Från: FZBA Scandinavia Ämne: FZ Bible - Melbourne Congress 7/8 Datum: den 10 januari 2000 14:41 MELBOURNE CONGRESS - PART 7 OF 8 Brought to you by: FreeZone Bible Association of Scandinavia ========================================= CONTENTS Part 0: Introduction Part 1: Welcome Address Part 2: Recent Developments on OT Part 3: The Route Through Step Six Part 4: Importances Part 5: Valences Part 6: Final Lecture Part 7: Glossary (A-K) Part 8: Glossary (L-Z) ========================================= STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet. The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists. It misuses the copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom. They think that all freezoners are "squirrels" who should be stamped out as heretics. By their standards, all Christians, Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion. The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity. We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against. But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews, the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old testament regardless of any Jewish opinion. We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists. We ask for others to help in our fight. Even if you do not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose to aid us for that reason. Thank You, The FZ Bible Association ========================================= GLOSSARY (A-K) To assist in your understanding of these lectures, hard-to-find terms and other words which you may not be familiar with are included in this glossary. An example of usage from the lectures is included at the end of each definition. These definitions give only the meanings of the words as they are used in the lectures; this glossary is not meant as a substitute for a dictionary. A=A=A=A: anything equals anything equals anything equals anything. This is the way the reactive mind thinks, irrationally identifying thoughts, people, objects, experiences, statements, etc., with one another where little or no similarity actually exists. Everything is everything else. Mr. X looks at a horse knows it's a house knows it's a schoolteacher. So when he sees a horse he is respectful. See also reactive bank in this glossary. You look in Book One, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, you'll see A=A=A=A. - Valences (8 Nov. 59) ABBERRATED: affected by aberration. See aberration in this glossary. You get then, in an aberrated world, any overtly creative action being met in many quarters by destruction! - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59) ABERRATION: a departure from rational thought or behavior. Aberration means basically to err, to make mistakes, or more specifically to have fixed ideas which are not true. The word is also used in its scientific sense. It means departure from a straight line. If a line should go from A to B, then if it is aberrated it would go from A to some other point, to some other point, to some other point, to some other point, to some other point, and finally arrive at B. Taken in its scientific sense, it would also mean the lack of straightness or to see crookedly as, for example, a man sees a horse but thinks he sees an elephant. Aberrated conduct would be wrong conduct, or conduct not supported by reason. Aberration is opposed to sanity, which would be its opposite. From the Latin, aberrare, to wander from; Latin, ab, away, errare, to wander. And all unlawful activities actually stem from aberration, not from differences of opinion. - Importances (8 Nov. 59) ACC: abbreviation for Advanced Clinical Course, a theory and research course which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation. From 1953 to 1961 L. Ron Hubbard personally taught more than twenty ACCs. The 1st Melbourne Advanced Clinical Course started the day after the conclusion of this series of lectures. See also 1st Melbourne ACC in this glossary. "Excellent clearing at the ACC." - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) ACC, last US: the 21st American Advanced Clinical Course, given by L. Ron Hubbard in Washington, DC, 5 January - 13 February 1959. See also ACC in this glossary. And of course we had two ACC Instructors over here that when we were assessing people in the last ACC -- we were assessing people madly (last US ACC) to find out what was the most likely present time button they had. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59) AGLEY: (chiefly Scottish) awry; wrong. The only reason you ever see me let my name go up on doors in organizations and that sort of thing is because I had learned by August of 1950 that unless I was willing to take ownership for it, it would go all agley. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59) ALLIES: the countries of Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, the United States, etc., which fought against the Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan, etc.) in World War II (1939-1945). I finally figured out why the Allies won the war over the Japs: because the Jap high command was stupider than ours. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59) ALTER-is: the action of altering or changing the reality of something. Isness 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. Nineteenth century said that you had to write it all down in books, which is an alter-is. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) AMERICAN COLLEGE: short for American College of Personnel Efficiency, a Scientology organization at the time of this lecture that gave lectures on basic Scientology subjects and delivered auditing and training to public.

It later changed its name to American Psychiatric Association. It promotes the use of psychiatry, and seeks to protect and forward the vested interests of psychiatrists. We caused a fantastic amount of upset in Washington, DC by officially sending a representative from the HASI over to the American Psychiatric Association just to find out if they were being ethical according to our codes. - Importances (8 Nov. 59) ANCHOR POINTS: assigned or agreed-upon points of boundary, which are conceived to be motionless by the individual; those points which demark the outermost boundaries of a space or its corners. Get those anchor points back. - Valences (8 Nov. 59) ARC BREAKS: causes an ARC break with. An ARC break is a sudden drop or cutting of one's affinity, reality or communication with someone or something. Upsets with people or things (ARC breaks) come about because of a lessening or sundering (breaking apart) of affinity, reality or communication or understanding. It is 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. Or they just can't be audited by the auditor and the auditor is a very bad auditor and he ARC breaks them all the time and he's very bad and it's all bad over there and so forth. - Importances (8 Nov. 59) ARM: short for tone arm. See tone arm in this glossary. And you're sitting there and the tone arm is sitting at about 4.5 or 5.0 -- as the auditor -- and you just can't get this pc to talk and it's high arm and then you don't seem to get any facts out of the case and just can't seem to break it down and case making no progress and so forth. - Importances (8 Nov. 59) ARYAN: in Nazi doctrine, of a non-Jewish Caucasian (a member of the so-called "white race"), especially one with physical characteristics like those of the Scandinavians, such as blond hair, blue eyes, a long head, and above-average height.

For more information, see the Scientology Axioms in Scientology 0-8: The Book of Basics by L. Ron Hubbard. And one forgets that basically one has trem -- as many similarities to Joe as he has differences from Joe and never runs out, as-ises or does anything to those identifications, those similarities. - Valences (8 Nov. 59) ASSESS: do an assessment, the action of an auditor asking a series of questions of a preclear and noting reactions to them with an E-Meter. This helps to isolate specific areas or subjects on which a preclear has charge so that they can be addressed in auditing. See also charge in this glossary. And what you do is assess them for this-lifetime valences they've adopted by finding the greatest needle reaction on broad classes, like men, women, go up the dynamics, sort out all the possibles by broad classes and find some class that reacts on the needle more than others. - Valences (8 Nov. 59) ASSIST: a simple, easily done process that can be applied to anyone to help them recover more rapidly from accidents, mild illness or upsets. And one of the most spectacular things to do is to give somebody an assist immediately after they're injured. - Importances (8 Nov. 59) ASSOCIATION SECRETARY: the person who ran a Central Organization.

We want this balance sheet for the Association Secretary." - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) ASTERISKS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS: punctuation marks used in comic strips in place of swear words and profane language. You know, in the comic strips where they have asterisks and exclamation points in the balloons -- well, there's no reason to say that about society in general. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59) AUDIT: apply Dianetics and Scientology processes and procedures to someone. See also process in this glossary. They were using Book One to audit with and they'd simply open Book One, you see, and read it off to the preclear. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) AUDITING: another word for processing. See also processing in this glossary. And unless those conditions exist, you don't get any auditing done. - Importances (8 Nov. 59) AUDITOR: a person trained and qualified in applying Dianetics and/or Scientology processes and procedures to individuals for their betterment; called an auditor because auditor means one who listens. And it leaves Scientology with a job on it hands it never intended to have and didn't want and puts pressure on the line of dissemination and colors organizational actions, even colors the actions of individual auditors and so on, makes them hit pretty hard. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59) AUTHORS LEAGUE OF AMERICA: a professional organization of authors of books, magazine materials and plays, founded in 1912. In the first place we had our biggest ARC break in 1947 when I was writing, as a member of the Authors League of America, stories which would not fit themselves into the framework required by the officers and directors of the Authors League of America which was 100 percent, almost, Communist Party card-carrying members! - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59) AUTOMATICITY: a thing one is doing but is unaware or only partially aware he is doing; something the individual has "on automatic." An automaticity is something which ought to be under the control of the individual, but isn't. Just like that -- bang! -- automaticity. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59) BACK, OFF OF (ONE'S): (informal) stopped from bothering (one); removed as an annoyance or pest.... and I was their spokesman in an effort to get them and it off of my back and keep from inheriting the administrative burden, because I didn't have any idea of wanting to be the "famous person." - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59) BACK, TURNED (ONE'S): (informal) refused to take any notice of or give support to.

If you look on the backtrack you'll very often find, though, that what really upsets them is not being up -- it doesn't upset them to be buried. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59) BANK: the mental image picture collection of the preclear -- the reactive mind. It comes from computer terminology where all data is in a "bank." Just because myself and a half-dozen other people that were on the research lines and so forth didn't run into the solid bank phenomena, we went ahead and released it broadly. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) BASIC-BASIC: the first engram. of the first chain of engrams. See also engram in this glossary.

Examples of beingness would be one's own name, one's profession, one's physical characteristics, one's role in a game -- each or all of these could be called one's beingness. He's creating it less and less and then he decides he doesn't like it, so he'll alter-is it in some fashion or other to destroy his former beingness. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59) BLOOMER: (slang) a blunder; a goof. There are probably a half a dozen bloomers on public releases over the past nine or ten years, and I made every single one of them and corrected them afterwards and said so. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) BLUE MOON, ONCE IN A: (informal) extremely infrequently, so rarely as to be almost never. The expression comes from an unusual bluish tinge to the face of the moon, occurring very rarely, which has led some to call it a "blue moon." The bluish coloration has been attributed to atmospheric pollution such as that caused from large volcanic eruptions. Once in a blue moon - - I could say we make a mistake; I won't -- once in a blue moon I make a mistake; I take full responsibility for it. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) BOAT, MISS THE: (informal) miss the point of something; fail to understand something.

Over and under, over and under, and one eventually hits the target. In Scientology processing, a bracket is a series of questions or commands based on the number of ways or number of combinations in which something can occur. A bracket covers the potential directions of flow of an action as they relate to the preclear. Examples of the different flows that could be run in a bracket are: the individual doing the action himself, somebody else doing it, others doing it, the individual doing it to somebody else, somebody doing it to him, others doing it to others, etc. You could go around a five-way bracket, numerous questions. - Valences (8 Nov. 59) BRISBANE: (1) the capital and principal seaport of Queensland, Australia.

See also E-Meter and tone arm in this glossary.

It prevents accidental positive suggestion. A canceller is worded more or less as follows: "In the future, when I utter the word cancelled, everything which I have said to you while you are in a therapy session will be cancelled and will have no force with you. Any suggestion I have made to you will be without force when I say the word cancelled." And, I demonstrated it time and time again, did it often and -- and it was highly successful, and even today you can take Book One and open it up, as I have had somebody do, read the "canceller" or something on it, you know? - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59) CAPRI: a small, economy car manufactured by Ford Motor Company (a US automobile manufacturer founded in 1903 by Henry Ford).

These virtues he summed up in his ideal of the true gentleman, or "the princely or superior man." And the reason the communist had a China to break up, and the reason China never got up is because a fellow by the name of Confucius who could write -- not that I have anything comparable magnitude to that -- but this fellow laid down a code of right conduct! - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59) CONGRESS: an assembly of Scientologists held in any of various cities around the world for a presentation of Dianetics and/or Scientology materials.

Dianetics is a methodology developed by L. Ron Hubbard which can help alleviate such things as unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses.
