideas), thought energy, thought space, and thought time, combined in an independent universe analogous to the material universe. One of the purposes of theta is postulated as the conquest, change, and ordering of mest. (SOS Gloss) 2. is a postulated reality for which there exists much evidence. (SOS, p. 99)

THINKING, 1. that process in which a person engages by which he hopes he will someday come to know. (2ACC lB, 5311CM17) 2. the combination of past observations to derive a future observation. (PAB 8) 3. a substitution for an ability to predict. (2ACC 21A, 5312CM11) 4. condensed effort. (2ACC 21A, 5312CM11) 5. comparing a particular datum with the physical universe as it is known and observed. (Lecture: Education and the Auditor, 1951, p. 9)

THINKINGNESS, 1. down the scale at the level below effort. It comes in as figure-figure-figure-figure-figure. “I’ll just figure this out and I’ll get a computation and a calculation and I’ll add it up to . . . Now let me see . . .” We don’t know how all of this mechanic got into a postulate, but they’ve let it get in there. So that’s the level, thinkingness. (PXL, p. 169) 2. the potential of considering. (COHA Gloss).

THIRD DYNAMIC, see DYNAMICS.

THIRD PARTY LAW, the law would seem to be: a third party must be present and unknown in every quarrel for a conflict to exist. (HCOB 26 Dec 68)

THIRD POSTULATE, 1. forget. (PAB 66) 2. forgettingness. (SH Spec 35, 6108C08)

THIRD STAGE RELEASE, see STAGES OF RELEASE.

THOUGHT, 1. the perception of the present and the comparison of it to the perceptions and conclusions of the past in order to direct action in the immediate or distant future. (Scn 0-8, p. 78) 2. the manifestation of evolving a low-level certainty of observation from a number of past observations. (PAB 8) 3. a static of unlimited capabilities, which has itself no wave-length, no space, and no time. It is impinged upon a physical universe which has space, time, energy and matter. The mission of thought is survival in the physical universe and in order to do this it is effecting a conquest of the physical universe. (5203 CM03B) 4. thought is the phenomenon of combining, imagining or postulating theta facsimiles for the estimation of future physical efforts. (AP&A, p. 22) 5. thought is not motion in space and time. Thought is a static containing an image of motion. (HFP, p. 25) 6. the subject matter of Scn. It is considered as a kind of “energy” which is not part of the physical universe. It controls energy, but has no wave-length. It uses matter but it has no mass. It is found in space, but it has no position. It records time but it is not subject to time. In Scn the Greek word (and letter), theta, is used as a symbol for thought. (Abil 114A) 7. the causal agent in an organism. It is thought which causes everything both structural and functional that happens in an organism. An organism without thought is already dead. (Abil 114A )

THREE FLOWS, see TRIPLE FLOWS.

THREE GA XX (3GAXX), 1. it’s a research numbering for a process called Three GA Criss Cross. It lists and handles some types of implants. (LRH Def. Notes) 2. 3GA Criss Cross is an activity engaged upon by the auditor to unburden the case and locate goals. (SH Spec 218, 6211C27) Abbr. 3GAXX.

3 MAY [72] PL, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter 3 May 1972 Important-Executive Series 12-Ethics and Executives, executive or officers steps for getting in Ethics on a staff member. (HCO PL 3 May 72)

THREE (3) S & Ds, (1) is a specific rundown for doing S & Ds covered fully in HCOB 30 Jun 71R. (2) 3 S & Ds as a rundown is used in the PTS Rundown without change. (HCOB 9 Dec 71RA).

THREE UNIVERSES, 1. the universes, then, are three in number: the universe created by one viewpoint, the universe created by every other viewpoint, the universe created by the mutual actions of viewpoints which is agreed to be upheld-the physical universe. (COHA, p. 185) 2. the first of these is one’s own universe. The second universe would be the material universe, which is the universe of matter, energy, space and time, which is the common meeting ground of all of us. The third universe is actually a class of universes, which could be called “the other fellow’s universe,” for he and all the class of “other fellows” have universes of their own. (COHA, p. 188)

TICK, small jerk of needle, (meter read). (HCOB 29 Apr 69)

TIGER, someone who has been repeatedly associated with goofed projects and operations and who actually has caused such to occur. He is a person who is continually out-ethics. He has failed to get ethics in on himself and he is in a group of people as a tiger would be dangerous. (FO 872) [This is the derogatory form of this term and when it is used by LRH is not always meant in the above sense.]

TIGER DRILL, 1. a drill where the coach can give different reads and different goals for the student auditor to work on, the only condition being that the goals selected be those which would be most unlikely on anyone’s goals list. The goal used in this drill is: To be a tiger. (HCOB 1 Aug 62 II) 2. the use of the word tiger was so that a null, unmeaningful word would be on the drill or not restimulate anyone. Later, because of the drill, tiger=SP. (LRH Def. Notes) 3. that series of buttons which are capable of preventing a right goal or level from reading or making a wrong level read, combined in an appropriate exercise. (HCOB 7 Nov 62 III) 4. this drill is used in Routine 2-12 to sort out the last three or four items left in on each nulling. In 3GAXX it is used on the last three or four items left in and on any goals list. (HCOB 29 Nov 62)

TIME, 1. time is basically a postulate that space and particles will persist. (The rate of their persistence is what we measure with clocks and the motion of heavenly bodies.) (PAB 86) 2. time is actually a consideration but there is the experience o f time. There is a distance, there is a velocity of particle travel-and the movement of that particle in relationship to its starting point and in relationship to its ending point, itself is the consideration of time. (5410CM13) 3. exists in those things a thetan creates. It is a shift of particles, always making new space, always at an agreed-upon rate. (COHA, p. 249) 4. simply a consideration, the considerations of time itself are mechanically tracked by the alteration of the position of the particles in space. (PAB 46) 5. a manifestation in space which is varied by objects. (Scn 8-8008, p. 14) 6. an abstract manifestation which has no existence beyond the idea of time occasioned by objects, where an object may be either energy or matter. (Scn 8-8008, p. 26) 7. time is the co-action of particles. You can’t have action of particle at all unless you have space, and when you have a change in space then you have a different time. (PXL, p. 135) 8. time is a consideration which brings about persistence. And the mechanic of bringing about that persistence is, by alteration. And so we have alter-is-ness taking place immediately after an as-is-ness is created, and so we get persistence. In other words, we have to change the location of a particle in space. (PXL, p. 114)

TIMELESSNESS, merely means something that endures across long spans of time. (PDC 13)

TIME LIMITER, the auditor prefaces a question with a time limiter such as, “In this lifetime . . .” “In auditing . . .” or whatever applies. (HCOB 3 Jul 62)

TIME SHIFT, 1. the auditor can take a preclear straight through an incident by announcing “It is one minute later, it is two minutes later. Three minutes have gone by,” and so forth. The auditor does not have to wait for those minutes to elapse; he just announces them. The time shift is generally used when the auditor is trying to get the preclear ahead of an incident to make sure that he really has a beginning. (DMSMH, p. 224) 2. the technique by which a preclear can be moved short or long distances on the track by specific announcement of the amount of time forward the preclear is to go or time backwards, or return or progression through intervals of time. (It is also useful to find out if the preclear is moving or which direction he is moving on the time track in order to discover the action some engram may be having upon him.) (DMSMH, p. 226)

TIME TAB, thoughts are filed by your concept of when they happened. As long as you know the time tab of any thought, it is yours completely. When you do not know the time tab of a thought, you no longer control it. (HFP, p. 111)

TIME TRACK, 1. the consecutive record of mental image pictures which accumulates through the preclear’s life or lives. It is very exactly dated. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 2. the time span of the individual from beingness to present time on which lies the sequence of events of his total existence. (HCOB 9 Mar 60) 3. the endless record, complete with fifty-two perceptions of the pc’s entire past. The time track is a very accurate record of the pc’s past, very accurately timed, very obedient to the auditor. If motion picture film were 3D, had fifty-two perceptions and could fully react upon the observer, the time track could be called a motion picture film. It is at least 350,000,000,000,000 years long, probably much longer, with a scene about every 1/25 of a second. (HCOB 15 May 63) 4. consists of all the consecutive moments of “now” from the earliest moment of life of the organism to present time. Actually, the track is a multiple bundle of perceptics; and it might be said that there is a time track for each perceptic, all tracks running simultaneously. The track might also be considered as a system of filing recordings made of the environment and the organism, filed according to time received. All the perceptions of the environment and the organism during the entire lifetime, up to now, or present time, are recorded, faintly or deeply, upon the time track. (SOS, p. 102).

TIP, Technical Individual Program. This form of issue is originated so that personal programs may be issued for students and pcs and published. It is individually written for the student or pc. It is on green paper. (TIP 1 FAO, 20 Jun 71)

TOCKY, needle reaction-small RS. (HCOB 8 Jul 64 II)

TOKEN, 1. the term token is defined to embrace the objects and habits which an individual or society keeps by not knowing they are extensions of an ally. (DMSMH, p. 354) 2. the token is a very special kind of restimulator. The token is any object, practice or mannerism which one or more allies used. By identity thought the ally is survival, anything the ally used or did is, therefore, survival. (DMSMH, p. 355)

TONE, 1. tones have to do with physics, they have to do with vibration, they have to do with corresponding vibrations in the physical sciences. It merely means a condition. (5904C08) 2. sound quality; the difference between a jagged or ragged sound wave and a smooth sound wave as in a musical note. (SA, p. 85) 3. the emotional condition of an engram or the general condition of an individual. (DTOT Gloss)

TONE ARM, 1. meter control lever. (HCO PL 5 May 65) 2. the measure of accumulation of charge. (Class VIII No. 6) 3. registers density of mass (ridges, pictures, machines, circuits) in the mind of the preclear. This is actual mass, not imaginary, and can be weighed, measured by resistance etc. Therefore the tone arm registers state of case at any given time in processing. The tone arm also registers advance of case during processing by moving. (EME, p. 9) 4. the tone arm reads at 5000 ohms female and 12,500 ohms male for the body. It reads the body. When a person is Clear the E-meter ceases to read. That tells you why a dead thetan reads at 2 or 3. (SH Spec 1, 6105C07) 5. the instrument which measures the adequacy of restimulation. That shows you that an adequate amount of charge is being restimulated in the session, and that it is being adequately dispelled on the itsa line. This shows you that the cycle of what’s-it-itsa is in progress and the amount of restimulation is adequate to get auditing done. (SH Spec 295, 6308C15) Abbr. TA.

TONE ARM ACTION, is measured by divisions down per 2 1/2 hour session or per hour of auditing. TA action is not counted by up and down, only down is used. Usually the decimal system is used. (HCOB 25 Sept 63)

TONE ARM BLOWDOWN, a sudden downwards motion of the tone arm. (EMD, p. 27)

TONE ARM COUNTER, records the distance of downward movements traversed by the tone arm. It is recorded in numbers of divisions-from 4 to 3 would be one division. (BIEM, p.33)

TONE ARM MOTION, the amount of divisions, down, measured for a 2 1/2 hour session. (EMD, p. 25) See also TONE ARM ACTION.

TONE FOUR, 1. denotes a person who has achieved rationality and cheerfulness. (DTOT, p. 60) 2. the emotional state of enthusiasm. (DTOT, p. 10) 3. tone 4 indicates eager pursuit of activity, with complete freedom of choice for other activities as desired. (NOTL, p. 99)

TONE 40,1. defined as “giving a command and just knowing that it will be executed despite any contrary appearances.” Tone 40 is positive postulating. (PAB 133) 2. a positive postulate with no counter-thought expected, anticipated or anything else; that is, total control. (PAB 152) 3. an execution of intention. (HCOB 23 Aug 65) 4. means unlimited space at will. (5707C25)

TONE 40 AUDITING, 1. positive, knowing, predictable control toward the preclear’s willingness to be at cause concerning his body and his attention. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 2. control by direct tone 40 command. (HCOB 2 Apr 58).

TONE 40 BOOK AND BOTTLE, is not Opening Procedure by Duplication. You have to be ready to assume total control of the preclear to run tone 40 Book and Bottle. The commands are the same, except that you never acknowledge anything but the execution of the auditing commands. (PAB 153)

TONE 40 COMMAND, intention without reservation. (HCOB 1 Dec 65)

TONE 40 8-C, a total accurate estimation of effort with no halts or jagged motions- that is, smooth. (PAB 152)

TONE SCALE, 1. we have a gradient scale from space to matter which starts at the arbitrary number of 40.0 for our purposes and goes down to 0.0 for the purposes of Homo sapiens and to -8 .0 for the purposes of estimating a thetan. This gradient scale is called the tone scale. (Scn 8-8008, p. 20) 2. the main gradient scale of Scn. One of the most important observations which led to the formulation of this scale was the change in emotional manifestation exhibited by a person who was being processed. The progress from painful emotions to pleasant emotions was so reliable and evident on indication of success, that it became the main measuring stick of the progress of a case. (Abil 114A) 3. essentially an assignation of numerical value by which individuals can be numerically classified. It is not arbitrary but will be found to approximate some actual governing law in nature. (DTOT, p. 59) 4. under affinity we have the various emotional tones ranged from the highest to the lowest and these are, in part, serenity (the highest level), enthusiasm (as we proceeded downward towards the baser affinities), conservatism, boredom, antagonism, anger, covert hostility, fear, grief, apathy. This in Scn is called the tone scale. (FOT, p. 40) 5. a scale which plots the descending spiral of life from full vitality and consciousness through half-vitality and half-consciousness down to death. (SA, p . 3 7 ) 6. the range of emotion. The tone scale goes in harmonics of movement, and that is all. (5203CM04B) 7. a study of varying degrees of ARC. (COHA, p. 162)

TOUCH, the sense of touch is that communication channel which informs the central control system of the body whenever some portion of the body is in contact with the material universe, other organisms, or the organism itself. It has four subdivisions: pressure, friction, heat or cold and oiliness. An aberrated sense of touch is partially responsible for a dislike of food as well as impotency and antipathy for the sexual act. (SA, p. 90)

TOUCH ASSIST, 1. an assist which brings the patient’s attention to injured or affected body areas. (HCOB 2 Apr 69) 2 . this is run on both sides of the body. It is run until the pain is gone, cog, F/N. It is run around the injury and especially below the injury; i.e. further from the head than the injury. Use a simple command like “Feel my finger. Thank you.” (BTB 9 Oct 67R).

TOUGH CASE, the tough case (who is also the difficult student) is the sole reason one has an urge to alter a process. The poor TA type case or the “no change” response to routine processes. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65 II)

TR-0, a drill to train students to confront a preclear with auditing only or with nothing. The whole idea is to get the student able to be there comfortably in a position three feet in front of a preclear, to be there and not do anything else but be there. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II)

TR-l, a drill to train the student to deliver a command newly and in a new unit of time to a preclear without flinching or trying to overwhelm or using a via.

TR-3, a drill to teach a student to duplicate without variation an auditing question, each time newly, in its own unit of time, not as a blur with other questions, and to acknowledge it. It is to teach that one never asks a second question until he has received an answer to the one asked. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II)

TR-4, a drill to teach the student not to be tongue-tied or startled or thrown off session by originations of the preclear and to maintain ARC with the preclear throughout an origination. (HCOB 16 Aug 71 II)

TR-5, 1. a drill called “Hand Mimicry,” a drill to educate students that verbal commands are not entirely necessary. To make students physically telegraph an intention and to show the students the necessity of having preclear obey commands. (HCOB 11 Jun 57) 2 . first in auditing we have to get the pc to sit there and be willing to be audited. We have for this many processes. Best is TR-5 . “You make that body sit in that chair.” “Thank you.” (HCOB 8 Apr 58, Auditing the PC on Clear Procedure)

TR-5N, 1. is ARC break handling. (HCOB 7 Dec 58) 2 . the commands are “What has anyone done wrong to you?” and “What have you done wrong to people?” and other ARC break questions. (HCOB 17 Dec 58 II) [Later revised to] 3 . to handle charge on the auditor, TR-5N should be run, if charge does not blow on a little two way comm. TR5N is: “What have I done to you?” “What have you done to me?” (HCOB 25 Jan 61)

TR-6, called 8-C (body control) the first part of this drill is to accustom students to moving another body than their own without verbal communication. The second part is to accustom students to moving another body, by and while giving commands, only, and to accustom students to proper commands of 8-C. (HCOB 7 May 68)

TR-7, a drill to train a student never to be stopped by a person when he gives a command. To train him to run fine control in any circumstances; to teach him to handle rebellious people and to bring about his willingness to handle other people. (HCOB 7 May 68)

TR-8, a drill to make students clearly achieve tone 40 commands. To clarify intentions as different from words. To start students on the road to handling objects and people with postulates and to obtain obedience not wholly based on spoken commands. (HCOB 7 May 68)

TR-9, a drill to make students able to maintain tone 40 under any stress or duress. (HCOB 7 May 68)

TR-10, for the case who cannot handle a PT problem with a process there is always locational (TR Ten). Many a person with a PT problem can only participate in a session to the extent of TR Ten, “You notice that object (wall, floor, chair, etc.)” (SCP, p. 8)

TR-101, the purpose of TR-101 is to get the student able to give all R3R commands accurately in correct order without hesitation or having to think what the next command should be. (BTB 9 Oct 71R VII)

TR-102, a drill called “Auditing a Doll.” Its purpose is to familiarize the student with the materials of auditing and coordinate and apply the commands and processes of Standard Dianetics in an auditing session. (BTB 9 Oct 71R VII)

TR-103, this drill is to give the student auditor total certainty on the R3R procedure, handling the meter and the admin at the same time. (BTB 20 May 70)

TR-104, this drill is to train the student auditor to deliver a standard session, with standard procedure, using standard commands, without session additives, and to train the student auditor to apply TRs 0-4 in the R3R procedure, here having a “real” pc, E-meter and admin handled with skill. (BTB 20 May 70)

TRACK, the time track-the endless record, complete with fifty-two perceptions of the pc’s entire past. (HCOB 13 Apr 64, Scn VI Part One Glossary of Terms)

TRAP, 1. one is trapped by those things to which he will not grant havingness. A game condition demands that one denies havingness. Therefore games trap. Traps are part of games. That is all they are. (PAB 94) 2 . all a trap is, is being inside something, interiorized. (5410CMlOC) 3 . theta and mest interconnected too strongly are the components of a trap. Theta is mixed up with mest, mest is mixed up with theta. (SCP, p. 21)

TRIPLE FLOWS, 1. a being has a minimum of three flows. By “flow” is meant a directional thought, energy or action. The three flows are inward to oneself, outward to another or others, and crossways, others to others. (HCOB 5 Oct 69) 2. the three primary flows are outflow (self to another), inflow (another to self) and crossflow (another to another or others to others). (Scn 0-8, Gloss).

TRIPLE GRADES, 1. I had not discovered that lower grades were gone out of use and I let be published Triple Grades which seemed to condense all lower grades. The major process or major grade process is definitely not enough, to make a pc make a lower grade. (HCOB 30 Jun 70R) 2. quickie lower grades also called “Triple Grades” means one F/N for each of three flows or three F/Ns per grade. There are not just three F/Ns per grade. There are dozens of F/Ns.

(HCOB 19 Jun 71 III) 2. is an inquiry of the pc as to what is going on and an invitation to him to look at it, and that is all . ( SH Spec 43, 6108C22) 3. a two-way cycle of communication would work as follows: Joe, having originated a communication, and having completed it, may then wait for Bill to originate a communication to Joe, thus completing the remainder of the two-w a y cycle of communication. Thus we get the normal cycle of a communication between two terminals. (Dn 55!, p. 84) 4. the cycle is Cause, Distance, Effect, with Effect then becoming Cause and communicating across a distance to the original Source, which is now Effect and this we call a two-way communication. (Dn 55!, p. 64) Abbr. 2WC or TWC. TYPE THREE, see PTS TYPE THREE.

UNDERSHOOTING, to leave a cycle incomplete and go off to something else. (HCOB 26 Aug 70)

UNDERSTANDING, 1. understanding is composed of affinity, reality and communication. (SH Spec 79, 6609C01) 2. knowingness could simply be a potential understanding. It could be an ability being carried forward, an action taking place; understanding is an action. Understanding is knowingness of life to a certain direction and object and thing or action. The understanding is knowingness in action. We break down this and we get affinity, reality and communication. (5411CM05) 3. understanding is a sort of a total solvent, it’s the universal solvent, it washes away everything. (SH Spec 79, 6609C01)

UNETHICAL CONDUCT, is actually the conduct of destruction and fear; lies are told because one is afraid of the consequences should one tell the truth; thus, the liar is inevitably a coward, the coward is inevitably a liar. (SOS, pp. 128-129)

UNUSUAL SOLUTIONS, 1. a phrase describing actions taken by an auditor or a case or auditing supervisor when he or she has not spotted the gross auditing error. The “unusual solution” seldom resolves any case because the data on which it is based (the observation or report) is incomplete or inaccurate. (HCOB 16 Nov 64) 2. an “unusual solution” is one evolved to remedy an abuse of existing technology. (ISE, p. 46)

UNWILLING CAUSE, 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. Having to be at cause because he doesn’t dare be at effect. (SCP, p. 9)

UPPER INDOCTRINATION, training processes 6 to 9 . The 18th ACC in Washington, July 8 to August 16, 1951, was taught in three units composed as follows: communication course, upper indoctrination course, CCH course. (HCOB 8 Jun 57)

UPPER LEVEL, is very simply defined as anything from Power on up. (ED 110R FLAG)

VACUUM, 1. a vacuum is a super cold object which, if brought into contact with bank, drinks bank. Objects at 25°F or less have high electrical capacitance, low resistance. (PAB 106) 2. a vacuum is a super cold object that attracts electronically into it, the whole track. (PAB 97)

VALENCE, 1. a valence is an identity complete with bank mass or mental image picture mass of somebody other than the identity selected by oneself. In other words, what we usually mean by valence is somebody else’s identity assumed by a person unknowingly. (17ACC-10, 5703C10) 2. the valence mechanism produces whole people for the preclear to be and will include habits and mannerisms which are not mentioned in engrams but are a result of the preclear’s compulsion to copy certain people. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 202) 3. a valence is a false or true identity. The preclear has his own valence. Then there are available to him the valences of all persons who appear in his engrams. (SOS, p. 106) 4. just an identity that is so dominant that it balls-up a whole section of the whole track. It takes a large section of the whole track and bundles it all up in a black ball and it’s full of pictures. (SH Spec 105, 6201C25) 5. a valence is a substitute for self taken on after the fact of lost confidence in self. (SH Spec 68, 6110C18) 6. the combined package of a personality which one assumes as does an actor on a stage except in life one doesn’t usually assume them knowingly. (5707C17) 7. a valence is a commanded mimicry of another person or thing or imagined entity. These commands would be in engrams. The valence is not contained in a circuit. The valence and the circuit are two different things. The valence is a whole person, a whole thing, or a large number of persons or things. The circuit robs “I” of attention units. The valence transplants “I.” It takes “I” and puts him somewhere else. (NOTL, p. 82) 8. the personality of one of the dramatic personnel in an engram. (DMSMH, p. 81) 9. the form and identity of the preclear or another, the beingness. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 10. a valence is a synthetic beingness, at best, or it is a beingness which the pc is not, but is pretending to be or thinks he is. That beingness could have been created for him by a duplication of an existing beingness, or a synthetic beingness built up by the descriptions of somebody else. (SH Spec 41, 6108C17) 11. a facsimile personality made capable of force by the counter-effort of the moment or receipt into the plus or minus randomity of unconsciousness. Valences are assistive, compulsive or inhibitive to the organism. A control center is not a valence. (Scn 0-8, p. 86) 12. there are many valences in everyone. By a valence is meant an actual or a shadow personality, one’s own valence is his actual personality. (SA, p. 159) 13. valens means “powerful” in Latin. It is a good term because it is the second half of ambivalent (power in two directions). It is a good term because it describes 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)

VALENCE BOUNCER, which prohibits an individual from going into some particular valence. (SOS, p. 182)

VALENCE CASE, the schizophrenic of psychiatry, the person who shifts from one identity to another, in Dn, we call a valence case. (SOS, p. 75)

VALENCE CLOSURE, you snap terminals and obsessively become the thing you have overts against. (SH Spec 53, 6109C13)

VALENCE DENYER, which may even deny that the person’s own valence exists. (SOS, p. 182)

VALENCE GROUPER, which makes all valences into one valence. (SOS, p. 182).

VALENCE SHIFT, pc will cognite on having been out of valence and will return to his own valence. It’s a cognition on beingness, not doingness or havingness. (BTB 26 Nov 71 III)

VALENCE SHIFTER, 1. a valence shifter is anything that indicates the person should be somebody else, with such a phrase a person is liable to shift instantly into another valence. (NOTL, p. 110) 2. a phrase which causes the individual to shift into another identity. The phrase “you ought to be in his shoes” and the phrase “you’re just like your mother” are valence shifters, which change the preclear from his own identity into the whole identity of another person. (SOS, p. 106) 3. the phrase known as the “valence shifter” may force the person to be in any or every valence (grouper), or may force him to be barred out of a valence (bouncer) so that he cannot imitate some human being such as father, who may have had very good qualities well worth imitating. Typical valence shifters are such phrases as “you’re just like your father,” “I’ll have to pretend I’m somebody else.” (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 201) [This term has since been used to also denote the name of an auditing action.] 4. a list process to handle “out of valence.” (HCOB 10 Sept 68)

VALENCE WALL, can actually exist in the individual to a point where he can be either one of two persons, himself and another person. In the very highly-charged case, in the case of the obvious psychotic, these valence walls are so well defined that the auditor can almost watch the person click from one valence to another. (SOS, p. 75)

VALIDATION EFFORT PROCESSING, this consists of discovering moments when the preclear is successfully approaching goals, when he is successfully exerting an effort, when his self-determined effort is winning. (5110CM01)

VALIDATION STRAIGHTWIRE, the theory of which was to validate all the good moments of the preclear’s past by having him recall them. (Abil SW, p. 7)

VAMPIRE IDEA, the personality which absorbs the life and lives on the life of others. (PAB 8)

VBIs, very bad indicators. (BTB 6 Nov 72RA IV)

VEDA, 1. we find Scn’s earliest certainly known ancestor in the Veda. The Veda is a study of the whereins and whereases and who made it and why. It is a religion. It should not be confused as anything else but a religion. And the word veda simply means: lookingness or knowingness. (PXL, p. 10) 2. veda itself means simply knowingness or sacred lore and don’t think that is otherwise than a synonym. Knowingness has always been considered sacred lore. (PXL, p. 12)

VERY WELL DONE, 1. if the auditor did the C/S, did a correct session, got an F/N at exam and did the admin and next C/S is correct, then the C/S marks “very well done.” (HCOB 5 Mar 71) 2. an auditor gets a “very well done” when the session by worksheet inspection, exam report inspection is: (1) F/N, VGIs at examiner, (2) the auditing is totally flubless and by the book, (3) the whole C/S ordered was done without departure and to the expected result. (HCOB 21 Aug 70)

VGIs, 1. abbreviation for very good indicators. It means good indicators to a very marked degree. Extremely good indicators. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) 2 . pc happy. (HCOB 20 Feb 70)

VIA, via means a relay point in a communication line. To talk via a body, to get energy via eating alike are communication by routes. Enough vias make a stop. A stop is made out of vias. (COHA, p. 108).

VICTIM, 1. a destroyed, or threatened with destruction receipt point. (lMACC-7, 5911C12) 2.a victim is an unwilling and unknowing effect of life, matter, energy, space and time. (HCOB 3 Sept 59)

VIEWPOINT, 1. a point of awareness from which one can perceive. (PAB 2) 2. that thing which an individual puts out remotely, to look through. A system of remote lookingness- we’ll call it just remote viewpoint. That’s a specialized kind of viewpoint. And the place from which the individual is himself looking, we’ll call flatly a viewpoint. (2ACC 17A, 5312CM07) 3. evaluation is the reactive mind’s conception of viewpoint. The reactive mind does not perceive, it evaluates. To the analytical mind it may sometimes appear that the reactive mind has a viewpoint. The reactive mind does not have a viewpoint, it has an evaluation of viewpoint. Thus the viewpoint of the analytical mind is an actual point from which one perceives. Perception is done by sight, sound, smell, tactile, etc. The reactive mind’s ‘viewpoint’ is an opinion based on another opinion and upon a very small amount of observation, and that observation would be formed out of uncertainties. Thus the confusion of the word viewpoint itself. It can be a point from which one can be aware, which is its analytical definition, and it can be somebody’s ideas on a certain subject which is the reactive definition. (CONA, pp. 208-209)

VIEWPOINT PROCESSING, 1. this process seeks to resolve the problems set up by the evaluation of one being for another. It resolves in particular dependence upon people, objects, bodies and special systems of communication. Viewpoint processing resolves dependencies. (PAB 8) . what we are trying to do here, then, is not to run out all the engrams in the bank but to release and free the viewpoints which are being resisted. (PAB 8)

VIEWPOINT STRAIGHTWIRE, 1. the formula of this process is: all the definitions and axioms, arrangements and scales of Scn should be used in such a way as to bring about a greater tolerance of such viewpoints on the part of the preclear. That means that any scale there is, any arrangement of fundamentals in thinkingness, beingness, could be so given in a straightwire process that it would bring about a higher state of tolerance on the part of the preclear. (PXL, p. 248) 2. this process is to increase the preclear’s ability to tolerate views. (COHA, p. 66)

VISIO, 1. recalling a scene by seeing it again is called in Dn visio , by which is meant visual recall. (SOS, p. 72) 2. with visio we perceive light waves, which, as sight, are compared with experience and evaluated. (SOS, p. 59) 3. the ability to see in facsimile form something one has seen earlier so that one sees it again in the same color, dimension scale, brightness and detail as it was originally viewed. (PXL, p. 230)

VISIO IMAGERY, when a person can recall things he has seen simply by seeing them again, in color, in his mind. (Exp Jour, Winter-Spring, 1950)

VISIO SEMANTIC, the recordings of words read. These are special parts of the sound and sight files. (DMSMH, p. 46)

VITAMIN E, the apparent acting of this vitamin is to oxygenate the blood and inhibit the body from pulling in mental masses due to oxygen-energy starvation. (HCOB 27 Dec 65)

VITAMINS, vitamins are not drugs. They are nutrition. (Aud 71 ASHO)

V UNIT, 1. in 1962 a Saint Hill Special Briefing Course unit for co-auditing heavily supervised R2-10 or R2-12 directed toward results. There were no checksheets beyond course regulations. (HCO PL 8 Dec 62) 2. the purpose of V unit is to: (1) get the student into some kind of shape to finish the SHSBC, (2) give the student a win as an auditor, (3) establish an auditing reality on Scn. (HCO PL 13 Feb 63).


W. 

WALKING OUT PROCESSES, type of process where the student takes his preclear out into some populated area. (PAB 70)

WANTS HANDLED, 1. the thing (somatic, intention, terminal, condition, doingness) the pc really wants handled. (HCOB 28 Mar 74) 2. a “wants to get rid of” not a “wants to achieve.” (HCOB 28 Mar 74)

WAR, 1. a means of bringing about a more amenable frame of mind on the part of the enemy. (SH Spec 63, 6506C08) 2. is the antipathies of organization. War is chaos. (SH Spec 131, 6204C03)

WASTE-HAVE, a person can’t have something. You can have him waste it enough and he’ll find out after a while, he’ll say “Well, I can have it.” (5702C26)

WATERLOO STATION, a process where, in a populated area (park, railroad station, etc.) you have the pc tell the auditor something he wouldn’t mind not-knowing about persons, or the persons not-knowing about him which auditor spots for him. (PAB 69)

WAVE, a path of flow or a pattern of flow. (PDC 18)

WAVE-LENGTH, the relative distance from node to node in any flow of energy. In the mest universe wave-length is commonly measured by centimeters or meters. (Scn 8-8008, p. 18)

WC (-ER) (-D) (-NG), word clear (-er) (-ed) (-ing). (BPL 5 Nov 72RA)

WCCL, Word Clearing Correction List. (BTB 11 Aug 72RA)

WDAHs, well done auditing hours. (FBDL 279)

WELL DONE, 1. “well done” given by the C/S for a session means the pc had VGIs at the examiner immediately after the session. (HCOB 21 Aug 70) 2. is only given to those where the session ran off like a clock exactly on standard tech. (Class VIII, No. 2)

WELL DONE AUDITING HOURS, 1. “well done auditing hours” is defined as number of auditing hours in the chair which are well done by C/S grading, with F/N, VGIs at end of session and examiner, to which can be added admin time up to and no higher than 10 per cent of the actual well done hours audited. (FO 3076) 2. well done hours are defined as those hours given a well done by the C/S-the session having concluded on F/N VGIs and the pc having F/N VGIs at the examiner immediately after the session, and no gross technical outnesses in the session. (HCO PL 23 Nov 71 II).

WELL DONE BY EXAMS, if the exam form F/Ned, but the admin is not okay and the session actions were not okay the C/S writes “well done by exam.” (HCOB 5 Mar 71)

WH (W/H), withhold. (HCOB 23 Aug 65)

WHAT QUESTION, the formulation of the what question is done as follows: the pc gives an overt in response to the zero question which does not clean the needle of the instant read on the zero. The auditor uses that overt to formulate his what question. Let us say the zero was “Have you ever stolen anything?” The pc says “I have stolen a car.” Testing the zero on the meter, the auditor says “I will check that on the meter: Have you ever stolen anything?” (He mentions nothing about cars, Heaven forbid!) If he still gets a read, the auditor says “I will formulate a broader question,” and says, to the meter, “What about stealing cars? What about stealing vehicles? What about stealing other people’s property?” the auditor gets the same zero question read on “What about stealing other people’s property?” So he writes this down on his report. Now as he has his question, the auditor sits up, looks at the pc and says, meaning it to be answered (but without accusation) “What about stealing other people’s property?” (HCOB 24 Jun 62 Prepchecking)

WHAT’S IT, v. a coined word, coming from the phrase, “What is it?” It basically means to ask a question. However, it has come to mean “to dwell on problems, confusions or uncertainties rather than to resolve them.”-n. 1. an unanswered question; a puzzlement about something. (Scn AD) 2. the rise of the TA is a “What’s it?” The pc’s groping (what’s it). The pc says “What’s it?” The auditor must begin to ask occasionally “Well, what’s it seem to you?” And the pc will find his own “It’s a . . .” and the TA will fall. (HCOB 4 Aug 63)

WHAT’S-IT LINE, 1. is from the auditor to the pc. And the auditor is saying what’s it. (SH Spec 291, 6308C06) 2. it’s called what’s it because those exact words raise the tone arm and the itsa line is called itsa because those exact words lower the TA. (SH Spec 294, 6308C14)

WHAT TO AUDIT, a book now called A History of Man and is a fragmentary account of the GE line. (PDC 9)

WHITE FLOW, a white flow is a moving flow and a black area is a stopped flow. And a black area is stopped because there’s a white flow around there somewhere ready to run. (5207CM24B)

WHITE FORM, PC Assessment Form (HCOB 23 Aug 71)

WHOLE TRACK, the whole track is the moment to moment record of a person’s existence in this universe in picture and impression form. (HCOB 9 Feb 66)

“WHY”, 1. that basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of statistics. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70) 2. the real reason found by the investigation. (HCO PL 29 Feb 72 II)

WIDE OPEN CASE, 1. a case that has pictures and everything and is impatient to get on with it but does not markedly alter the bank with thinking alone. (SCP, p. 9) 2. is possessed of full perception except somatic, which is probably light even to the point of anesthesia. Wide open does not refer to a high tone individual but to one below 2 .5 who should be easy to work but is often inaccessible and who finds it difficult to regain a somatic but simple to regain perception. (AP&A, p. 40) 3. your wide open case is somebody who has had all of his past shut off from him and is living in a demon circuit. That’s all that’s left of him is a demon circuit. (5206CM24F) 4. a tremendously heavily charged track brings the individual into a psychotic level. The inability of the mind to occlude and encyst charge gives us the strange picture of an individual who can move on the track and who can run through engrams and who has sonic and visio but who is psychotic. (SOS, p. 109)

WIDE ROCK SLAM, a quarter of a dial rock slam to a full dial rock slam. (HCOB 12 Sept 62)

WILDCAT, meaning springing up anywhere. (HCO PL 5 Oct 69)

WILLPOWER, in this mest universe it consists of the relative ability to impose time and space on energy or matter. That’s willpower and that’s self-determinism, and that is controlling people and people controlling you. (5209CM04B)

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

WINNING VALENCE, 1. is a synthetic valence. It is not actually the personality of the person who won. It is the individual’s mock-up of that person which is diminished, or augmented by other people’s opinions and by one’s own postulates. (PAB 83) 2. in the case of the woman beaten by her husband, the engram contains just two valences. Who won? The husband. Therefore it is the husband who will be dramatized. She didn’t win, she got hurt. When restimulators are present, the thing to do is to be the winner, the husband, to talk like him, to say what he did. Hence, when the woman is restimulated into this engram by some action she dramatizes the winning valence. (DMSMH, p. 81) 3. the valence of greatest determinism. (COHA, p. 99)

WINS, if a pc is getting wins then the pc gets more able, earns more or finds more wherewithal, and accomplishes more in a given period of time, leaving more time to use for auditing and the minor upsets or discomforts which accompany even the smoothest auditing are disregarded. (BCR, p. 17)

WITH A SESSION, is defined as “interested in own case and willing to talk to the auditor.” (HCOB 19 Aug 63)

WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS, the most wretched part of coming off hard drugs is the reaction called withdrawal symptoms. People go into convulsions. These are so severe that the addict becomes very afraid of them and so remains on drugs. The reaction can produce death. The theory is that withdrawal symptoms are muscular spasms. (HCOB 5 Nov 74)

WITHHELD COGNITION, see CUT COGNITION.

WITHHOLD, 1. a withhold is an unspoken, unannounced transgression against a moral code by which the person was bound. (SH Spec 62, 6110C04) 2. the unwillingness of the pc to talk to the auditor or tell him something. (SH Spec 108, 6202C01) 3. a withhold is something that a person believes that if it is revealed it will endanger their self-preservation. (SH Spec 113, 6202C20) 4. when the person should be reaching and is withdrawing that’s a withhold. (SH Spec 98, 6201C10) 5. a withhold is a withhold if it is a violation of the mores the pc has subscribed to and knows about. (SH Spec 75, 6111C02) 6. a withhold is something the pc did that he isn’t talking about. (SH Spec 206, 6211C01) 7. a withhold is what the pc is withholding and it does not have to include what the pc considers is a withhold. (SH Spec 98, 6201C10) 8. it is restraining self from communicating. (SH Spec 98, 6201C10) 9. is always the manifestation which comes after an overt. Any withhold comes after an overt. (SH Spec 181, 6208C07).

WITHHOLD OF OMISSION, he should be reaching and he is not and that’s just a withhold of omission. (SH Spec 98, 6201C10)

WITHHOLDS LONG DURATION, are spotted by a nattery, critical or hostile sort of life. The case would be anywhere from 2.2 on down to 1.0 on the tone scale. (LRH Def. Notes)

WITHHOLD SYSTEM, I have finally reduced clearing withholds to a rote formula which contains all the basic elements necessary to obtain a high case gain without missing any withholds. The system has five parts: (0) the difficulty being handled, (1) what the withhold is, (2) when the withhold occurred, (3) all of the withhold, (4) who should have known about it. (HCOB 12 Feb 62)

WITHHOLDY CASE, routinely ARC breaking and having to be patched up, commonly blows, has to have lots of hand-holding. (HCO PL 5 Apr 65 II)

WITHHOLDY PC, a pc who seems to have a lot of ARC breaks, the pc is a withholdy pc not an ARC breaky pc. Any auditor miss causes a pc blowup. If you call such a case that ARC breaks a lot a “withholdy pc that ARC breaks a lot” then you can solve the case, for all you have to do is work on withholds. (HCOB 4 Apr 65)

WITH SCIENTOLOGY, “interested in subject and getting it used.” (HCOB 19 Aug 63)

WOG, 1. worthy Oriental gentleman. This means a common ordinary run-of-the- mill garden-variety humanoid. (SH Spec 82, 6611C29) 2. a wog is somebody who isn’t even trying. (SH Spec 73, 6608C02)

WOOF AND WARP, (rug terms; weaving). [Consult your regular dictionary for full description.] (SH Spec 46, 6411C10)

WORD, 1. a symbolic sound code of the physical universe in action or in static and refers to nothing more than a condition or lack of condition of being of the physical universe. Words are all physical universe because they are designed to go on a physical universe system. (5203CM07A) 2. a word is a whole package of thought. (PRO 14, 5408C20) 3. words are only symbols which represent actions. (SA, p. 63) 4. words are sounds in syllabic form delivered with a definite timbre, pitch, and volume or sight recognition in each case. Words are a highly specialized form of audio-perceptics. The quality of the sound in uttering the word is nearly as important as the word itself. The written word belongs in part to visio-perceptics. (DTOT, p. 38)

WORD CLEARER, one who is qualified in and uses the technology of word clearing. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

WORD CLEARING (W/C), a technique for locating and handling ( clearing) misunderstood words. There are nine methods of word clearing. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

WORD CLEARING CORRECTION LIST (WCCL), used to handle any upsets or high or low TA occurring during or shortly after word clearing. Assessed M5 . EP is all reading items handled to F/N and pc again running well. (BTB 11 Aug 72RA)

WORD CLEARING METHOD ONE, 1. by meter in session. A full assessment of many, many subjects is done. The auditor then takes each reading subject and clears the chain back to earlier words and or words in earlier subjects until he gets an F/N. (HCOB 24 Jun 71) 2 . assess, take the reading items from the best read on down and with E/S pull each one to F/N. Get each word you find to F/N. There can be many F/Ns per subject. End off with a win on the subject. (HCOB 30 Jun 71RB II) 3. the action taken to clean up all misunderstoods in every subject one has studied. It is done by a word clearing auditor. The result of a properly done Method One word clearing is the recovery of one’s education. (Aud 87ASNO) Abbr. M1 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 2, 1. by meter in classroom. The earlier passage is read by the student while on a meter and the misunderstood word is found. Then it is fully defined by dictionary. The word is then used several times in sentences of the student’s own verbal composing. The misunderstood area is then reread until understood. (HCOB 24 Jun 71) 2. (M2) means word clearing Method 2 . A method of locating and handling misunderstood words, using a meter, in which the student reads aloud from written materials and each reading word cleared. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) 3. Method 2 is done with the pc reading the materials aloud and each reading word is taken to F/N before re-reading the relevant section and proceeding. (BTB 10 Oct 71R)Abbr.M2 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 3, 1. verbal in classroom. The student says he does not understand something. The supervisor has him look earlier in the text for a misunderstood word, gets the student to look it up, use it verbally several times in sentences of his own composition, then read the text that contained it. Then come forward in the text to the area of the subject he did not understand. (HCOB 24 Jun 71) 2. a method of word clearing used in the classroom where the misunderstood word is located and handled without the use of a meter. In the study materials M3 means only word clearing Method 3 . (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Abbr. M3 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 4, 1. Method 4 fishes for the misunderstood word, finds it, clears it to F/N, looks for another in the area until there are no more with an F/N VGIs. Then moves to another area, handles that, eventually all misunderstoods that resulted in the cramming order or non-F/N student are handled. (HCOB 22 Feb 72RA) 2. a method of word clearing in which a meter is used to rapidly locate any misunderstoods in a subject or section of materials. It is used in the classroom by the course supervisor. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Abbr. M4 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 5, a system wherein the word clearer feeds words to the person and has him define each. It is called material clearing. Those the person cannot define must be looked up. This method is the method used to clear words or auditing commands or auditing lists. (HCOB 21 Jun 72 I) Abbr. M5

WORD CLEARING METHOD 6, is called key word clearing. It is used on posts and specific subjects. The word clearer makes a list of key (or most important) words relating to the person’s duties or post or the new subject. The word clearer without showing the person the definitions, asks him to define each word. The word clearer checks the definition on his list for general correctness. Any slow or hesitancy or misdefinition is met with having the person look the word up. (HCOB 21 Jun 72 II) Abbr. M6 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 7, whenever one is working with children or foreign-language persons or semi-literates Method 7 Reading Aloud is used. The procedure is have him read aloud. Note each omission or word change or hesitation or frown as he reads and take it up at once. Correct it by looking it up for him or explaining it to him. (HCOB 21 Jun 72 III) Abbr. M7 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 8, is an action used in the Primary Rundown where one is studying study tech or where one is seeking a full grasp of a subject. Its end product is superliteracy. Usually an alphabetical list of every word or term in the text of a paper, a chapter or a recorded tape is available or provided. The person looks up each word on the alphabetical list and uses each in sentences until he has the meaning conceptually. (HCOB 21 Jun 72 IV) Abbr. M8 .

WORD CLEARING METHOD 9, the procedure is: (1) student or staff member reads the text out loud. He is not on the meter. (2) the word clearer has a copy of the text and reads along with the student silently. (3) if the student leaves out a word or stumbles or exhibits any physical or verbal manifestation while reading the text, the word clearer immediately asks for the misunderstood word or term and gets the meanings cleared with a dictionary and put into sentences until the word is understood and VGIs are present. (BTB 30 Jan 73RA II) Abbr. M9 .

WORD LIST, is simply a list of words taken from a body of data. A word list can be made for a tape lecture, a mimeo issue, a chapter of a book, etc. The word list contains all the words listed in alphabetical order. (BTB 6 Jan 74 III)

WORK, 1. work, in essence, is simply the handling of effort, the use of effort. (2ACC-30B, 5312CM21) 2. is admission of inability to play. (PDC 39)

WORKABILITY, the capability of starting, changing and stopping. And the degree of capability of starting, changing and stopping would demonstrate for this universe, workability. (PDC 19)

WORKSHEETS, a worksheet is supposed to be the complete running record of the session from beginning to end. (HCOB 7 May 69 VI) Abbr. W/S.

WORRIED, means he is unable to unbalance the balance between yes and no. (PDC 15) 

WORRY, 1. that’s “Was it yes?” “Was it no?” “Was it yes?” “Was it no?” (5112CM30B) 2. contradictory engram commands which cannot be computed. (DMSMH, p. 210)

WORSENED GRAPH, if the pc’s graph worsens, the only thing that can worsen a pc in auditing, so that his graph worsens, markedly in processing is an ARC break. (SH Spec 56, 6503C30)

WRAPPED AROUND A TELEGRAPH POLE, Slang. the pc who has been so poorly audited that “auditing” has created a charged up condition on the case or the individual is so restimulated in his environment that the same condition occurs. In both cases the charge which has been restimulated causes the person to get wrapped up in his case resulting in severe upset and dispersal. Taken from U.S. West where a tangled up man in a confused condition was likened to a person, horse or cow who had run into a telegraph pole and gotten wrapped around it. It infers the situation or person needs to be untangled and straightened out. (LRH Def. Notes)

WRONG, that which was minimal survival for the minimal number, for the maximal number of dynamics, whichever way you want to look at it, was wrong. (PDC 15)

WRONGNESS, always miscalculation of effort. (Scn 0-8, p. 74)

WRONG SOURCE, in the R2-12 steps opposing a wrong item. (HCOB 3 Jan 63)

WRONG WAY, in Routine 2, listing the wrong way (using the wrong question) you get an endless list that never completes and won’t null. You have only two list questions to use in opposing a reliable item. These are “Who or what would oppose a . . . ?” and “Who or what would a . . . oppose?” For every reliable item there is only one of the above that is right. The other is wrong. If it happens that you start listing the wrong way this is because you failed to find out correctly if the RI you were about to list an opposition list to was a terminal (pain) or an opposition terminal (sensation). The pc said he had sensation but actually felt pain. (HCOB 3 Jan 63) WRONG WAY OPPOSE, in Routine 2 listing having the wording reversed such as “Who or what would oppose a catfish?” As different from “Who or what would a catfish oppose?” A wrong way oppose list is of course “wrong source” as one is using “catfish” as a terminal instead of “catfish” as an oppterm or vice versa.

WRONG WHY, the incorrectly identified outness which when applied does not lead to recovery. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II)

W/S, worksheet. (BTB 6 Nov 72R VII)

W.S.U., withdrawal, stop, unmock. (Class VIII, No. 19)


X.

X , 1 . it doesn’t mean this didn’t RS, it doesn’t mean this didn’t RR, it means this does not produce any reaction of any kind on the meter. (SH Spec 255, 6304C04) 2 . didn’t read. (HCOB 29 Apr 69) 3. experimental. (SH Spec 235, 6302C07)

X 1 , code number of a process. (BTB 20 Aug 71R II)

X 2 , code number of a process. (BTB 20 Aug 71R II)


Y.


YELLOW SHEET, a sheet detailing each correction list or set of commands which have been word cleared. It also lists the pc’s current havingness process and the type of cans the pc uses. (BTB 3 Nov 72R)

YELLOW TAB, a C/S must put a yellow tab marked PTS on a PTS pc folder that stays on until the person is no longer PTS. (HCOB 17 Apr 72)


Z.

ZERO, the proper and correct definition of zero would be: “something which had no mass, which had no wave-length, which had no location in space, which had no position or relationship in time. Something without mass, meaning or mobility. (Dn 55! p. 28)

ZERO, zero on the tone scale is equivalent to death. An individual with a zero tone would be dead. (DTOT, p. 59)

ZERO “written (O)”, denotes an item which simply has the requirement of you reading, understanding and attesting in the space opposite the item, on the checksheet. Your initials in the space provided indicate that you have read, understood and can apply the data concerned. (HCO PL 13 Apr 71)

ZERO A & ZERO B QUESTIONS, prepchecking. When you obtain a generality early on after the zero question, you make it a zero A. One asks the zero A, “Have you ever disconcerted your mother?” The needle reacts. The auditor fishes around for a specific other incident. Finally gets, “I used to lie to her.” So the auditor writes a zero B, “Have you ever lied to your mother?” And then nags away at the pc until a specific time is recovered. When the zero B is clean, ask the zero A. (HCOB 21 Mar 62)

ZERO QUESTION, in prepchecking (prepclearing) one uses the whole subject to be cleared as the zero question. (HCOB 1 Mar 62) See SEC CHECK FORMS, these are zero questions. (HCOB 24 Jun 62)

ZERO RATE, material which is only checked out on the basis of general understanding. (HCOB 21 Sept 70)

ZERO RATING (O-RATING), 1. passed by proof of having read or listened to the material (such as notes or a general verbal statement of the subject which assures the theory examiner that the material has been covered). (HCO PL 15 Mar 63) 2. read and listen to the data and understanding of. (HCO PL 26 Jan 72 V)

ZOMBIE, an electric shock or neuro-surgical case. (DMSMH, p. 286)
