concerned, i.e. the value earned by the organization an the period.
On the left-hand side or debit side, the value of most and service
particles inflowed and used up by the organization for the period
275
concerned. If the value of the outflow exceeds the inflow side,
then there is profit; if the value of the inflow is greater, then
there is a loss. (BPL 14 Nov 70 III) 2. the I&E A/C shows how much
value you received or gave out during a period. The income side of
the I&E A/C is a summary of everything to do with the Income Dept.
The expenditure side of the I&E A/C is a summary of everything to
do with the Disbursements Dept. The I&E A/C shows such things as
the amount of depreciation on your assets, and the amount of bad
debts written off. These things have not been paid out in money but
they are still an expenditure. To reflect reality, the I&E A/C must
show how the values of each item have changed during the period.
After allowing for depreciation and writing off bad debts, etc.,
add up the two sides of the I&E A/C. If the income side totals more
than the expenditure side, then you have made a profit - real
profit in terms of value not just an apparent money profit. (HCO PL

month. All invoicing is done by the Income Division. Notice of all
bank payments paid in go to Income Division and all bank
statements. The Income Division retains and has all invoicing

second Tuesday of each month. (HCO PL 26 Nov 65R)
INCOME OFFICER, (Gung-Ho Group) the Income Officer cashiers and
receives and bills for any income owed. (HCO PL 2 Dec 68)
INCOME POLICING, to police something means, "to control,
regulate, keep in order, administer." Policing income ensures 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. If you follow a particle of money
through the org, you see that it gets into the org, gets exchanged
for a service and gets out of the org or into reserves. There is a
definite routing for money. If the org fails to collect the money
for the service that it delivers the exchange does not occur and
there is lost income. If the money comes in but does not get to
Treasury and for any reason gets side-tracked on the org lines,
there is again some lost income. Through income podding actions,
the Treasury Secretary ensures that the correct exchange does occur
between the public and the org, and that the org does receive the
income expected. (BPL 1 Feb 72 I)
INCOME SECTION, the Income Section invoices all monies received
on the appropriate machines and designates what each amount is for.
The Income Section also posts all receipts in ledgers, one for each

each debtor and sends out monthly formal statements to each debtor.
(HCO PL 6 May 64)
INCOME SHEETS, weekly reports are required from all service
departments. They are made on large sheets labelled Income Sheets.

invoice copies which are collected by their departments as proof of
payment before delivering a service or item sold. All invoices are
simply listed in numerical sequence on the Income Sheet, with the
date, name of the customer and details of service or item sold. The
amount of the invoice is entered in the appropriate column, whether
cash payment, debit, credit, or no-charge invoice. The Income
Sheets are the basic element of an internal income policing system.
(BPL 1 Feb 72RA)
INCOME SOURCES SUMMARY, each week your FBO fills in a report
called the Income Sources Summary. This report shows in what areas

INCOMPETENCE, being competent means the ability to control and
operate the things in the environment and the environment itself
When you see things broken down around the mechanic who is
responsible for them, he is plainly exhibiting his incompetence -

environment and adjust the environment for which he is responsible
- motors. Incompetence - lack of know-how, inability to control -
makes things go wrong. (HCO PL 30 Dec 70)
INCOMPLETE STAFF WORK, 1. if you are mad at your boss you can
always ruin him with incomplete staff work. You forward him a
fragment of alarming data without collecting the whole picture.
This makes him do a full job of information collection. You give
him no recommended solution. This makes him have to achieve a
solution by remote examination of data; then you make him issue
arbitrary and forceful orders that may ARC break (upset) some area
and hurt his reputation. (HCO PL 21 Nov 62) 2. it is incomplete
because I have to complete it by (1) assembling the data necessary
for a solution; (2) dreaming up the solution based on written data
only; (3) issuing orders rather than approving orders. (HCO PL 21
Nov 62)

into an airplane electrical system cuts out at 30,000 feet due to
the wrong metal to withstand cold and there goes the airplane. A
part from one class of parts is included wrongly in another class
of parts. So there is an incorrectly included datum which is a
companion to the omitted datum as an out-point. (HCO PL 23 Jun 70)

any non-optimum datum that departs from the ideal. (HCO PL 15 May
70 II) 2. something that signals an approaching change rather than
finding the Flange is already present and confirmed. (HCO PL 29 Mar
65 II)

INDIVIDUAL SALES LINE, the usual channel for the sale of books is
through ores, franchises and bookstores. These obtain their books
from Pubs Orgs. There is however, another One of book sales from
Pubs Orgs to individuals. Where an org, through FP troubles or
other reasons fails to stock up fully, or fails to push books into
the public, its stats falter. Individuals in its area cannot get
books, tapes or meters from the org. Thus there must be another
line so individuals in an area can order books. All the individual
book sales line consists of is a second Line to the public from
Pubs. (HCO PL 5 Sept 74)

INFILTRATED, this means people have been put in on your lines.
(LRH ED 22 WW)
INFLATION, 1. the amount of money in the country exceeds the
amount of thing there is to buy, that's inflation. When the amount
of products in the country exceed the amount of money there is to
buy things, that's deflation. Both of them upset the economic
field. (ESTO 9, 7203C05 SO I) 2. the fact is that you can't take
more out of something than is in it. An activity, by its own
efforts, has to make money before it can spend it Governments today
are omitting doing that so you have a cheapening of money that Is
cared inflation. (ED 459-35 Flag) 3. inflation takes place in the
presence of a shortage of goods and a deflation takes place in the
presence of an abundance of goods. That's really all you need to
know about money. If money won't buy things it inflates and if
money will buy too much, it deflates. So if the people have no
facilities to produce or are being disturbed continuously
politically you get an inflating state of affairs. (SH Spec 13,
6403C24) 4, our answer to inflation, - which means money buying
less, is to do our jobs better and make more money. (OODs 19 Aug
72) 5. an increase in the volume of money and credit relative to
available goods resuLting in a substantial and continuing rise in
the general price level. In other words if there is too much money
and too few goods you will have inflation. This is the standard
economic definition of the word. In other words, it's quite beyond
all these people to solve their current "money crisis" with a
sample idea of increasing production in order to handle inflation.
(OODs 27 Nov 71)
INFLATION, COST-PUSH, a price increase due to an increase in
production costs caused by an unstable economic environment. This

279
INFO FAILURE, (information failure) a type of dev-t where those

INFORMATION BOARDS, these boards are for the posting of
information relating to the exact job. For example, the Admin Board
may contain instructions on how to write letters, the Training
Board may show schedules of classes, etc. These information boards
may contain personal notes, advertising of cafes, rooms, and other
such data. Nothing posted on these boards can be considered
official for the whole organization and none but the staff to which
they apply can be held responsible for not having read them. They
are in essence the voices of department heads within their
department. (HASI PL 21 Apr 57)
INFORMATION PACKET, 1. an information packet is not just one
pamphlet all by itself. It is a packet containing several pieces.
These could be a short punchy article designed to Increase the
person's interest and cause him to reach more, a book flyer, and a
book order form. (HCO PL 15 Aug 66) 2. the idea with information
packs is to see the right service to the right public and make
people reach for and buy the service/item that is being offered
them. An information peek no matter what type, must contain several
pieces.
280
Example: a letter, flyer and order form and return address
envelope, or, questionnaire, short punchy article designed to
increase the person's interest on the subject he is being
questioned about, order form and return address envelope. As a
personal touch, an information pack must always give the receiver
the name and post of the terminal at the org to contact. The rule
with information packs is one service-made information pack.
Serving too many items could result in confusion for the receiver,
who becomes ARC broken and won't buy a thing. (BPL 20 May 72R) 3.
packages made up and mailed by the Letter Registrar for newly
interested people whose names have been received. Special
information packages are made up and mailed by the Letter Registrar
to inform various sections of her mailing list on the next service
they might be interested in, having already done something. There
could be a Book Info Packet for a person who has just bought a
book, a Test Info Packet for a person just tested, a PE Info Packet
for the person who has just done a PE, etc., eta. In each case it
offers the next service. (HCO PL 4 Feb 61) Abbr. Info Pack.
INFORMATION STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL, the process of storing large
amounts of information in various ways as in computerization and
being able to retrieve or bring it back into play again as needed.
INFRACTION SHEET, 1. any infraction against the Training Course
Rules and Regulations will result in the student being required to
write a paper of 200 words getting off his overts and withholds
against any and all students, instructors and personnel connected
with the courses. (HCO PL 22 Nov 61) [The above HCO PL was
cancelled by BPL 10 Oct 75 III.] 2. infractions for breach of
auditing regulations may be recommended by instructors but may be
given only by the Course Supervisor; the procedure being for the
instructor to pass the Infraction Sheet to the Course Supervisor
for decrease, increase, cancellation or delivery to the student for
the student's compliance. Penalties are as follows: (a) failure to
comply with instructions which failure might have resulted in
slowing or worsening a case: 200 to 500 word Infraction Sheet. (b)
departure from standard operating procedure SHSBC in any unit: 200
word Infraction Sheet to 2 weeks in Unit W. (c) worsening or
drawing-out the auditing on a case: 2 weeks in Unit W to Being Sent
Down. (d) accumulation of 5,000 words in infraction Sheets, in
which 2 weeks re-assignment to Unit W shall constitute 1,500 words:
no classifications during current course. (HCO PL 11 Feb 63) 3. all
course infractions hence forward will be given solely upon
technical matters and results. Example: the student has "passed" an
HCOB and does not seem to be able to apply it in a session. The
cause of the infraction will be because the student is supposed to
know it and doesn't and because the student could not make it work.
The subject of the infraction will be that material required, and
various allied matters. (HCO PL 2 Apr 64) 4. the disciplinary
weapon is the Infraction Sheet. An auditing supervisor does not
give these out for bad auditing, however. He gives these out only
for infractions of the rules of the Academy, including a refusal to
follow his auditing directions. Bad technical is handled by pink
sheet and gross auditing errors. (HCO PL 21 Oct 62)
INFRASTRUCTURE, service structures such as housing, schools,
roads and air terminals which while they are indicative

crime. (SH Spec 51, 6109C07) 2. injustice is usually a wrong target
out-point. Arrest the drug consumer, award the drug company would
be an example. (HCO PL 19 Sept 70 III) 3. failure to administer
existing law. (PAB 96) 4. something that is not just, which of
course is rot fair handling and rot due reward and not good
treatment. That's injustice. (7204C11 SO)

INQUIRIES, persons who inquire. Inquiries come from people
answering advertisements, by people who have heard of Dn or Scn
from other people, and who then inquire, and (the weakest
classification in inquiries) referred names, by which is meant
names which are simply referred to the organization as being
interested. (HCO PL 7 Jan 64)

prospective customer asking for information on then products or
services, or requesting a copy of their catalogue. 2. in law, a
close examination of a matter in order to discover pertinent

INSANE, 1. the insane are just one seething mass of overt acts
and withholds. And they are very physically sick people. (HCO PL 4
Apr 72) 2. the most resistance you get toward being cured by anyone
is an insane person. An insane person will resist being cured
harder than anybody ever heard of because he knows everybody is
Martians and they're all out to get him, he knows there's no help
and so on. And that's what makes him insane. (FEBC 3, 7101C13 SO
II) 3. having been committed to a public or private institution for
the insane. (BPL 19 Nov 71R) 4. having been pronounced insane by a
psychiatrist or being incapable of any responsibility for social
conduct. (FCPL 6 Oct 58)
INSANE ACTS, given some know-how or picking it up by observation,
sane people make things go right. The insane reman ignorant
intentionally or acquire know-how and make things go wrong. Insane
acts are not unintentional or done out of ignorance. They are
intentional, they are not "unknowing dramatizations." So around
insane people things go wrong. One cannot tell the difference
really between the sane and insane by behavior. One can tell the
difference only by the product. The product of the sane is
survival. The product of the insane is an overt act. As this is
often masked by clever explanations it is not given the attention
it deserves. The pretended good product of the insane turns out to
be an overt act. (HCO PL 30 Dec 70)
INSANE CASE, the long run look at the insane ease shows very poor
chances. His brain and nerves are damaged by excessive drugs, shock
and convulsions which the "psychiatrist" introduces as "treatment."
Such a case can actually only be handled under institutional
conditions and then mostly to give the person rest and security.
Insane oases are made. We recently tried to recall one income case
who had not become so by modern
281
"treatment." We could not fund even one insane case had not been in
psychiatric hands. So, such cases seem to be modernly made. What is
called "insanity" is actually a pain crazed condition. This would
normally pass off. Insanity and injury to "treat" it only conform
it nod we get an apparently insane" person. Psychiatric treatment
of a person not already in a weakened depressed condition would be
bad but would not result in "insanity." A Pam crazed person then so
treated is very hard to fish out of the mess. (LRH ED 67 INT)
INSANITY, 1. (legal definition of) "the inability to tell right
from wrong." (OODs 12 Mar 75) 2. evil purpose is the cause of
insanity and that's caused by an R/S. The cause of insanity is not
a "germ" that causes "mental illness" in somebody's brain. That is
not the cause of insanity. It is not the second dynamic. It is not
because someone was interfered with as a little child. It is not
because one is fixated on panties. Insanity - pure, unadulterated
insanity is an evil purpose. Now anybody's got some nasty purposes
but the person who is really insane, reality is riding that one,
boy! They're nutty as fruit cakes and it doesn't matter how
competent they are or how incompetent they are. (ESTO 10, 7203C05
SO II) 3. a refusal to allow others to be, do or have. Insanities
have as their end product, self or group destruction. (HCO PL 14
Dec 70) 4. the overt or covert but always complex and continuous
determination to harm or destroy. (HCOB 28 Nov 70) 5. the five
primary illogics or out-points as we call them are of course the
anatomy of Insanity. (HCO PL 19 May 70) 6. insanity isn't an
illness. It's an injury. When more injuries called "treatments" are
piled on top of it, it becomes very bard to treat just because the
person is now desperately injured. He hurts. His nerves as physical
structures carry only hurt messages. So he is enturbulated. It's
the same thing trying to process a man in agony from a car injury
and trying to process an "insane" person. You can't really get
their attention until they cool down. (LRH ED 67 INT) 7. what is
called "insanity" is actually a pain crazed condition. This would
normally pass off. Brutality and injury to "treat" it only confirm
it and we get an apparently "insane" person. Psychiatric treatment
of a person not already in a weakened depressed condition would be
bad but would not result in "insanity." A pain crazed person then
so treated is very hard to fish out of the mess. (LRH ED 67 INT) 8.
the actual pout between where a person who is sane goes thereafter
insane is a very precise pout, and it's when he begins to stop
something, and at that moment, he is insane. Now he Is insane on
that
282
one subject at first, and then he can get another idee fixe and
become insane on another subject, and you do get cumulative
insanity, but there is no doubt of his insanity on that one
subject. (6711C18 SO) 9. an insanity is just total unreasonability.
(6711C18 SO)
INSECURITY, insecurity is unknownness. When one is insecure, he
simply doesn't know. He is not sure. Men who know are secure. Men
who don't know believe in luck. One is made insecure by not knowing
whether or not he is going to be sacked. Thus be worries. And so it
is with all insecurity. Insecurity exists in the absence of
knowledge. (POW, p. 16)

supposed to be doing on that post. Instant hatting: Tell him to get

do is give him a mini hat. (FEBC 6, 7101C23 SO II) 2. staff at the

INTRODUCTION AND INDOCTRINATION, consists of testing,
introductory lectures, film and tape plays, events using
demonstrations that effectively introduce the public to and
demonstrate the workability of Dn and Scn. These activities get the
public interested enough to buy something. All these things are

INTRO SESSIONS, the intro session first came into existence as

Dissemination Manual often referred to as the "Thomas Package" came
out in '71. It gave a simple few minutes pinch-test action on the
meter from one specially assigned personnel for five dollars. They
were unfortunately called intro sessions. This developed into
actual sessions as the alter-is increased and C/Ses not know what
an Intro Session was (it not being in any HCOB) started C/Sing ruds
flying, etc. and whatever they logically conceived. This service is
an illegal service. It is off-policy per HCO PL 28 September 1971,
Sexing aped Delivering Auditing. No sale of intro sessions at any
time by anyone is OK. (FBDL 430)
INTROVERSION, looking in too closely. An introverted personality
is only capable of looking inward at himself. The person who is
introverted is a person who has probably passed exhaustion some way
back. He has had his attention focused closer and closer to him
(basically by old injuries which are still capable of exerting
their influence upon him) until he is actually looking inward and
not outward. He is shying away from solid objects. He does not see
a reality in other people and things around him. (POW, pp. 92-93)

1971R, Int Rondos in Correction List Revised. As
interiorization-exteriorization problems (when they exist) have to
be handled before any other thing is handled, an auditor sometimes
assesses another list and then finds himself doing this list. "Int"
appears on many other lists and when it reads, one does this bet.
One has to go back and complete the original list of course. "Int"
problems cause high TA, headaches and general upset. (LRH ED 257

INVERTED PYRAMID, the news story has two parts, the lead which
quickly tells what has happened, and the body which documents the
lead. The oldest form and the most widely used is the inverted
pyramid. In this form the facts are presented in the top, which
takes the head and attracts attention. After that the paragraphs
are arranged in diminishing order of news importance. Frequently
the story will be chopped off starting at the bottom, according to
space and the editor. (BPL 10 Jan 73RI
INVESTIGATION, 1. the careful discovery and sorting of facts.
Without good investigation we don't have justice, we have random
vengeance. Investigation must always be aimed at the specific
person, the time and the place. Else you'll sink in a morass of
generality and get nowhere. (HCO MOn 2. if an organization is
folding up, or becoming less able to make things go, then the
effort to stop things is greater than the effort to make them go.
This being the case, and because one is dealing with an insanity,
any effort to find reasonable explanations will fail. So you're
looking for things which are totally unreasonable because an
insanity is total unreasonability. Therefore, your investigation
must proceed along the lines of what you don't understand and
you'll arrive with the stopper. That is very condensed but that is
it. (6711C16)
INVESTIGATORY REPORTING, this type of reporting is the unearthing
of wrong doings and their expose. The results are presented as news
with some interpretation. If the paper has comment, it runs on the
editorial page. (BPL 10 Jan 73R)

IRREDUCIBLE MINIMUM, 1. when an organization or its posts operate
only on an irreducible minimum, production goes bad and delivery
crashes. Take a cook who has his post at an irreducible minimum.
Food is appearing on the table. If he reduced just one bit more the
food would no longer be edible at all. He neglects purchasing,
menus and preparation. That these occur is invisible to the diners.
That food appears on the table is visible to the diners. If the
cook operates at any less than he is, no edible food would be
visible - hence, irreducible minimum The food served will be bad.
But it will be visible. Invisible-to-the-diners actions aren't
being done. To improve the food, get the less visible actions done.
Get the sequence of actions all done. (HCO PL 14 Dec 70) 2. the
principle of the irreducible minimum of a post. A post tends to
reduce to only its visible pouts. In other words, all of the hidden
or not too visible actions or which is to say, the preparatory
actions that make a good product tend to drop away from a post and
tend to drop away from an org. You will wind up with the
irreducible minimum and that is merely the visible. (FEBC 1,
7011C17 SO)
IRREGULAR SCHEDULE STAFF AUDITOR, audits all irregularly
scheduled pcs. (HCO PC 24 Mar 61 II)
IRRELEVANT INFORMATION, this form of dev-t can also take the form

opposite of this of course is failure to inform one's senior of
relevant data. (BPL 30 Jan 69)
