UNAWARENESS, a sort of blindness where the person looks like he
is looking but sees nothing. Degrees of this exist. Mr. A appears
to the observer to be noticing, smelling things and hearing whereas
he registers no sights, has a blind nose and tunes out all sound.

UNCLASSED ORG, get a small staff trained in technology at the
nearest org. Get the legal status of the org sound and regular, the
proper corporation qualified with the International Board Get some
modest quarters in a population dense area. Distribute books in the
area. Run a PE Course. Select persons to the nearest org. Get some
Scn groups formed in 'round about areas. Get in org accounting
policies as soon as operation starts so that it is easy to begin
books - the first gap of poor accounting can cause one trouble. AD

works mainly in the evening or weekends, perhaps only one on duty
daytimes. Use a rudimentary org board. (HCO PL 6 Feb 66)
UNCLEAR ORDERS, (form of dev-t) an executive giving an unclear

UNCONSCIOUSNESS, we are talking about unconsciousness meaning
just unconsciousness. You hit a guy on the head and he's
unconscious. Not Freudian, you know. Hit him in the head, he goes
out. Competence on any given subject is what a person is not
unconsciousness on. We merely mean "knocked in the head" on. And
those things he can't see, he is unconscious on. (ESTO 10, 7203C05

UNMATTED ORGANIZATION, an unhatted org is a madhouse to work in
as no one knows what he's supposed to handle or what others should
do. They don't go idle. They introduce Sahara sand storms of dev-t.

else. Bodies won't channel, correct materials won't arrive, money
can't get in or out, production is destructive and the place
unpleasantly goes insolvent. (HCO PL 27 Feb 72)

UNITS, 1. in 1965 the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course was
organized as follows. It was divided into four units, Unit A
covering Level 0. Unit B covering levels I and II. Unit C covering
levels III and IV. Unit D covering Level VI. (HCO PL 27 Feb 65) 2.
there are certain classes of auditors, there's Class Ia, Ib, Ic and
2a. These classes each connote certain types of auditing. Class Ia
has no auditing; Class Ib has some type of auditing. The
administration of the Academy depends upon the auditing
requirements more than the classes You get auditing something on
this basis, you have a class of auditor and that requires certain
checksheets, and you also have a unit and the auditor belongs to
that unit. So an individual auditor is actuary designated by his
class, which would be Class Ia, Class Ib, Ic or 2a. That's his
classification. What unit he appears in is determined by the
current auditing he is doing and these units are Unit W, X, Y and
Z. The unit in which he finds himself is doing certain auditing
actions and you well sometimes GAE somebody down from one auditing
activity to another auditing activity, and although he stir retains
the classes he has he's doing another type of auditing. (HCO PL 17

UNIT SYSTEM, proportionate pay. (HCO PL 10 Dec 68)
UNIT W. (an arrangement of the Academy) what unit he appears in
is determined by the current auditing he is doing and these units
are Unit W. X, Y and Z. The Ws are brand new students. They're
brand new and they don't do any auditing, nobody'd trust them near
an E-meter, and a W is involved basically in just studying the
fundamentals, just as undoubtedly you have it now. The number of Ws
you have are divided into A and B. and you get the WA then and the
WB unit. (HCO PL 17 Sept 62)
UNIT X, (an arrangement of the Academy) the Xs are the most
fundamental and the tiny bit of auditing they do - they do
something without any model session or something of this sort. They
go through some auditing motions, and they are divided into the XA
and XB, and that gives you your teams - A audits B and B audits A.
(HCO PL 17 Sept 62)
UNIT Y. (an arrangement of the Academy) your Y is doing something
on the order of a model session. They're doing something terribly
fundamental like finding a havingness process and doing a model
session. This is rather elementary type auditing but nevertheless
gives them practice in this line. (HCO PL 17 Sept 62)
UNITY OF COMMAND, the management concept that one person can have
only one senior to whom he reports.
UNIT Z. (an arrangement of the Academy) your Z is doing the
kingpin or the top activity that is done in the Academy, which is
in thus particular case, as we are dealing with HCA/HPA, a Problems
Intensive, and when they can do a Problems Intensive from one end
to the other of course that's your Class 2a auditor, but they're
auditing in Unit ZA and ZB. (HCO PL 17 Sept 62)
UNIVERSAL MEDIA PRODUCTIONS, once proficiency was attained in
stir photography, the Photoshoot Org expanded into other fields of
media, such as radio, television ads, billboards, cinematography
and video as well as continuing still photography. A new name was
picked to cover all the activities entered into, and the Photoshoot
Org became the Me& Org. Further expansion and planning has occurred
again, and another name was surveyed for that Scn, and as wed,
non-Scn publics could relate to. The new official name of the
Photoshoot Org/Me& Org is: Universal Media Productions. (SOED 570

UNLIMITED CERTIFICATE, at the end of this course, if certifiable
by all criteria, the student is granted a limited certificate,
printed in black and white, on which the words "Limited, Expires

service or material favors for field or friends. (HCO PL 13 Jan 69,
Unusual Favors)
UNUSUAL SOLUTION, 1. requests for authority to depart from the
usual are dangerous when okayed as they then set up areas of
difference and cause policy to wander and misfit at the joints.
Juniors who propose unusual solutions generally don't know the
policy or orders anyway. The proper thing to do is order a checkout
on the appropriate policy. (BPL 30 Jan 69) 2. abandonment of
standard tech in favor of unusual solutions. This is always present
when a collapse of tech occurs. An unusual solution is one evolved
to remedy an abuse of existing technology. (HCO PL 10 Feb 66 II)

UPSTATISTIC, 1. the purpose of the org is to get the show on the
road and keep it going. This means production. Every division is a
production unit. It makes or does something that can have a
statistic to see if it goes up or down. Example: a typist gets out
500 letters in one week. That's a statistic. If the next week the
same typist gets out 600 letters that's an up statistic. (HCO PL 1

URGENCY ORDERS, a senior comm member should not give direct
orders to his junior comm member on the A routing. Direct orders
may be given only with B routing and any direct order not following
B routing is off-line except in cases of extreme urgency as in the
case of books about to be shipped or a spanning pc. Such cases are
called urgency orders. An urgency order given an A routing must be
followed at once on slower channels (aur mad) by repeating it with
B routing through channels. (HCO PL 13 Mar 65 II)
URGENT, a form of cable. Urgent = costs twice ORD (ordinary)

URGENT DIRECTIVE, 1. a senior executive who discovers a situation
which may be disastrous to the org. Issues orders of a remedying or
preventive nature instantly by directive, to remain in effect until
all data is in. This is called an Urgent Directive. (HCO PL 31 Oct
66 I) 2. if an emergency situation develops, any member of that Ad
Conned could issue what Is called an Urgent Directive. It's
something that's got to be done right now, right now, it can't wait
till tomorrow. His directive is only good until a Board of
Investigation has investigated It and written a right directive. So
these emergency directions then have a tendency to be wiped out.
They have to be wiped out. (SH Spec 81, 6611C01)
USED INVOICES, those for which the service bought has been
delivered in full. (BPL 3 Jan 72RA I)

USING DEV-T AS AN EXCUSE TO CUT LINES, a type of devout. An
executive must ready know what dent is and really say what the
exact dev-t was in order to reject or handle dev-t. (HCO PL 27 Nov
69)
USING POLICY TO STOP, 1. they can do that by always applying the
wrong policy letter. AD you have to do is take the policy letter
that applies to A and instead of following that find another one
that doesn't really apply to A. But find something In it that can
be construed as to apply to this and they say "Wed you see we can't
do that." Policy was designed to tell people things they could do,
and when it tells them not to do something it's trying to put edges
on the channel so they won't go off of it. But what channel? The
channel of doing something right. Now if a fellow doesn't know the
policy that gives him the main channel and only knows the policy
that tells him to stop then you well get people using policy to
stop. (ESTO 11, 7203C06 SO I) 2. a person not doing his post
purpose well pick bits of policy out that seem to state the order
given cannot be followed. If you track down such a person's post
purpose you well find he or she hasn't got it and is using policy
to stop. (HCO PL 27 Feb 71 I)

where economics are concerned. A great deal of production can
occur, but if it is not exchanged for anything then a group can
become nonviable very rapidly. The group does not necessarily live
on what it itself produces. A group needs things in addition to
those things which it produces thus some of its own production must
be charged with society for the group to survive. (OODs 20 Nov 71)
VIABILITY OF THE ORG, 1. its economic survival including its
security from political enemy motivated attack. (HCO PL 23 Sept 70)

empowered to assume the presidency in case of illness or death of
the president.
VICTIM, the basic definition of victim must be, unwilling and
unknowing effect of life, matter, energy, space and time. (HCOB 5
Sept 69)
VICTIM PROCESS, in any overt act - motivator sequence there is a
villain and a victim. If the auditor were to choose and run the
"villain" then he would be violating the basic definition of
operating thetan which is "to be waling and knowing cause over
life, matter, energy, space and time," and would be processing the
pc at effect point. The basic definition of victim must then be, as
an HCO staff auditor pointed out, unwilling and unknowing effect of
hoe, matter, energy, space and time." Therefore, to keep the pc at
cause we have no choice but to process him ha a way as to face him
up to victim. A pc should be able to run, easily if lengthily on
"From where could you communicate to a victim?" (HCOB 3 Sept 59)

VITAL, things we can't operate without. (OODs 22 Jan 68)
VITAL INFORMATION, is vital because survival depends on it.
Examples Include: HCOBs, HCO PLs, books, tapes, course checksheets
and packs, hats, OEC volumes, LRH EDs and FOs and other issues,
Flag programs and EDs, stats, weekly reports, compliance reports,
situation reports, CSWs, evaluations, even dispatches that contain
important information that must be known. Also, an org requires
other vital data like accurate OF and addresses, up-to-date files,
broad, hardsell promotion and magazines, accurate accounts fees and
records, monthly statements, tech data that gives pc and student
results, word clearing and cramming results, a Qual library, broad
public dissemination and promotion to name a few. Data that is
vital must be relayed, must be made known without alter-is or
barriers. You can't survive without it. (HCO PL 19 Oct 74)
VITAL INFORMATION RUNDOWN, I have recently unearthed a widespread
aberration that underlies the withhold or obstruction of vital
information. It is, simply stated, dramatization of withholds. This
is not just the person with withholds, this is the person who
dramatizes withholds by preventing the relay, exposure or free
distribution of vital information. The Vital Information rundown is
the remedy for the dramatization of withholds. (HCO PL 19 Oct 74)
VITAL TARGET, under this heading comes what we must do to operate
at all. This requires an inspection of both the area one is
operating into and the factors or materiel or organization with
which we are operating. One then finds those points (sometimes
while operating) which stop or threaten future successes, and sets
the overcoming of the vital ones as targets. (HCO PL 16 Jam 69)

Science of Mental Health in 1950 which continues to do so today.
Surveys have been done in different parts of the world to determine
what people really want to handle on a personal level. The basic
tech for handling these problems has been compiled into a book
fully suitable for raw public. This book will be broadly
distributed on Scn and non-Scientology lines, bought by the man on
the street. He'll use some of the data, produce some miracles, save
a marriage or two, rescue some kid from drugs, help his next door
neighbor who's upset because her child's failing in school and
couldn't care less, plus brighten up her yawning of Spring and

quarter and station bill is incomplete unless it designates exact
duties on station as well as what part of the ship. It must also
designate where the person is berthed. It included every person's

WHISPERING CAMPAIGN, there are random individuals in the society
who do not understand very much. This is expressed as a sort of
malicious glee about things. Such pass on slanderous rumors very
easily. In a Literate society such people abound. Since they cannot
read, the bulk of knowledge is denied to them. Since they do not
know very many words much of what is said to them is not
understood. This is not isolated to the Literate only. What they do
not understand they substitute for with Imaginary things. Thus such
persons not only hasten to stander but also corrupt and twist even
it. Thus a rumor can go through a society that has no basis an
truth. When numbers of such rumors exist and are persistent, one
suspects a "whispering campaign." This is not because people
whisper these things but because like an evil wind it seems to have
no source. (HCO PL 21 Nov 72 I)

WHY IS GOD, THE, when beings operate mainly on illogics, they are
unable to conceive of valid reasons for things or to see that
effects are directly caused by things they themselves can control.
The inability to observe and find an actual usable why is the
down-fall of beings and activities. This is factually the why of
people not finding whys and listing them. The prevalence of
historical man's use of "fate," "kismet (fatalism)," superstition,
fortune teeing, astrology and mysticism confirms this. Having
forgotten to keep seed grain for the spring, the farmer starves the
following year and when asked why he is starving says it is the
gods, that he has sinned or that he failed to make sacrifice. In
short, unable to think he says "the why is God." (HCO PL 31 Jan 72)

WILL POWER, self-determinism is entirely and solely the
imposition of time and space upon energy Bows. Imposing time and
space upon objects, people, self, events, and individuals, is
causation. The total components of one's self-determinism is the
ability to impose time and space. His energy is derived from the
discharge of high and low, or different, potentials to which he has
assigned time and space. Dwindling sanity is a dwindling ability to
assign time and space. Psychosis is a complete inability to assign
time and space. This is, as wed, will power. (Scn 8-80, p. 44)
