A
ABBREVIATED BOOKKEEPING, the term abbreviated bookkeeping has
been used to mean bookkeeping which by-passed and ignored the use
of personal accounts. In other words, the double entry is effected
by entries made directly between the organization's bank account
and another impersonal account of the organization. (BPL 14 Nov 70

ABERRATED CONDITION, mental mass accumulates in a vast complexity
solely because one would not confront something. To take apart a
problem requires only to establish what one could not or would not
confront. When no-confront enters, a chain may be set up which
leads to total complexity and total unreality This, in a very
complex form, we call an aberrated condition. People like that
can't solve even rudimentary problems and act in an aimless and
confused way. To resolve their troubles requires more than
education or discipline. It requires processing. Some people are so
"complex" that their full aberration does fully not resolve until
they attain a high level of OT. (HCO PL 18 Sept 67)
ABERRATION, 1. by definition "a crooked line." It is from the
Latin aberratio, "a wandering from," and from the Latin errare, to
wander or to err. A sane person thinks, looks and sees in straight
lines. Black is black, white is white. The aberrated person looks
toward black and wanders off to his gaze to something else and
makes the error of saying it is "grey" You can consider aberration
in a passive way (supinely, of no force or action). A person is
sane or not sane. He thinks straight or crookedly. Now consider
aberration in a forceful way. A person looks, then an opposing
force to him pushes aside his gaze or distracts it. But the really
sane, forceful person looks right on through and past the
opposition and sees what is there anyway. (HCOB 19 Aug 67) 2. the
number of out-points the guy is carrying around in his skull is how
aberrated he is That has very little to do with his sanity. It has
everything to do with his competence. (ESTO 10, 7203C05 SO II) 3.
aberration is just the basis of out-points. (ESTO 4, 7203C02 SO II)
4. a chain of vias based on a primary non-confront. (HCO PL 18 Sept
67) 5. aberration is non-straight line by definition. (HCOB 5 Dec
73)
AB FACTOR, we don't wholly guarantee you and your co-auditor that
you will co-audit in the Level VI co-audit for one team member may
be case type A and the other B. A case type A can run through
anything. A case type B stops at a comma. Thus one gets too far out
of pace with the other and it's just too hard on one member of the
team who would be, of course, the type B and already in
1
trouble. It would be selfish indeed of a type A to force a type B
to run GPMs far beyond where he or she has had them run. We will
try to put the team together in the Level VI co-audit and mostly do
but this AB factor is a technical one and we can't do anything
about it short of good auditing. (HCO PL 11 Jun 64) [See PC TYPE A,
PC TYPE B in Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary.]
ABILITY, 1. the ability to complete a cycle of action, to handle
the matter so it does not have to be handled again. (HCO PL 22 Feb

ability to raise statistics and produce the product of the
particular post. (BPL 4 Jul 69R V)
ABILITY MAGAZINE, Ability magazine should be issued semi-monthly.
Issues shall be used broadly as mailing pieces and are not to go

month shall be an Ability major issue, the second issue of the
month shall be an Ability minor issue. Ability major: shall consist
of informative technical material, advertisements and programs.
Ability minor: shall be dedicated only to programs such as
extension course, such as training, such as processing results.
Ability major is mainly of interest to the membership and informed
Scientologists. Ability minor shall he of interest to the broad
public. (HCO PL 24 Oct 58, Ability Magazine) [Ability is published
by the Church of Scientology Washington D.C.]

headed by the Director of Training, the academy is responsible for
the technical excellence of Scn practice tomorrow. Precise
scheduling, crisp training and true, direct answers to the
students' questions make an academy. A bad academy results in a bad
HGC tomorrow as many graduates become staff auditors. A good

ACCEPTING AN ALMOST, example: a messenger accepting the almost of
turning down the heat. The order was to turn it off. An executive
or communicator or messenger who accepts and forwards an almost is
permitting dev-t. Orders given are to be executed and reported
done, not to be nearly done or almost done A communicator can often
be tripped up by this form of dev-t. It is most easily spotted by
insisting that the original order or orders be returned with the
compliance so that any terminal on the line can tell at a glance
what was ordered, and what was done. (BPL 30 Jan 69)

Secretary in an org to pick up and trace the course of every
particle of money through the entire organization, from the time it
enters through the mail or with a customer, until it exits from the
org as a disbursement or a reserve action. That is quite a job, and
it is the most important job a Treasury Secretary has got. It sums
up the purpose of the post. It is called accounts policing. To
police something means "to control, regulate, keep in order,
administer." The anatomy of accounts policing is: (1) policing
income to ensure that the org is collecting the income from the
services that it delivers, and that all org income is channelled
into treasury and into the bank without delays. (2) policing
disbursements to ensure that financial planning occurs and that
only monies which are so designated and authorized are allocated
out of the org accounts. (3) policing reserves to ensure that the
org never spends more than it makes, and that it builds up
substantial reserves through excellent control of its income-outgo
flows (BPL 1 Feb 72 I)
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, accounts which show money owed by a customer
to the company. Depending on the collectibility of these accounts
receivable, they may be acceptable as collateral for a loan or sold

the debts thus collected.
ACCOUNTS RECORDS, any and all items that may be considered to be
accounts records meaning: bills, cancelled checks, invoices,
receipts, chits, lists, record books, and any other item that may
be considered by you to have to do with accounts. (HCO PL 25 Sept
59)
ACCOUNTS SYSTEM, a Scn accounts system is simple. It works. It
consists of writing an invoice on a four-copy machine for
everything received and a disbursement voucher on a four-copy
disbursement machine for everything expended, even petty cash, with
a completed statement of what Accounts knows of the expenditure.
The system consists of four files-one with a file for every
creditor, one with a file for every debtor, one with a complete
file for every bank account and one with a file for every weekly
breakdown envelope. A board with nails on it for pinning up
invoices for every category on the breakdown sheet and a book to
put income sheets in plus an adding machine and cabinets completes
the entire system. (HCO PL 20 Dec 62)

ACK, 1. a despatch thanking the person (for the report) with the
report and date of it and some mention of what was to it so he
isn't left in mystery as to which one or what it was. (CBO 348R) 2.
the first answer to a telex origination may add data which requires
a third telex in the cycle. This would be sent by the originator to
get done or find out whatever more is needed. This similarly
requires a speedy answer. If the originator is now satisfied and
has gotten the needed information or compliance desired, he sends
the ack, which ends the comm cycle. That "ack" indicates that the
reply was received and thus ends the telex comm cycle. (This takes
the place of the nod or smile at the end of the face-to-face comm
cycle described in chapter ten of Dianetics '55.) (BPL 12 Jun 73R
II) 3. this word ends a comm cycle. It is the best way to end a
telex comm cycle. It is the final telex on that cycle. (BPL 8 Apr
73 I) 4. the acknowledged yellow copy of a communication. (HTLTAE,
p. 117) -v. to acknowledge. To stamp "ack" and initial. (HTLTAE, p.
117)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, something said or done to inform another that
his statement or action has been noted, understood and received.
"Very good," "okay," and other such phrases are intended to inform
another who has spoken or acted that his statement or action has
been accepted. An acknowledgement also tends to confirm that the
statement has been made or the action has been done and so brings
about a condition not only of communication but of reality between
two or more people. Applause at a theater is an acknowledgement of
the actor or act plus approval. Acknowledgement itself does not
necessarily imply an approval or disapproval or any other thing
beyond the knowledge that an action or statement has been observed
and is received. In signaling with the morse code the receiver of a
message transmits an R to the sender as a signal that the message
has been received, which is to say acknowledged. There is such a
thing as over-acknowledgement and there is such a thing as
under-acknowledgement. A correct and exact acknowledgement
communicates to someone who has spoken that what he has said has
been heard. An acknowledgement tends to terminate or end the cycle
of a communication, and when expertly used can sometimes stop a
continued statement or continued action. An acknowledgement is also
part of the communication formula and is one of its steps. The
Scientologist, sometimes, in using Scientologese abbreviates this
to "ack"; he jacked" the person. (LRH Def. Notes) Abbr. Ack.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OFFICER, you have an Acknowledgement Officer who
is doing acknowledgements of standard reports coming in. He just
plain acks them. (BPL 9 Apr 73 II)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REPORT, a staff member who does some action which
is above the can of duty of his or her post hat may write an
acknowledgement report on himself detailing what it was he did and
how it benefited the org. This is sent to Division 1 for filing in
his or her personnel file. In reviewing staff for promotion, such
self acknowledgements are taken into account in assessing the staff
member's responsibility level, along with other data and
statistics. (HCO PL 11 Nov 66) [The above HCO PL has been cancelled
by BPL 10 Oct 75 IV.]
ACQUIRE, to gain possession, ownership or power over something as

ACQUISITION, 1. the act of gaining possession, ownership or power
over something as an acquiring of funds or property. 2. the thing
so gained or acquired.
ACTAD, 1. action addressee, the person to whom the communication
goes for action. (HTLTAE p. 117) 2. the acted message has four
copies, each of which is under the eye of some individual and each
of which is demanding that the message be acknowledged and
completed. (HTLTAE p. 83)
ACTING, 1. a prefix to a title meaning appointed conditionally
and if shows good statistics for a year will become of permanent
title. (HCO PL 13 Mar 66) 2. if it is appointed from Saint Hill why
then that becomes an acting, which is the first rank, and for a
while the post is held under an acting status and then is held in a
full status. The acting is simply removed. (SH Spec 61, 6505C18) 3.
acting is prefixed to a title until checksheets are passed. (FO 79)
4. where other posts are held without qualification above the
rating of able bodied seaman or engineman first class the word
acting will always be used in writing title and name and these may
not be written or used without acting before them, or the letter
"A." (LRH Def. Notes circa Aug 67)
ACTING ETHICS OFFICER, any Ethics Officer is to be known only as
Acting Ethics Officer until he or she has covered the OEC section
on ethics and has proven competent on post. (LRH ED 39 INT)
ACTING FLAG OFFICER, there is always an Acting Flag Officer. It
may be the Commodore, which is signed simply "Commodore," or in his
absence it may be one of his deputies. The title Acting Flag
Officer means that for that time, he is head of the flotilla, the
ships' senior officers and crews wherever they may be, and all
connected organizations. (FO 3342)
ACTION, Action Bureau. (7012C04)
ACTION, 1. that motion which makes planning an actuality. 2. the
carrying out of assigned tasks.
ACTION AFFLUENCE, the formula for action affluence is: (1)
economize on needless or dispersed actions that did not contribute
to the present condition. Economize financially by knocking off all
waste. (2) make every action count and don't engage in any useless
actions. Every new action to contribute and be of the same kind as
did contribute. (3) consolidate all gains. Any place we have gotten
a gain, we keep it; don't let things relax or go downhill or
roller-coaster. Any advantage or gain we have, keep it, maintain
it. (4) discover for yourself what caused the condition of
affluence in your immediate area and strengthen it. (LRH Def.
Notes)
ACTION BUREAU, 1. where an org is in trouble (stats down) the
Action Bureau Flag takes it over. Based on searching and accurate
evaluation, mission orders are written to correct the out. points
and get the stats up and the org viable. If it is a major situation
in a major org the mission goes from Flag to the org. The mission
is operated by
7
Flag Action. (FBDL 191R) 2. evaluates the extreme condition and
establishes the why or decides on special investigation, writes up
appropriate mission orders for another Liaison bureau to run or
briefs and sends, via the Comm Bureau, missionaires, and keeps
after the matter until the extreme condition up is understood and
published for use or the extreme condition down is gotten back up.
(CBO 7) 3. is responsible for the speed and quality of the mission
and for operating it while it is out. All missions, immediate,
courier, emergency, garrison, go through Action. (FO 2756) 4. the
basic purpose of Action is planning and emergencies. When all else
fails you have to sent it to the Action Bureau. Somebody isn't
complying with your orders and so forth and your orders being valid
orders would have to be implemented by a mission. That's how we
force the thing home. (7012C04) 5. Operations. Called the Action
Bureau on Flag, they run missions into orgs to handle extreme
conditions and to do special projects for clients. Any special
service a client might need is handled by them expertly and
flawlessly. They must have a pool of management experts to draw
from who are fully trained in Flag mission tech. They operate
strictly by Sea Org mission procedure. If need be, they can call on
org staff who are qualified to go on missions. They have priority.
Missions are sent by approved ovals only. There is a complete and
highly refined technology of mission operation in the Sea Org. (BPL
13 Feb 73R) 6. FOLO Action Bureau selects missionaires from MU,
prepares, briefs, fires Flag missions, sends preparations file via
External Comm Bureau to Flag and gets missionaires trained and
controls the missionaire unit. (CBO 192) 7. the Sea Org Action
Bureau is established in the Office of LRH Flag. It is headed by
the Chief of Sea Org Operations. It consists of: Evaluation Branch,
Action Orders Branch, Operations Branch. It is clearly the purpose
of an Admin Unit to collect, file and compile, post and organize
data. And it is clearly the function of the Action Bureau to find
the situations in that data that urgently need handling, to demand
action a d obtain a proposal from the Action Orders Branch that can
be passed at an aides or assistant aides conference and the Flag
Org or continental commanding officer that can then be written up
and launched as a mission. (FO 2474) 8. consists of Evaluation
Branch, Planning Branch, Mission Preparations Branch and Operations
Branch. (CBO 18) 9. Action has planning, briefing, operations.
(FBDL 12)
ACTION FILES, it is possible, through a communications system, to
organize files so that they are action files, so that they are the
memory of a mind which thinks. A file should have three sections:
8
(1) the action fee, which holds a datum that calls for action at a
certain time, and injects it back into the system at the proper
moment, (2) working files, which hold the information that is
valuable to the operation, (3) dead files, which could be junked
without any loss of value to the operation. (HTLTAE, p. 64)
ACTION SKILL, the ability to take the right action to handle a
situation.
ACTIVE, 1. engaging in Scn full or part time in an org, forming
org, city office, franchise or individually in the field (LRH ED

ACTUALS, commodities or products traded on a market (i.e. spot
market) that one can take delivery of immediately as opposed to
futures markets where a commodity becomes available in the future.
ADDED INAPPLICABLE DATA, just plain added data does not
necessarily constitute an out-point It may be someone being
thorough. But when the data is in no way applicable to the scene or
situation and is added it is a definite out-point In using this
out-point be very sure you also understand the word inapplicable
and see that it is only an out-point if the data itself does not
apply to the subject at hand. (HCO PL 30 Sept 73 I)
ADDED TIME, in this out-point we have the reverse of dropped
time. In added time we have, as the most common example, something
taking longer than it possibly could. (HCO PL 30 Sept 73 I) Added
Time
ADDED VALUE, increase in value of an item by reason of production

ADDRESS-IN-CHARGE, under Addressing Charge, the up-to-date
addresses of all persons in the live and inactive files of CF are
kept readily useable on a proper address macho e. All mailing and
mail functions of the organization properly come under
Address-in-Charge. This is external mailings. The Internal dispatch

safekeeping. (HCO PL 20 Dec 62)
ADDRESSOGRAPH, 1. the card file system of central files, and
addresso plates are tabbed and reflect CF exactly without further
card files. Addresso gives letter reg card files from the addresso
plates. (HCO PL 12 Jan 62) 2. addresso is the name-status index of
central Ides. The address files contain, ready for use in mailings,
all the names in central files and ready reference designations
about these people. The addresses are normally stored in some sort
of addressing equipment. Addresso plates are tabbed in such a way
that they reflect CF exactly. As a person's grade or training level
increases the tabbing is changed to reflect this. Copies of all
invoices are routed via reception and addresso to CF so that
addresses can be kept up to date and accurate. Copies of training
and processing certificates are sent via addresso to CF so that the
tabbing is updated. (BPL 17 May 69R) Abbr. Addresso.
ADDRESSOGRAPH MACHINE, a machine which prints addresses on mail.
It uses little stencils, each of which has a desired address typed
on it. It feeds these stencils and the mail through it so that each
piece of mail gets neatly addressed with a different address.
ADDRESS SECTION, section in Department 2, Department of
Communications. Address section handles all address actions and
equipment, keeps address files. (HCO PL 17 Jan 66 II)
ADDRESS UNKNOWN, if a person's address is unknown, his plate

Correction Division or the Adjustment Division. But Qualifications
would also serve. (SH Spec 77, 6608C23)
ADMIN CHECKLIST, the head of an org or portion of an org is
directly responsible for all admin functions and actions in that
org or its portion. The head of an org (or the HCOBS where there is
no Commanding Officer) must have routinely (at least weekly)
submitted to him a checklist of all admin functions in that org
showing their state. This checklist is to contain every basic
action of admin in that org such as finance summaries to (date),
payroll, bills files, tax summaries, OF files, OIC graphs,
addresses, FSM commission files, FSM commissions etc. Anything
administrative that has to be worked on and kept up must be on that
checklist. (FO 2236)
ADMIN CYCLE, the correct sequence is: (1) have a normal
information flow available, (2) observe, (3) when a bad indicator
is seen become very alert, (4) do a data analysis, (5) do a
situation analysis, (6) obtain more data by direct inspection of
the area indicated by the situation analysis, (7) handle. (HCO PL
15 May 70 II, Data Series No. 5, Information Collection)
ADMIN CYCLE DRILL, (1) study and grasp the Data Series PLs. (2)
study out the ideal scene for your post, section, department and
division. (3) work a stat for post, section, department and
division. (4) work out the ideal scene for your org
10
or ship or activity and its stat. (5) work out the ideal scene for
the whole SO. (6) work out the stat for the whole SO. (7) work out
how your post ideal scene contributes to the whole SO. If not
refine your own ideal scene. (8) work out how your stat expresses
your own ideal scene. To do this requires a lot of data to be dug
up. But when you finish it you really got it. (FO 2584)
ADMIN DUTIES, when one says adjoin duties one refers to the org
functions. There is a great deal of Admin Org actions for a ship's
officer - personnel, personnel control, conferences, FP, con or OOD
in port, org boards, hats, checksheets and packs for division
personnel - a lot of purely org duties that prevent a technical
officer from doing his job. We put a Deputy Fourth Mate to take
care of the org duties of Qual. This has worked out at least to
permit the Fourth Mate to C/S and run the technical aspects of the
product of the division. (FO 2660)
ADMINISTER, "to have charge of; direct: manage." It is taken from
the Latin administrate, to be an aid to: ad-, to + ministrare, to

ADMINISTRATION, 1. (admin) A contraction or shortening of the
word administration, admin is used as a noun to denote the actions
involved in administering an organization. The clerical and
executive decisions, actions and duties necessary to the running of
an organization, such as originating and answering mail, typing,
filing, dispatching, applying policy and all those actions, large
and small, which make up an organization. You will also see the
word Drain in connection with the three musts of a well run
organization. It is said that its ethics, tech and admin must he
"in," which means they must be properly done, orderly and
effective. The word derives from minister, which means to serve.
Administer means to manage, govern, to apply or direct the
application of laws, or discipline, to conduct or execute religious

TRs 0-4 (4) people bull-bait TRs 0-4 (5) reach and withdraw most
(6) reach and withdraw people. The dynamics they cover are 3
(groups) and 6 (physical universe). The purpose of these TRs is to
train the student to get compliance with, and complete a cycle of
action on administrative actions and orders, in spite of the
randomities, confusions, justifications, excuses, traps and
insanities of the third and sixth dynamics, and to confront such

staff members and to get the job done. (FO 2982)
ADMINISTRATOR, 1. one who can make things happen at the other end
of a communication line which result in discovered data or handled
situations. A very good administrator can get things handled over a
very long distance. A mediumly skilled administrator has a shorter
reach. As this scale declines we get people who can make things
happen only at arm's length. A skilled administrator therefore can
be defined as one who can establish and maintain communication
lines and can thereby discover, handle and improve situations and
conditions at a distance. (HCO PL 15 Oct 73) 2. an auditor on the
third dynamic, only he audits lots of people at the same time. (EO

This scale is worked up and worked down until it is (each item) in
full agreement with the remaining items. In short, for success all
these items in the scale must agree with all other items in the
scale on the same subject. (HCO PL 6 Dec 70) See SCALE OF
IMPORTANCE.
ADMIN TRAINING CORPS, 1. purpose: to build strong teams of
administrative executives for the Sea Org to take it to new heights

ADMIN UNIT, 1. the Admin Unit and CIC are now the Data Bureau.
(OODs 15 Aug 70) 2. it is clearly the purpose of an Admin Unit to
collect, file and compile, post and organize data. (FO 2474) 3. the
"office" or Admin Unit heretofore placed under CS-7 (then CS-9) is
now an autonomous unit under the Staff Captain called the Flag
Executive Office Unit and the person in charge is the Flag
Executive Office Manager. (FO 2381) 4. a person assigned to the
Office Manager is an expediter. The Officer Manager plus expediters
plus Flag Org internal actions makes up the Admin Unit. Every duty
in the Admin Unit is assigned by functions, not hats. These
functions are written up as to how they are done. They are such
things as address, posting graphs, briefing, debriefing, mission
files, CIC traffic boards, etc. (FO 2379) 5. composed of ad
clerical and operational personnel. CIC is kept up by the Admin
Unit. (FO 2439)
ADMIN UNIT SPECIALIST, a person entering the Admin Unit
automatically becomes an expediter and will remain so until trained
up on the following functions: stats, posting and pinning, mail
logging in and out, CIC filing. excerpting, handling of requests
from LRH and aides. When the above training is completed the
expediter is qualified as an Admin Unit specialist. (FO 2493)

Clearing and OT Courses. (FO 1151) 4. Advanced Organizations deal
in the upper levels of OT. They are staffed with Sea Org members.
They have direct lines to Flag. (FO 1604) Abbr. AO.
ADVANCE ENROLLMENT REGISTRATION, deals in future business, and is
a function of the Advance Scheduling Registrar. The game with
future business is to: (1) get the advance scheduling book evenly
filled up, and (2) then more full, and (3) to concentrate on
persons advance scheduled, keeping them hot, encouraging advance
payments, helping them overcome stops, etc., and driving them into
the org for service, (4) then keeping Tech advised of what's in the
book from week to week and what its future is, (5) and rescheduling
those persons who don't arrive on then scheduled date. (HCO PL 28

ADVANCE PAYMENT, 1. payment well in advance - not for service to
be taken "tomorrow" or "in a few days." (HCO PL 29 May 70) [The
above HCO PL was replaced by BPL 29 May 70j 2. prepayments replaces
the term advance pay" meats. (HCO PL 15 Jan 72RA) Abbr. AP.
ADVANCE PAYMENT RECEIVED, payment received by an AO (or QTL or
ship) from a student in advance of the time when he we use the
service. Any payment which results in the student having unused
credit in his account can be considered an advance payment, whether
the student qualifies for a 5% discount or not. For the 5% discount
to apply, the student makes his payment well in advance of using
the service, usually prior to his arrival at the org. (FO 1828)
ADVANCE PAYMENT REPORT, the Income Department (Director of
Income) must fill in the advance payment report each week. This
report is compiled by taking the total amount of APs unused, adding
the APs received this week and minusing the amount of the APs used
this week. This will show you the total amount of APs you have
unused each week. (HCO PL 26 Nov 65R)
ADVANCE PAYMENT USED, 1. the statistic of the Advance Scheduling
Registrar is: total amount of advance payments used for the week.
The definition of advance payment used is the total of the week's
debit (APU) invoices written against previous advance payments.
(Refunds on AP do not count as APUs for stat purposes.) (HCO PL 15
Sept 71 I) 2. any use of services or items (such as bookstore)
against existing credit, i.e., for which the student has paid
previously. The exact value of that individual service, based on
what the student paid for it, is the advance payment used. As an
example, a student having paid for OT 1-3 as a package, now begins
OT 1. The cashier writes a debit invoice for the value of OT 1, at
a prorated price consistent with the package price paid by the
student. Thus (debit invoice) amount then becomes an advance
payment used and is marked as such on the debit invoice. Where and
when the student's previous payment was made is not important -
except that the payment must have been received eventually by the
Sea Org at one of its AOs, bases or ships before the payment can be
considered received or used. (FO 1328) 3. APU - this is written on
the invoice when the student starts a service for which he has
already paid the advanced
13
payment. (FO 2988) Abbr. APU. See PREPAYMENT.
ADVANCE PAYMENT USED FCCI, (Flag) the amount of money used that
week from past FCCI payments on account for future processing. This
is part of the delivery sum. (FSO 667RC)
ADVANCE PAYMENT USED PUBLIC STUDENT, (Flag) the value of AP used
by public students whose training is being paid for by themselves
and is validly part of delivery sum only on a completion. Org
future promises then paid off by orgs do not count as this is a
form of student freeloaderism. (FSO 667RC)
ADVANCE REGISTRATION PACK, each org has an advance registration
pack. Combined AO-SH orgs have a reg pack for AO services and a
separate reg pack for SH services. Advanced registration packs are
mated out to persons in OF who have expressed a want to be trained
and/or processed. The packs even include filled out sign-up forms
for the person's signature and give the person the opportunity to
pay for his service in advance or at least make a reservation
payment (BPL 20 May 72R)
ADVANCE RESERVATION BOOK, this book (also called the book of
letter scheduling) is a date-order reference of what people are due
to arrive when. (HCO PL 18 Feb 73 I)
ADVANCE RESERVATIONS RECORDS I/C, mainly concentrates on those
people who have made a decision i.e., to come to Saint Hill. Her
function is giving information and encouraging the person in all
possible ways to get here fast fast fast Not to be found by their
schedule date, as this gives a stuck point in time which is a lie.
We want them here now. This terminal pushes, pressures, shoves and
gets them here. At this stage the whole concentration is on getting
them to enroll. It is also to be understood that this unit totally
concentrates on the upstat person. This differs from the Letter
Registrar who is weeding out the able from the less able. When an
individual has said he is coming, and is eligible for SH, he is
then entirely in the hands of the Advance Reservations Records I/C.
The Advance Reservations Records I/C mainly concentrates on those
people who are coming within six weeks to four months ahead.
Advance Reservations Records I/C continues writing to people and
calling them in, even after they have enrolled. (HCO PL 29 Nov 68)
ADVANCE SCHEDULING REGISTRAR, the prime purpose of the Advance
Scheduling
14
Registrar is: to help LRH schedule and secure individuals by mad in
advance for technical services and ensure the future prosperity of
the organization. The Advance Scheduling Registrar keeps two large
heavy books. One is for students: one for preclears. It is laid out
one page per week two years in advance. He receives letters from
the letter registrar that are hot prospects and schedules the
person promptly and informs him asking for any correction of date.
As individuals are scheduled their names and addresses are entered
in the book for the week they are arriving. This registrar uses
also prepared registration packets which even include sign-up forms
and give the opportunity to pay for the service in advance, or at
least, make a reservation payment in advance. (HCO PL 21 Sept 65

ADVISOR, the executive secretaries have one Advisor for each of
his or her divisions who operate as liaison officers. An Advisor
has the rank of officer. The Advisor advises the executive
secretary not the division he is in liaison with and issues no
orders with his own authority and uses only the authority of the
executive secretary even in conversation or letters. He must be
given express orders to issue by the executive secretary even
though he in fact writes them. An Advisor is really an aide to the
executive secretary for the division he is appointed to advise
upon. The Advisor is there to lighten the executive secretary's
burden in all possible ways as they relate to the area of
responsibility for which the Advisor is named. The executive
secretary usually seeks the advice of an Advisor before handling a
situation in that Advisor's type of division but is in no way bound
to take it, whereas the Advisor is bound to issue and get executed
any orders expressly given by the executive secretary. (HCO PL 20
Jan 66 II)

executive secretary is changed to "(HCO or Org) Exec Sec
Communicator for (division represented)." (HCO PL 21 Jan 66)

or transfers or dismissals. (HCO PL 11 Jan 66) 2. an Advisory
Committee exists for each division in the org (seven) and is
advisory to the Ad Council and is appointed by the Ad Council of
the org and consists of the secretary of the division and the three
directors (heads of departments) or in an Executive Division, the
three office coordinators of the three executive division offices,
who are the same as directors but have a different title. (HCO PL
13 Mar 66) 3. there will be one Adcomm for each division except
Division 7. It will be composed of the three directors of the
division or their representatives, and chairmanned by the secretary
of the division or his or her representative. The Divisional Adcomm
has ready the statistics of the division and takes these up in an
effort to improve them. The entire purpose of the Adcomm is to
arrange to improve statistics for its departments, sections and
units. The period taken up is the week closed on Thursday. (HCO PL
12 Aug 65) 4. Advisory Councils are senior to Advisory Committees.
An Adcouncil runs the whole org, an Adcomm runs only one of its

ADVISORY CONFERENCE, a group meeting at which new or altered
policy or plans of action are suggested or advised for use but
which does not necessarily formulate definite recommendations.
ADVISORY COUNCIL, 1. the income of the org and its delivery is
the primary business of an Advisory Coal ad. When it has
accomplished its business in this it may then consider the
limitation of expenditures. The Advisory Council planning is
expressed in an executive directive drawn up for executive council
approval. This usually covers the
16
coming week but may also take up longer range planning. Advisory
Council collects up all divisional FP submissions, sees to it that
those things necessary to execute its planning have been FPed for,
sees that at least 15% of the allocation is allotted to promotion
and that there are adequate promo items to utilize this 15% without
waste. This is the extent of Advisory Council in financial
planning. The divisional FP submissions and the completed checklist
with Advisory Council proposals and all work papers are then
forwarded to executive conned for approval. (HCO PL 23 Jun 75) 2.
does income and delivery planning. (HCO PL 23 Jun 75) 3. the
Advisory Council of an organization shall be composed of the beads
of divisions and various representatives, duly elected, of field
auditors, students, preclears and public bodies and representatives
of subordinate organizations and a representative of the senior
organization or, in ease of the highest Advisory Council, a
representative of the senior officer of Scn and the Board.
Executive secretaries may not be members of the Advisory Council.
All representatives of an Advisory Council must be elected to it by
a majority vote of the Advisory Council and the appointment
confirmed by the two executive secretaries, on submission of the
results of election by the Secretary of the Advisory Couned.
Exception: heads of divisions are automatically appointed to the
Advisory Council. The Advisory Council purpose is: to advise the
executive secretaries or executive council as to required
directives and policies and to implement directives and policy for
approval and to examine statistics and conditions and implement
remedies or intensification for approval and to originate and
recommend for approval promotion ideas. (HCO PL 21 Dec 66 I) 4.
Advisory Councils are senior to Advisory Committees. An Adcouncil
runs the whole org, an Adcomm runs only one of its divisions.
Advisory Councils are advisory to the Board of Directors or the
Executive Director or the Guardian and have no other powers. They
cannot open or close bank accounts or change corporate status. They
are appointed by a senior Adcouncil or the Executive Director or
the Guardian. An Adcouncil consists of the two executive
secretaries of an organization and the Executive Director. (HCO PL
13 Mar 66) 5. it is composed of the HCO Executive Secretary and the
Organization Executive Secretary and is understood to include LRH.
Receiving all Adcomm statistics, the Advisory Council determines
the states of conditions of the organization, each division or
separate departments, and publishes the states assigned as from the
Office of LRH. The Advisory Council does all minor planning and
adjustments necessary as an executive admin letter, local. Should
large changes be envisioned,
17
the change must be authorized by LRH also and is issued as a SEC ED
from Saint Hill. (HCO PL 12 Aug 65) 6. at WW, the prime concern of
the Advisory Council is the competence of executive secretaries of
other organizations in keeping their divisions going well. In Area
Orgs the concern of the Advisory Council is the competence of
divisional secretaries, in keeping their divisions going well All
actions are taken only on statistics. (HCO PL 21 Jan 66) 7. handles
the gross divisional statistics, looking for steep ups (to assign
affluence) or steep downs (to assign emergency). (HCO PL 30 Sept

subject to supervision by a further governing authority. (HCO PL 1
Nov 66 II) 11. purpose: to advise the executives of the
organization as to needed changes and policies. To act as a meeting
ground for department heads. To assemble and report the statistics
of finance and action to the Executive Director. To advance ideas
for promotion and improvement. (HCO PL 27 Nov 59) Abbr. Ad council.
ADVISORY COUNCIL CHECKLIST, an Ad Council must know every corner
of the org's marketing, promotion, pricing, sales and delivery.
This means surveys, pricing and things to sell. Things to promote.
How to promote and who can one reach (OF, address, new publics).
How to sell. How to deliver. How to get in repeat business. These
actions have been assembled into an Advisory Council checklist, BPL
22 June 1975. Use of this checklist now becomes mandatory for Ad
Council who may not touch expenditure matters until it has reviewed
all points of the checklist and formulated an income planning which
forces in promotion, delivery, and sales, and which remedies the
weak points and removes the barriers to achieving these. The
checklist serves as a guide to direct Ad Council's attention to
vital areas, but may not be taken to supplant policy. (HCO PL 23
Jun 75)
ADVISORY COUNCIL TOW, the Advisory Conned World Wide meets every
Wednesday afternoon. Its procedure is as follows: it takes up the
Adcouncil SH minutes and passes or alters them and sends them on to
the Executive Director for OK as a SEC ED. The Adcouncil then takes
up the statistics of the International Division itself. It issues
any orders as a SEC ED and forwards it to the Executive Director
for approval and issue. It then takes up international statistics
org by org and draws up general SEC EDs WW or individual SEC EDs
for orgs and sends them to the Executive Director for approval and
issue. (HCO PL 11 Jan 66)
AFFILIATION, the establishment of a close relationship with; a
joining or connecting up so that the parts or branches so connected
come under common control.
AFFLUENCE, sudden peaks of income (SH Spec 62, 6505C25)
AFFLUENCE ATTAINMENT, consists of: (1) hard work, (2) in ethics,
(3) standard tech, (4) doing the things that won, not new things
untried as yet, (5) applying the formula of the condition one is
in. (HCO PL 13 1 Nov 72)
AFFLUENCE FORMULA, (1) economize. Now the first thing you must do
in effluence is economize and then make very very sure that you
don't buy anything that has any future commitment to it, don't buy
with any future commitments - nothing. That is all part of that
economy, clamp it down. (2) pay every bill. Get every bill that you
can possibly serape up from any place, every penny you owe anywhere
under the sun, moon and stars and pay them. (3) invest the
remainder in service facilities, make it more possible to deliver.
(4) discover what caused the condition of affluence and strengthen
it. (HCO PL 23 Sept 67)
AFTER SERVICE INTERVIEW, an individual completing a major service
is routed from Success to the registrar via the Promotion
Department for an "after service" interview. Every single person
has a story to tell of a major win or interesting occurrence from
applying Scn technology, but the results being obtained and the
wins in tech are unknown to promotion people. To remedy this
situation, a line is established in order that promo people: (a)
get data for current and future promotion of Scn and org services,
and (b) are well informed of the wins and successes through the
application of Scn technology. (BPL 22 Dec 71 III)
AGAINST ORGANIZATION, "against organization or posts and
protesting at org behavior or existence." (HCOB 19 Aug 63)
AGAINST SCIENTOLOGY, attention off Scn and protesting Scn
behavior or connections. (HCOB 19 Aug 63)
AGENDA, that which is placed before a committee, meaning a table
of actions. (7201C02 SO)
AGENT, one who has the power or authority to act for or represent
another as in the acquisition or disposal of goods, property,
services, funds, etc.
AGENT FOR GREAT BRITAIN, [HASI was a foreign corporation doing
business in UK. As such it had to have a designated agent
responsible in law for the activities of the corporation in the UK.
This is because without a legally assigned representative (called
agent) the corporation would have no legal identity in the foreign
country.
AGFA GEVAFAX, photocopier machine. (FO 2152) [Agfa Gevafax is a
brand name of a photocopier machine.]
AIDA, attention, interest, desire and action. These four things
have been isolated as necessary ingredients to successful sales. A
number of sales training courses are built around AIDA.
AIDE, 1. an aide in a bureau (Flag, CLOs, OTLs, Org Liaison
Office) is defined as the bureaux specialist and leading officer
for that division, internal and external, in all its functions.
Aide is the title of a Flag Staff Officer on Flag. "Assistant aide"
is the title in a CLO. The org equivalent in duties and hat is a
divisional secretary. In the case of an aide it is understood that
the person aided is the Commodore. In the case of an assistant
aide. the person aided is the Flag aide. (CBO 52) 2. an
18
aide has a certain exact part of the functions of the org board to
handle and keep going in all Scn, SO and Scn orgs. They could be
considered the head of a division or function of a planet-wide org
board. When that part of the planet-wide org board declines or is
in trouble, it is the aide who is held responsible. Similarly, when
the area is upstat it is the aide who is commended. (FO 2945) 3. an
aide, by definition, has to be an expert on the Data Series and how
to conduct investigations. Otherwise an aide will consistently
operate on "whys" derived from a dispatch line. The bulk of an
aide's duties should consist of discovering, tracing, finding the
data about and the real whys of situations and then getting ideas
to handle them and programming and handling them. The remaining
time at the disposal of an aide should be spent in implementing
programs that have already been released to handle things and
getting them in fully and completely. (FO 3064) 4. the duties of an
aide and an assistant aide could be broken down roughly into the
following categories: (1) assistance to the Commodore, (2)
assistance to their FB and CLO seniors, (3) administrative duties
(including dispatches), (4) evaluations, (5) programming, (6)
implementation of existing programs including logging compliances,
(7) conference duties, (8) executive responsibility to juniors, (9)
inspections and assistance in the nearby service org on those
functions which apply to their post so as to maintain and continue
familiarity with the existing scene. (FO 3064) 5. an aide in the
Flag Bureaux is required to do the following evaluations each week
using the data available in the Data Bureau and applying the
technology of the Data Series: (a) each branch of their own bureau
at Flag based on the international stat of Scn organizations (plus
franchise for CS-6), (b) each branch of their own bureau at Flag
for Sea Org organizations based on the international Sea Org stat,
(e) each assistant aide in CLOs covering their division or
activity, (d) their divisional continental stat for each
continental area. (FO 3064) 6. it is clearly the function of aides
and assistant aides to manage their opposite numbered divisions
over the world. (FO 2474) 7. there are now six aides to the
Commodore. These are: CS-1, CS-2, CS-3, CS-4, CS-5, CS-6. (FO 795)
8. the primary purpose of a Commodore's Staff Aide is to forward
the actions and targets established by the Commodore and to assist
him in accomplishing these. The next important purpose is to assist
the Commodore in the planning and establishment of actions and
targets. (CS Order 71) 9. Aide is the title of a Flag Staff Officer
on Flag who aids LRH with respect to a particular division, bureau,
or zone of activity. (BTB 12 Apr 72B) 10. International Secretary.
(HCO PL 7 Mar 72)
AIDE'S COMMUNICATOR, all communications to any aide from any
terminals other than staff must be routed via that aide's
communicator. The Aide's Communicator sorts out all dev-t and
handles as per dev-t policy. All out-going comms from aides to
terminals other than staff go via the Aide's Communicator for
logging orders. (FO 1548)
AIDES CONFERENCE, (DOC and Aides Conference) these fail by
misuse. They are bodies to approve or modify prepared CSW of
members for passing by higher authority. They are not planning
bodies which originate. It can approve, reject or modify. Its
individual members prepare CSW for the committee before its
meeting. Authority senior to the committee is then assisted. The
whole upset with committees is they are used wrongly. They are not
there to plan. They are there as individuals to be informed and
have a say in modifying or approving or rejecting material drawn up
before. This is also true of the Aides Conference, FOs and PLs sent
direct to me, for instance, is a committee or conference by-pass.
These deny information and a say to all the other aides. Also I
often have to submit them back to other individual aides to see if
it is all right - a function of the Aides Conference. (FO 2653)
AIDES COUNCIL, 1. it is a coordinating body for an evaluation. It
is a coordinating body so that somebody isn't trying to do
something that somebody else is doing. They should be doing an
evaluation of what should be evaluated, so that nothing gets away
from it. (7205C18 SO) 2. the aides and the pure bureau functions
are all devoted to a body called the Aides Council, which is
engaged in management of external orgs. (ESTO 2, 7203C01 SO II) 3.
an Aides Council or A/Aides (or International Secretary or
Assistant International Secretary) Council is held as (1) a product
conference or (2) a program conference or (3) an establishment
conference, but never two or three of these at the same time. (HCO
PL 7 Mar 72) 4. the aide or assistant aide in the CLO is a member
of the Aides Council. Such a council is used for briefing and for
recommending. A council handles situations by spotting them and
requiring evaluations, plans and programs. The council reviews old
programs and progress on them. (CBO 52) Abbr. AC.
AIDES LEVEL, the business you're in (aides) is putting up the
stats of orgy The action in which you're engaged, is find an org
that has been responsible for income in the past and evaluate it,
and that's at aides level, and that's what's known as Staff.
Evaluations and MOs would at aides level, Staff Aides. (7205C18 SO)
AIDES ORDER, 1. covers external matters having to do with FOLOs
and outer orgs. Usually contains evaluations by myself or Flag
management personnel. The program of an evaluation is sometimes
issued as an FPGMO issued to senior executives on Flag and
personnel concerned. They are numbered by area to which they apply.
(HCO PL 24 Sept 70B) 2. the basic order form of Flag is the Aides
Order. This is an evaluation done by a Flag evaluator. It contains
targets. (HCO PL 7 Aug 73 I) 3. all programs and projects come from
evaluations. They are the handling part of the evaluation in the
program or project. These evaluations are issued as Aides Orders.
(CBO 213BB) 4. Aides Orders cover external matters having to do
with CLOs and outer orgs, or whenever orders refer to both internal
and external. Aides Orders are not exported: they go only to
bureaux personnel and those on Flag who might be concerned in the
order. (ED 1 Flag) Abbr. AO.
AIMS, the organizational goals and intentions. These are usually
expressed in the policies of the organization.
ALERT COUNCIL WW, these eight posts work in close liaison and
must meet weekly as the Alert Council WW: International
Communications Officer, International Ethics Officer, International
Admin Officer, International Special Programs Execution Officer,
International Promotion Officer, International Technical Officer,
International Declarations Officer and the International Treasurer
WW This council has advisory powers and is to draw up weekly for
the LRH Comm WW, the Guardian WW and the HCO and Org Exec Secs WW
an alert bulletin org by org giving a prediction of good expansion
or trouble or contraction based on their respective fields of comm,
ethics, admin pattern, tech, programs execution, public expansion
and money with recommendations for any action in each org or
generally They are then to execute the action as individual
officers when it is approved or as modified unanimously by the
executives to whom it is sent. (HCO PL 21 Sept 67 international
Officers at WW, Alert Council)
ALERT OFFICER, 1. the major stats of an org are plotted in big
stat books. The gross divisional stats are plotted in folders.
These are gone through carefully each week by an Alert Officer. He
is looking for dangerous stat situations or extremely good ones.
All this information is written up in a published weekly Data
Bureau stat report. (FBDL 192B) 2. officer trained up to spot ores
in trouble or orgs shooting the moon and to make sure situations do
get handled. (OODs 4 Jun 72) 3. the Alert Officer's main duty is to
find the things that need to be handled. The first thing he looks
for is down stats. The second thing he looks for is unanswered comm
- he ensures that Program Chiefs take care of the correspondence in
the Data Bureau folders. He would also find high stats that need to
be reinforced. He ensures the relevant terminals are informed of
all these situations and maintains the necessary administrative
procedures to see they are located, called to attention and
handled. A routine duty of the Alert Officer is the weekly stat
summary. (CBO 204)
ALL AUDITORS ACTION, whenever an org has a Tech or Qual backlog
it is usual to call an all auditor action. Any admin personnel
assist with scheduling and getting pcs in to the auditors without
making pcs wait or wasting an auditor's time. All tech trained
personnel in the org devote a certain number of hours in the day to
delivering auditing for Tech or Dual and spend a certain amount of
time on their regular posts until the backlog is gone. Too many of
these "all auditors" can cut an org to bits. They are only done so
long as there is a backlog. (LRH ED 49 INT)
ALL HANDS, an action requiring a huge burst of activity is called
an aid hands action. Thus a making to be stuffed in envelopes and
mailed, a huge doorbell ringing campaign to get individual
purposes, a big drive to persuade civic groups by individual calls
- all these are all hands actions (HCO PL 3 Dec 63)

Flag)
ALLOCATION, 1. a sum of money or a quantity set aside or allotted
for a specific purpose. 2. the calculation of the correct amount of
personnel, materials, machines or finances needed to obtain the
planned results.
ALLOCATION BOARD, in Department 1, an allocation board is kept
which shows vacancies. This board is a piece of cardboard which
shows all divisions and departments of the org board aligned such
as the org board. It is kept by personnel procurement and when a
request for a staff member comes in, the personnel procurement
officer writes on a small strip of paper the post that is vacant
and who requested the personnel on the reverse side of the paper. A
pin is then stuck
19
through the end of the paper and it is stuck in the department
where the vacancy is. At the top of each division and department is
the maximum quota of personnel authorized for that department or
division by the Ad Council and the current number of persons in the
department concerned and the division. (HCO PL 14 Jan 66 II)
ALLOCATION PRODUCTION RATIO, the FBO has as a statistic the
allocation production ratio of the org. If his allocation buys
VFPs, be can expect a rising allocation production ratio statistic.
Normally, this is assured by the use of an allocation system which
allocates against VFPs.(BPL 4 Sept 71R)
ALLOCATION SUM, 1. calculated by subtracting from gross income
any bounced checks or refunds, book moneys, and "reimbursement"
type receipts (payments for phone calls, postage, etc., by students
or crew). Allocation percentages are then calculated from this
figure. (FO 1980) 2. that figure from which percentage avocations
are derived. The allocation sum is gross income after adjustments
have been made (per FO 1681) for bounced checks, refunds, advance
payments received, advance payments used, and book monies. Also
called "net income" or "corrected gross income." (FO 1828) 3. the
avocation sum for AOs (also called "corrected gross income" or "net
income") is defined as: gross income less advance payments
received, plus advance payments used. There are also adjustments
for refunds or returned checks on services used, and a deduction
for book income. The final result is the allocation sum, from which
the allocation percentages are then derived. (FO 1681) 4. the gross
income less the congress, books and tapes sum. (HASI PL 19 Apr 57
Proportionate Pay Plan.)
ALTERED COMPLIANCE, a type of dev-t where something was
introduced or changed in the orders which made them non-optimum.

relative importance, up or down. An out-point. (HCO PL 19 Sept 70
III)
ALTERED SEQUENCE, any things, events, objects, sizes in a wrong
sequence is an out-point. The number series 3, 7, 1, 2, 4, 6, 5, is
an altered sequence, or an incorrect sequence Doing step two of a
sequence of actions before doing step one can be counted on to
tangle any sequence of actions. (HCO PL 19 Sept 70 III)
20
ALTER-IS, 1. a composite word meaning the action of altering or
changing the reality of something. Is-ness means the way it is.
When someone sees it differently he is doing an alter-is; in other
words, is altering the way it is. (LRH Def. Notes) 2. alteration of
orders and tech is worse than non-compliance. Alter-is is a covert
avoidance of an order. Although it is apparently often brought
about by non-comprehension, the non-comprehension itself and
failure to mention it, is an avoidance of orders. (HCOB 22 Mar 67)
3. uncertainty comes totally from lack of understanding.
Understanding is barred out by the misunderstood word. All alter-is
comes after the misunderstood word. (LRH ED 154 INT)
ALTER-IS REPORT, staff member report of the alteration of design,
policy, technology or errors being made in construction. (HCO PL 1
May 65)
ALTERNATIVE COSTS, see COSTS, ALTERNATIVE.
AMENDMENT, an addition, deletion, modification or revision made
to a law, bill, constitution or motion, etc. If it is solely an
addition being made the amendment may be called an addendum.
AMENDS PROJECT, an individual may clean his own fee by
approaching ethics and offering to make amends. Any amends project
must benefit the org and be beyond the routine duties. It may not
only benefit the individual. Offers to "get audited at own expense
in Review" are acceptable as auditing will benefit everyone. No
work one would normally do himself on post is acceptable amends.
Doing what one should do anyway is not amends, it is the expected.
No org funds may be employed in an amends project. (HCO PL 1 May

AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PERSONNEL EFFICIENCY, DUBLIN, this
establishment and its personnel cease to be in any way connected

solving. If gauges break, don't just replace them. Find out why
they broke. Be sure you have the real answer. Fix that; then

ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY, 1. the antisocial personality has the
following attributes: (1) he or she speaks only in very broad
generalities. (2) such a person deals mainly in bad news, critical
or hostile remarks, invalidation and general suppression. (3) the
antisocial personality alters, to worsen communication when he or
she relays a message or news. Good news is stopped and only bad
news, often embellished, is passed along. (4) a characteristic, and
one of the sad things about an antisocial personality, is that it
does not respond to treatment or reform or psychotherapy. (5)
surrounding such a personality we find cowed or ill associates or
friends who, when not driven actually insane, are yet behaving in a
crippled manner in life, failing, not succeeding. (6) the
antisocial personality habitually selects the wrong target. (7) the
antisocial cannot finish a cycle of action. (8) many antisocial
persons will freely confess to the most alarming crimes when forced
to do so, but will have no faintest sense of responsibility for
them. (9) the antisocial personality supports only destructive
groups and rages against and attacks any constructive or betterment
group. (10) this type of personality approves only of destructive
actions and fights against constructive or helpful actions or
activities. (11) helping others is an activity which drives the
antisocial personality nearly berserk. Activities, however, which
destroy in the name of help are closely supported. (12) the
antisocial personality has a bad sense of property and conceives
that the idea that anyone owns anything is a pretense made up to
fool people. Nothing is ever really owned. (HCOB 27 Sept 66) 2. the
suppressive person. You, in speaking of it, actually marry up with
old technology because they have looked for this fellow called the
antisocial person for a long time. Freud used the term.
Psychologists use the term. They've used the term for a long time.
They know there is such a person called the antisocial personality
and this is the personality for which they have been groping. We're
calling it a suppressive because it is more explicit. (SH Spec 78,

from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication, which
together equate to understanding. It is pronounced by stating its

does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def.
Notes)
ARC BREAK, a sudden drop or cutting of one's affinity, reality
communication with someone or something. Upsets with people or
things come about because of a lessening or sundering of affinity,
reality or communication or understanding. It's called an ARC break
instead of an upset, because, if one discovers which of the three
points of understanding have been cut, one can bring about a rapid
recovery in the person's state of mind. It is pronounced by its
letters A-R-C break. When an ARC break is permitted to continue
over too long a period of time and remains in restimulation, a
person goes into a "sad effect" which is to say they become sad and
mournful, usually without knowing what is causing it. This
condition is handled by finding the earliest ARC break on the
chain, finding whether it was a break in affinity, reality,
communication, or understanding and indicating it to the person,
always, of course, in session. (LRH Def. Notes)
ARC BREAK AUDITOR, see ARC BREAK PROGRAM.

full time auditor is put in review and at no charge to pcs is kept
busy on ARC breaks only with it being an ethics offense to use him
or the ARC Break Registrar for any other student, pc or duty. And
you clean up the whole field from years and years back. This ARC
break auditor cures the ARC breaks with Level III tech and sends
the person to the usual registrar when done. This is his stable
datum: if your pc is not smiling and happy at the end of session
you are not auditing. The ARC Break Registrar has a special dual
stat - how many ARC broken pee have been found, in files, etc., how
many contacted. The ARC Break Auditor has a special dual stat - how
many ARC breaks (not pcs) found, how many handled. (ED 473 WW, 342

ASSOCIATED COMPANY, see COMPANY, ASSOCIATED.
ASSOCIATE MEMBER, 1. (Gung-ho Group) one must sharply
differentiate in giving out
31
ASSOCIATION SECRETARY, membership cards between the contributor
of money or things and the action member, by always calling the
money contributor an "associate" or "patron" and the time and
effort contributor a "full member" or a "true group member" or an
"active member" on the card. An active member should have a full
credentials card with picture, thumb print and description. An
associate just a name typed on a card. (HCO PL 8 Dec 68) 2. giving
money or things to a group are both a form of participation and
contribution. But while this is an important matter, it does not
involve actual action. Thus a contributor of money or objects to a
group is yet withholding himself and his time. One should seek
contribution of money and things. But the status granted for this
is that of patron or associate, not of a true member of the group.
(HCO PL 8 Dec 68) 8. receives no discounts or services, pin and

in charge of the functions of the first three divisions and the
Organization Executive Secretary the last four. In the Sea Org
these titles became Supercargo and Chief Officer but the functions
were similar. (HCO PL 9 May 74) 2. Organization Secretaries (US and
Saint Hill) or Association Secretaries (Commonwealth and South
Africa). (HCO PL 5 Mar 65 II) 8. the Association Secretary runs the
Central Organization. He is usually assisted by a secretary who
expedites his communications, writes his letters and gets in his
reports for the OIC and keeps it. (HCO PL 20 Dec 62) 4. proper
operation, wiping performance of duty of its executives and
personnel, its ample financial solvency and general high
effectiveness of the technical and administrative functions of the
Central Organization are all the responsibility of the Association
Secretary. (HCO PL 20 Dec 62) 5. the Association Secretary is
looked upon to keep the organization in existence and functioning
at a high level. HCO helps but the final responsibility of keeping
an organization going is the Association Secretary's. (HCO PL 14
Feb 61, The Pattern of a Central Organization) 6. the Association
Secretary or Organization Secretary has full authority over his or
her organization and personnel. It is his or her task to cope when

ATHENA, 1. formerly the Avon River. (6908C27 SO) 2. was phased
over from a training vessel to a cramming vessel on 19 Jan 1972.
The basic plan was to have a place where a rapid (one week)
cramming action can take place for SO and EU Org staff members to
gen them in on their posts and scene and on such things as
translated tape use, tape recorder use, correct auditing comm
cycle, and other short cycle matters and expertise they vitally
need in there ores. (FO 8182)
A TO I HAT, hat content. A hat must contain: (a) a purpose of the

of staff in an organization due to unavoidable circumstances such
as old age, retirement, death, etc. 4. a gradual decrease in salary
levels paid due to hiring personnel at lower wages than their
predecessors. This occurs because new staff do not qualify for the
additional wages provided in an incremental payment system due to
lack of seniority, proven value, etc.

intensifies or carries sound over a distance which is used as an
aid to education, work, research or the like. Tape recorders,

AUDIT, 1. the process whereby an auditor inspects the accounts of
a company to ensure they are correctly recorded, tallied and
summarized and that profit, loss and expenditure figures have been
honestly represented. A company may have an independent auditor
audit its accounts as a check on the company's own financial and
accounting systems. 2. any systematic study and evaluation of a
problem or situation.
AUDIT BY ROTATION, procedure for auditing the accounts of a
company in which the major parts of the accounts are examined in
depth by rotation over a period of years as opposed to trying to
audit all of a company's accounts regularly each year. Often
auditors will take care not to establish a predictable pattern of
handling any company's or group of companies' accounts.
AUDIT CYCLE, the period (usually about three years) during which
an audit by rotation covers all the sections of the concern being
audited.
AUDITED AT CAUSE, you have heard that a pc has to be audited at
cause. This means he has to be audited in a way which puts him at
cause over his bank and environment. Posts are the same way. (OODs
26 May 75)
AUDITING FLUBS, consist of corny things like running a rud but no
F/N, failure to flatten a chain, bad TRs, auditing over out-ruds,
chopping the pc before full end phenomena is attained. Evaluation
or even chatter after the session can upset a pc that ended session
on F/N VGIs. (HCO PL 8 Sept 70R)
AUDITING RUDIMENTS CHECKSHEET, used in straightening up HGC pcs
or cancelling sessions on students. The Checksheet should be used
by Ds of P. supervisors and instructors seeking to establish
whether or not the HGC or student auditor got the rudiments in
during a session. (HCO PL 1 Jun 62)
AUDITING SECTION, 1. that section of a training course where
auditing occurs. It is not where auditing is taught. It is that
section where auditing is experienced, as an auditor, as a
preclean. Auditing is taught in theory and practical. It is only
guided in the auditing section. (HCO PL 21 Oct 62) 2. the student
when he has passed in final theory and practical for an auditing
class, is then also assigned to the auditing section. While working
in the auditing section, the student completes the requirements of
the level he or she is
33
auditing in. The Auditing Section is there to instill the fact that
standard auditing gets results, that only results are acceptable
and that extraordinary solutions get bad results. (HCO PL 14 May
62)

abolished since all instructors are doing auditing supervision as a
training measure. The missing action is that of Case Supervisor.
(HCO PL 24 Jan 64, Case Supervisor) 2. the Auditing Section is
headed by the Auditing Supervisor (usually the Director of
Training). The Auditing Supervisor does most of his or her
inspection by studying auditing reports written by the auditor. In
the event of no gain or worse, the Auditing Supervisor investigates
the auditor's auditing in terms of gross auditing errors and finds
and corrects these by close inspection of the next session. The
Auditing Supervisor is not there to crack cases. The Auditing
Supervisor is there only to get good auditing done. His or her
attention is on the auditor, not the pc, an important fact which,
if overlooked, will stagnate auditing results. (HCO PL 14 May 62)
3. on the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course and in academies,
supervision of the Auditing Section is done by the Auditing
Supervisor and Auditing Instructor or instructors. The Auditing
Supervisor and instructors are not there to audit cases. The
Auditing Supervisor (or in some cases, the Course Supervisor as at
Saint Hill) assigns all sessions and teams. There are three sources
of observing auditing used by the Auditing Supervisor and
instructors These are: (a) direct observation of the session; (b)
study of the auditor's report; (e) observation of the preclean The
Auditing Supervisor combines all three. giving the most time to (a)
direct observation of the session (HCO PL 21 Oct 62) 4. ensures
students can audit. (HCO PL 15 May 68)
AUDITING TIME, time spent in sessions and does not include doing
the folder admin which is done at once after the session and sent
to case supervisor. (FO 2151)
AUDIT, INTERNAL, a relatively independent investigation activity
within an organization carried on by an internal audit executive or
group as an aid to management, having the responsibility of
verifying the reliability of records and reporting on the financial
effectiveness of programs and operations.
34
AUDIT LEDGER, in this ledger one can see how much was banked, how
much was drawn out of the bank, what the income was, what the money
was spent on, and how much you have in the bank. In other words,
you have all your money affairs condensed into eight sheets of
paper instead of spread over thousands upon thousands of invoices,
vouchers, checks and other pieces of paper of different types. (HCO
PL 10 Oct 70 I)
AUDIT, MANAGEMENT, an analysis and recommendation by a qualified
and impartial person, such as an outside management consultant, of
the quality of management in a business. It looks at how
efficiently the current management handles finances, personnel,
personnel training, production, sales, planning, organization, etc.
In analyzing this it usually gets around to looking at the
management personnel as well. The resulting recommendation shows
the current picture and recommends an appropriate handling to
increase the efficiency of management.
AUDIT, MARKETING, in overall marketing planning, the review and
appraisal of marketing strategy, current services, activities and
accomplishments.
AUDITOR, 1. Scn processing is done on the principle of making an
individual look at his own existence, and improve his ability to
confront what he is and where he is. An auditor is the person
trained in the technology and whose job it is to ask the person to
look, and get him to do so. The word auditor is used because it
means one who listens, and a Scn auditor does listen. (Scn 0-8, p

AUDITORS DIVISION, the Enrollment Division is transferred from
HCO (Saint Hill) Ltd. to HCO (WW) Ltd., and is renamed Auditors

8. the Auditor magazine is the number one main income getter in the
long run for SH Orgs. Aside from

letters and advance registration and selectee advice packs planned
in advance, on-policy, hard sell Auditors that offer the services
of Saint Hill with heavy impact and that are mated at once on
schedule are the backbone of SHs. (LRH ED 159R-I INT) [The Auditor

AUDITOR TRAINEE PROGRESS BOARD, a vertical auditor trainee
progress board is kept by the Interne Supervisor. This has a space
under each of the headings, left to right. Boxes along the top,
left to right, serve to indicate the exact action the trainee is
doing. The trainee's name is on a tab that is pinned to the space.
The name tab is merely dated each time it is moved to the right.
Thus the Interne Supervisor can chase up any faltering student.
(HCOB 7 Jan 72)

AUTHORITARIAN ACTIONS, arbitrary actions. (DAB Vol. II, 1951-52,
p. 141)
AUTHORITARIANISM, is little more than a form of hypnotism.

23 Jul 78RA) 3. orders may only be issued from Flag to orgs or
areas or any part thereof whether by dispatch or
36
telex, with proper and passed evaluation. An area will sag if: (1)
the evaluation it is being handled on is not severely pure per Data
Series, (2) it receives orders that are part of no evaluation at
all. The second is by far the most serious. Only if the Data Series
is in full and exact use will a consequent increase of SO and Scn
strength and stats occur. This is the mission of AVU. AVU sees
that: (a) needed evaluations are done, (b) evaluations are severely
pure per Data Series and are on the exact scene, (e) that barriers
to (a) and (b) are rapidly called to attention and are properly
handled per (a) or (b). (FO 8149-1) 4. the Authorization and
Verification Unit is in Department 21 (Source). All actions must

AUTOCRATIC CONTROL, tight control exercised over a company or
part of it by the person in charge. The person acts similarly to an
autocrat who must have absolute control and maintains a domineering
status over those below him.
AUTO-EVALUATION SLIPS, on the American Personality Analysis or
the Oxford Capacity Analysis, there are the personality traits,
lettered from A to J. For purposes of auto-evaluation, the total
span of the top (+ 100) to the bottom (-100) for each trait has
been divided in to sections numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. These sections
are divided as follows: from +70 and above to +100 is section 1.
>From +20 and above to +69 is section 2. From -40 and abbe to +19 is
section 8. From -100 and above to -89 is section 4. Each trait
therefore has four possible auto-evaluation cards. The cards, say,
for happy, trait B. are lettered B1, B2, B3 and B4. According to
the score made by the person tested, a card is selected on the
basis of that person's score. A person scoring +50 on active would
have card E2 selected scoring +10 on appreciative would have card
18 selected, and so on. These auto-evaluation slips and the graph
are part of the eight unit automatic evaluation packet for the PE
foundation. (See HCO Policy Letter of March 2, 1961, Automatic

extent of the evaluation packet. It is intended that when a person
is tested, his test is marked and automatically evaluated, and the
evaluation (with the literature tentatively listed below) is sent
to the evaluator. When the person tested comes in for his or her
evaluation appointment, evaluation is done from the automatic
evaluation strictly in accordance with the model evaluation script.
The person is then given the whole packet and is directed to the
registrar or whatever routing is arranged. The packet is his or her
property. (1) graph, evaluation slips. (2) form letter giving IQ
and future. (8, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are letter press sheets.) (8) What is
Scn? (4) the cheapest way - PE Co-audit. (5) the fastest way -
individual processing. (6) the educational way - books, training.
(7) the state of release. (8) two free tickets for a test they can
give their friends. (HCO PL 2 Mar 61)
AUTOMATIC REGISTRAR, automatic registrar machines are used so
enrollment in training and in individual processing can be detected
at once by any visitor. An automatic registrar has all the
information about training or processing and all the forms and
routing displayed on a board with pigeonholes. It is prominently
displayed. One is for training. One is for processing. Each is a
full sales talk and has all forms. (HCO PL 28 Jan 61)
AUTOMATION, 1. the reduction of the need for human labor in an
activity because of the introduction of self operating machinery to
do the same functions. 2. the use of electronic devices and

Azimuth Meter
AZIMUTH METER, a good auditor is expected to see his meter, pc
and worksheet all at one time. No matter what he is doing he should
always notice any meter movement if the meter needle moves. If he
cannot do this he should use an Azimuth meter and not put paper
over its glass but should do his worksheet looking through the
glass at his pen and the paper - the original design purpose of the
Azimuth meter. Then even while writing he sees the meter needle
move as it is in his line of vision. (HCOB 28 Feb 71)
