BACKFLASH, an unnecessary response to an order. This can get
fairly wicked. They are not acknowledgments, they are comments or
refutals. Example: "sell the bricks" as an order, is replied to I
by "bricks are hard to sell" or "we should have sold I them
yesterday. " This is a disease peculiar to only I a few staff
members. They cannot receive an order directly and are seeking to
be part of the communication, not the recipient. This goes so far
as senseless "willco's" or "I'll take care of it" when the
executive only wants to know "is it done?" (HCO PL 10 Apr 68)
BACKLOG, 1. an increasing accumulation of tasks unperformed or
materials not processed. (HCO PL 26 Jan 72 I) 2. (AVU) the

BAD ACTION, is really just an out-point. (OODs 11 Apr 72)
BAD COMMUNICATION LONE, a bad communication line would be too
slow, one on which messages become altered or get delivered to, or
seen by, the wrong people, or where the message arrived in
incomprehensible form or not at all. It could also be one that was
so expensive it could not be used freely. Here is an uncertain,
balky or dangerous comm line. (FO 2528)
BAD CONTROL, we define bad control as not-control, or as an
unknown attempt at control without actually effecting control.
(POW, p. 44)
BAD DEBT, a debt which is known or believed to be uncollectible
and is written off as a loss.
BAD EXECUTIVE, he simply tries to do several posts, thus leaving
many posts unsupervised and leaving many details uncoordinated and
depriving staff of necessary liaison and supervision amongst the
various posts He takes the juicy tidbits which require "command
decision" away from the posts
40
and leaves each post a naked drudgery of petty detail; in other
words, he scoops off the cream and does, to a slight degree, each
of the jobs around and thus brings about a state of
irresponsibility on the various terminals. (HCO PL 80 Oct 62)
BAD INDICATOR, what is a bad indicator really? It is merely an
out-point taken from the five primary out-points. It is not "bad
news" or "entheta" or a rumor. The "bad news" could easily be a
falsehood and is an out-point, because it is false bad news. "Good"
news when it is a falsehood is an out-point (HCO PL 15 May 70 II,

BAD LEADERSHIP, bad leaders (1) issue no or weak orders (2) do

enforce compliance. (HCO PL 8 Nov 66)
BAD POLICY, ideas or procedures that were unsuccessful in
assisting the basic purpose of an individual, species, organism,
organization, become bad policy. (HCO PL 18 Mar 65, Division 1, 2,

BAD PROGRAM, a program is a bad program if it detracts from
programs which are already moving successfully or distracts staff
people or associates from work they are already doing (doing that
is adding up to successful execution of other programs) (HCOB 12
Sept 59)
BAD SITUATION, 1. a situation is something that applies to
survival and if you evaluate the word "situation" against survival,
you've got it. A good situation is a high level of survival; a bad
situation is a threatened survival and a no-situation is something
that won't affect survival. (7201C02 SO) 2. a departure from the
ideal scene. (HCO PL 17 Feb 72)
BAD WORKER, one who is unable to control the equipment he is
supposed to control or the communication lines he is supposed to
handle. (POW, p. 40)
BAIT AND BADGER, a busy executive or division is not necessarily
a producing executive or division. So if no products from him or
staff for whatever reason, he's below danger. You don't have a head
of div or org if you don't have products coming off and exchange
occurring. Only these, not excuses or motions, tell the tale. You
can get "PR" and glowing (but false) reports. You can get all sorts
of things. But where are the products. So you bait (tease) and
badger (nag) the head of div (or org) to impinge on him (draw his
attention) unto he snarls or cries or screams and spits out am
out-point. You don't ask him like repetitive commands, "Why aren't
you working?" You ask in many ways "Where are the products?" and
he'll eventually tell you an out-point Lake "But I can't get out
any products because they aren't products until they are back home
telling people how good we are so how can I...." Or "I just keep
running around here and nothing happens." Or some other nonsense
that nonsense. That's his WHY. So you tell him, "Look, you don't
get out products because you don't think you can!" or "You are just
trying to look busy so you won't be thought idle." And if you're
smart and on the ball, that will be it. The exec will cognite and
go into smooth 2WC at once and you got him out of the Esto P/L
Series 18 state into a confront. This is "bait end badger" to get
him broken out of non-confronting. That's all that's wrong with him
reality. He doesn't look. (HCO PL 24 Apr 72)
BALANCE OF PAYMENTS, the balance between a nation's imports and
exports (of products and services) and the attendant inflow and
outflow of income over a given period of time, usually a fiscal
year.
BALANCESHEET, 1. is composed of all the accounts representing
either assets or liabilities. These accounts are not terminatedly
handled at the balance sheet date and so remain as "balances."
Hence the term "balance" sheet - it is simply a sheet of paper
listing down all those accounts not terminatedly handled and
therefore still showing a "balance." (BPL 14 Nov 70 IV) 2. simply a
financial statement, which bats down all the assets and liabilities
of the organization at the end of the financial period concerned.

41
BANK-AGREEMENT, the common denominator of a group is the reactive
hank. Thetans without banks have different responses. They only
have their banks in common. They agree then only on bank
principles. Person to person the bank is identical. So constructive
ideas are individual and seldom get broad agreement in a human
group. An individual must rise above an avid craving for agreement
from a humanoid group to get anything decent done. The
bank-agreement has been what has made earth a hell. (HCO PL 7 Feb
65)
BANK BALANCE, the amount of money that a depositor has in his
bank account; the difference between deposits and withdrawals.

of each account, the balance per bank statement for each account,
to which is added the outstanding deposits for each account (not
credited by bank) less outstanding checks for each account (all
checks expended which have not yet been debited to the account by
bank statement). This will give you the reconciled balance for each
account. A bank reconciliation basically shows the state of the
account if all deposits and checks clear the bank. (BPL 4 Dec

BAROMETER, 1. a compilation of statistical data that predicts
future market trends or business activity. 2. anything that serves
to predict or indicate future action or change.
BARTER SYSTEM, basically money is "an idea backed by confidence."
The idea is that the exchange of goods or services kind for kind is
too clumsy. To carry your dozen eggs all over town until you find
someone who has bread he will exchange for your eggs so you can
have bread is too clumsy. That is called a barter (trading) system
and is used in primitive tribes. To solve this, men get the idea
of making metal or slips of paper to represent the eggs and the
bread. Thus you don't need to look all over town. (HCO PL 27 Nov

BASE, the bottom of something considered its support. (HCO PL 9

BEAN THEORY, 1. finance is best understood as a commodity in
terms of beans. So many beans are issued to an activity and so many
more beans back. Beans do not magically materialize into more
beans. What brings back more berms for those issued is the
production and industry of org staff and how wisely the berms are
allocated. Even the interest one earns on a bank account is earned
in fact by someone's production and ability to get more beans out
of an activity than are put in. Where finance uses its beans to buy
production and industry and pro jested income at a cost which
requires the activity to be viable, it gets back more beans and a
raised allocation-production ratio. The first rule of finance and
any activity is income greater than in outgo. Where finance can
skillfully apply this to the divisions and personnel of an org as
well as the org as a whole, the additional beans materialize
because what is bought is production and the products which add up
to the product of
45
raised income and viability. (BPL 19 Mar 71) 2. buy more money made
with adorations for expense (bee theory). A small sack of beams
will produce a whole field of beams. Allocate only with that b mind
and demand money be made. (HCO PL 9 Mar 72 I)

BLAMING MEST, I have noticed that, when personnel have been
careless or incompetent to repair, they blame the meat. This is

BLINDNESS, the blindness of a person can stem from two sources,
one of those is fluidity, he just never spans his attention and the
other one is overts. An individual who has committed overts long
enough and often enough on a certain area will not be able to
perceive it anymore. He just doesn't see and by that we mean
ocular. A person who commits overts often enough on another person
will have that person disappear right in the physical universe
before them. (ESTO 5, 7203C03 SO I)

BLOW, v. leave hurriedly. (HCO PL 25 Jun 72)
BLOW-OFFS, departures, sudden and relatively unexplained from
sessions, posts, jobs, locations and areas. One can treat people so
well that they grow ashamed of themselves, knowing they don't
deserve it, that a blow-off is precipitated, and certainly one can
treat people so badly that they have no choice but to leave, but
these are extreme conditions and In between these we have the
majority of departures: people leave because of their own overts
and withholds. That is the factual fact and the hard bound rule. A
man with a clean heart can't be hurt. The man or woman who must
must must become a victim and depart is departing because of his or
her own overts and withholds. It doesn't matter whether the person
is departing from a town or a job or a session. The cause is the
same. (HCOB 31 Dec 59)

punishment. The whole purpose is to get at the facts. A Board may
recommend a Committee of Evidence. (HCO PL 4 Jon 66) 2. a Board of

BODY OF KNOWLEDGE, (Logic 2) a body of knowledge is a body of

BODY Q AND A, some people Q and A with their bodies. The body is,
after all, composed of most. It follows the laws of meet. One of
these laws is Newton's first law of motion: inertia. This is the
tendency of a mest object to remain motionless until acted upon by
an exterior force. Or to continue in a line of motion until acted
upon by an exterior force. Well, the main force around that is
continually acting on a human body is a thetan, the being himself.
The body will remain at rest (since it is a mest object) until
acted upon by the thetan that is supposed to be running it. If that
being is an aberrated non-straight line being, the body reacts on
him more than he reacts on the body. Thus he remains motionless or
very slow. When the body is in unwanted motion; the being does not
deter the motion as the body is abating upon him far more than he
is reacting on the body. As a result, one of the manifestations is
Q and A. He wants to pick up a piece of paper. The body inertia has
to be overcome to do so. So he does not reach for the paper, he
just leaves the hand where it is. This would be no action at all.
If he then weakly forces the motion, he finds himself picking up
something else like a paper clip, decides he wants that anyway and
settles for it. Now he has to invent why he has a paper clip in his
hand. His original intention never gets executed. Some people on
medical lines are just there not because of actual illness but
because they are just Qing and Aing with their body. The cure for
this sort of thing (Q and A with a body) is objective processes.

is then a sign-up registrar of individuals who come with their
bodies into the org and then signs them up again for further
services when they have completed the services they signed up for.

BOOK OF IN PERSON SCHEDULING, registers people who schedule ahead
in person. (HCO PL 6 Apr 65)
BOOK OF LETTER SCHEDULING, the Letter Reg actually registers This
is done by getting people to schedule courses and intensives. For
example, on a questionnaire, Bill says he someday wants to be
trained, one intensifies this with when and gently coaxes Bill to
say "next year" and then coaxes Bill in a next letter to say when
next year. So Bill does and it becomes a fact and the Letter
Registrar registers Bill on her book of letter scheduling. Such a
book is best if heavy paper loose leaf, very heavy binding and snap
ring for page removal and replacement. Thus such a book can have a
page removed for a copy machine to copy, the page replaced and the
copy sent on with no other work. One week can be one page or
several pages if it goes to many students and pcs. One can keep the
right side of the open double page for students and the left side
for preclears and the week at the top of each page. Thus one can
put a lot of pcs and students in it if it's big enough and can see
week by week for months and even a year what is coming. (HCO PL 6

the book is reprinted, getting proper OKs to do so, that the
preparation of the MSS is done, and that Printing Hat follows
through on it from there. (HCO PL 15 Mar 60) [The above HCO PL was

exceedingly well versed in ropes and their use. The Bosun's store
Is his domain. Here he keeps his ropes, tackle, shackles, blocks;
he knows where the water measuring rods are, where the tools are,
he sees they are returned at the end of each working day cleaned
and in good condition. He sees to the landing and retrieving of
boats, the handling of cargo, the condition of rigging and fenders
- all the working rig of the decks. The bosun is the kind of man
that when there is something tricky to be done, or some emergency,
you immediately "send for the Bosun" He is a seaman's seaman; a
jack-of-all-trades and master of all of them. (Ship's Org Bk.) 2.

BRAINWASHING, 1. brainwashing is a very simple mechanism. One
gets a person to agree that something might be a certain way and
then drives him by introverting him and through self-criticism to
the possibility that it is that way. Only then does a man believe
that the erroneous fact was a truth. By gradient scale of
hammering, pounding and torture, brainwashers are able to make
people believe that these people saw and did things which they
never did do. But its effectiveness is minor as Russia does not
know enough about the mind, even though we recently taught nothing
but German-Russian theory in our schools. MAR, p. 84) 2. is
actually that technique by Pavlov which makes the dog believe that
he can't tell the difference between a bell and a buzzer. Now I'D
untangle that for you. They ring a bell and feed the dog, and they
ring a bed and feed the dog, and they ring a bed and feed the dog.
Now the dog is conditioned (psychological term) to be fed when the
bell rings. Now, they buzz a buzzer and beat the dog, and buzz a
buzzer and beat the dog, and they buzz a buzzer and beat the dog,
and they buzz a buzzer and beat the dog. Now what they're really
doing is adding up a bunch of engrams, they aren't conditioning him
at all. And then they gradually reduce the sound of the bell to the
sound of the buzzer, and reduce the sound of the buzzer to the
sound of the bed till the dog can't tell the difference between the
buzzer and the bed and at that moment he goes psychotic. He can't
tell whether he's going to be beaten or fed. That is brainwashing.
It is specific technology. (6804SM) 3. changing the values of
things. (6804SM) 4. is subjection of a person to systematic

press and on TV when no air time or newsprint time or newsprint was
devoted to give our viewpoint or the true facts from our viewpoint.
Thus we decided that if we could not get our viewpoints printed we

BULL-BAIT DUMMY RUN, you take a whole bunch of questions which
the public would be prone to ask and you'd be surprised how funny
some of the questions are. "Well, I have a check here on the
Farmers Bank of Des Moines and it is for $2,000 and I owe you $260,
so if you could give me the change, why then I would be happy to
buy...." See what your cashier does. See what he says. See if he
handles it at all. You find out the bulk of the cashiers sort of
say, "Get out, get out - hah!" That's not the proper public
response. And therefore, your bull-bait dummy rums pay off because
the bull-bait dummy rum tests the personnel. The plain dummy run
just tests the lines. (FEBC 10, 7101C24 SO III)

find certain actions, words, phrases, mannerisms or subjects that
cause the student doing the drill to become distracted from the

attract the bull's attention and control the bud, so does the coach
attempt to attract and control the student's attention; however the
coach flunks the student whenever he succeeds in distracting the
student from the drill and then repeats the action until it no
longer has any effect on the student. Taken from a Spanish and
English sport of "baiting" which means to "set dogs upon a chained
bud," but mainly "to attack or torment especially with persistent
insult, criticism or ridicule." Also "to tease." (LRH Def. Notes)

BUREAUX ACTION, any stress or confusion in running the Flag
Bureaux or a Continental Liaison Bureaux would have to be made. The
flow is elementary. The data is gotten in = collected stats,
reports, dispatches. It is condensed = plotted, assembled, filed,
made available internally. A very high or very low stat is spotted
by evaluations and all relevant data on it is found in the bureaux
so as to locate and state the real why. The evaluation analysis is
distributed. The action planning does a plan. Operations designates
a branch office or the local unit to activate it. A missionaire
goes or it is left to the Bureaux Liaison Office in the org. The
plan is posted with the stat and when the stat recovers or we have
the new data to publish on a high stat, the cycle is ended. This is
actually all that is basically going on in bureaux. When you
understand it as a simple, repeating cycle, you understand bureaux
action. (CBO 50)
