Achilles' heel: a portion, spot, area or the like, that is especially or
solely vulnerable. In Greek mythology, Achilles was an illustrious Greek
warrior. He had been dipped in the river Styx (one of the mythological
rivers of Hell) by his mother, which rendered him invulnerable except in
the heel by which she held him. He was fatally wounded by an arrow in that
heel. All we had to do is have a few Achilles' heels and we would have had
it. - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

addendum: a word which normally means a thing added or to be added, but

Alexander the Great: Alexander III (356 - 323 B.c.), king of Macedonia, an
ancient kingdom located in what is now Greece and Yugoslavia. By conquest,

interesting, you see? - Running CCHs (22 June 61)

Alexandria: a seaport in northern Egypt, founded in 332 B.c. by Alexander
the Great; ancient center of learning. And in one year in Alexandria, the
Homoiousian sect of the Christians fighting with the Homoousian sect of the

spelled its name with an i, and one spelled its name without one. -

field." - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

American Medical Association: a professional physicians' organization,
established in 1847, with the stated purpose to promote public health,
protect the welfare of doctors and support medical science. The witness in

Psychiatric Association) and the American Medical Association. - Dealing
with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

American Psychiatric Association: an organization formed in the United
States in 1844, as the Association of Medical Superintendents of American
Institutions for the Insane, by thirteen superintendents of mental
hospitals. It later changed its name to American Psychiatric Association.

vested interests of psychiatrists. That was awful bad luck for the American
Psychiatric and the British Medical Associations. - Seminar, Question and

authorities down there, and the sanitation authorities, but the other type.

Arabic: a language consisting of numerous dialects that is the principal
language of Saudi Arabia and the surrounding countries as well as part of

done it or thought he had halfway done it or if he answered you in Arabic.
- CCHs - Circuits (27 June 61)

Arcturus: a very bright star in the northern sky. Counting them is
something on the order of the ensign going out and holding the sextant

been Arcturus. - Confront and Havingness - Routines 1, 2 and 3 (16 June 61)

Arslycus: an old civilization built in space, not on a planet, where a
being spent something like ten thousand lives doing the same job over and
over. When he died, he would return because a piece of his body was being
held in pawn, then he would be put in another body and put back on the same
job. Arslycus finally broke to pieces because it was too great a mass to
sustain itself Now, there's another phenomenon which occurs about the mind,
is every time a person has been hit hard by life - and he could be hit hard
because he has hit others, and he now gets the motivator for his overts and
so on - as soon as he's been hit hard, or as soon as he begins, as they did
in Arslycus, a program for coercing people into working harder... -

Athens: the capital of Greece in the southeast part of the country; named

cause an explosion of tremendous force, accompanied by a blinding light.
When they developed the atomic bomb, they did not use Einstein's theory. -
Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

atomic fission: the splitting of the nucleus of an atom into nuclei of
lighter atoms, accompanied by the release of energy. This is the principle
of the atomic bomb. He shouldn't have been writing Franklin Delano that he
could blow up Earth, which was in effect what he did, and then years
afterwards worked all he could possibly do and then gathered up all the
funds he could gather up to wipe out what he had done with atomic fission.

Australia: a continent southeast of Asia between the Indian and Pacific
Oceans. It is the smallest continent and is the only continent occupied by
a single nation. But we hear about "Scientologists are PDHing people in

that he cannot afford to publish, being published, saying so in the United
States. - Seminar: Auditing Speed (21 June 61)

opera; he was also a violinist and a renowned organist. A fellow by the

backf lash: an instance of something hitting or jumping back with speed and
force. So the upshot of all this is, is there is an unpleasant side to the

back to battery: (slang) an artillery term. A gun, after it fires, is said
to go out of battery, which is to say, it recoils. Then after it is fired
it is supposed to go back to battery, which is sitting the way you see them
in photographs. It is used as a slang term to indicate somebody who is now
fixed up; he will be all right for something, or what he has had will now
be over. Another case that was a total hang-up on the Third South African
came back to battery fast - I remember Suzie telling me, with what disgust,
that she had finally found this fellow's terminal. - Seminar - Question and
Answer Period (13 June 61)

overts against the body in full bloom. - Running CCHs (22 June 61)

blue moon, once in a: (informal) extremely infrequently, so rarely as to be
almost never. 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

caused from large volcanic eruptions. I catch myself doing it once in a
blue moon. - Raw Meat - Troubleshooting Cases (28 June 61)

Borneo: the world's third largest island located southwest of the
Philippines. Dense jungles and rain forests cover much of the mountainous

through the practice of meditation. Buddha is a title applied by Buddhists
to someone regarded as embodying divine wisdom and virtue. And if you don't
over and under - if you don't underwhelm him in reverse to all of the

valences and sits on Buddha's navel or something and regards his cloud
nine. - Seminar, Question and Answer Period (13 June 61)

and probably formed one of the primary bulks of research of people like
Charcot and Mesmer - these boys. - Not-Know (15 June 61)

a citizen out of you. - Running CCHs (22 June 61)

club, off the: without thought or calculation; impromptu. A variation of

loyalty, faithfulness, wisdom, rightness and self-cultivation. These

Confucius. - Not-Know (15 June 61)

Congo: a country in central Africa, on the equator: a former Belgian
colony, 1908 - 1960. Now called Zaire. And when I ask them for some
information, because we're so far flung, -it takes an awful unconscionably
long time to get something all the way down the Congo out through the
various pirates in the Congo now, such as the United Nations and Kennedy's
special emissaries, and so on, and it takes a long time to get here. -

June 61)

Crocker, Aunt Betsy: joking reference to Betty Crocker, a fictitious

crown jewels: the jewels which are the hereditary regalia (emblems of
royalty) of the crown or royal family of any country. But anyhow, an
expedition of this character does get a sort of a lonely activity, because
people always are smelling the idea that you might bring up the crown
jewels of Ophir, or something of the sort, and no telling what might
happen. - Running CCHs (22 June 61)

death chamber: a room in which condemned prisoners are executed. But being
kind and being ineffective, of course, is a fast way to the electric chair;

Not-Know (15 June 61)

the strains of "Dixie." - Seminar: Auditing Speed (21 June 61)

Dodecanese: a group of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea (an arm of the

Einstein: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), German physicist, US citizen from
1940: formulated the theory of relativity; awarded 1921 Nobel prize for
physics. See also Einstein theory in this glossary. You can take somebody
who is in fairly good shape, he'd have looked at even Einstein and said the
man is a raving lunatic. - Seminar: Withholds (14 June 61)

Einstein theory: the general theory of relativity, proposed in 1905 by
Albert Einstein. Although complete understanding of this theory requires a
knowledge of the most exotic branches of mathematics, these are some of its
basic points: (1) Time is not an absolute. The faster a body moves, the
slower its clock runs. A minute on Earth may pass in fifty-nine seconds or
sixty-one seconds on planets traveling at speeds different from that of
Earth. (2) The speed of light remains constant in all frames of reference.
Whether you are moving toward a light source or away from it, the light
will still reach you at the same speed (186,000 miles per second). (3) All
motion is relative. Therefore, there can be no such thing as absolute rest.
(4) Moving bodies acquire mass as they increase in speed. The faster a body
travels, the heavier it becomes. As a body approaches the speed of light,
it adds mass very rapidly. If it were to reach the speed of light, its mass
would become infinite. If this were true it could be seen that no body
could ever travel faster than the speed of light. The additional weight
acquired by an accelerating body would make penetration of the light
barrier impossible. (5) Mass and energy are mutually convertible. See also
Einstein in this glossary. But what is actually the history of the Einstein
theory out in the public? - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June
61)

electrodiathermy: medical treatment in which heat is produced beneath the
skin by a high-frequency electric current, radiation, etc., to warm or
destroy tissue. Why, I think if you put together all the electrodiathermy
machines that won't cure anybody out here in this ten-acre park, they'd
probably make an awfully nice mess of a mountain. - Dealing with Attacks on
Scientology (26 June 61)

was for many years the tallest building in the world. It is 1,250 feet high

State, "the Empire State." So if you wonder why Central Organizations don't
hire the Empire State Building or we're not flat out to make a totally
overwhelming ritual of it all, don't you see, that's all part of the same
picture. - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

Encyclopaedia Americana: the first noteworthy American encyclopaedia from

fire    drill, hangs up like: delays or stops in a confused mess. A fire drill
is a practice drill for a company of firefighters, the crew of a ship,
etc., to train them in their duties in case of a fire. Fire drill on most
ships is usually so bad it is a slang term for a confused mess. And those
withholds, when they come off - when the overt act has been overtly a

hangs up like fire drill! - Seminar: Withholds (14 June 61)

Freudian analysis: a system of mental therapy developed in 1894 by Sigmund
Freud (1856 - 1939), Austrian neurologist. It depended upon the following
practices for its effects: The patient was made to talk about and recall
his childhood for years while the practitioner brought about a transfer of
the patient's personality to his own and searched for hidden sexual
incidents believed by Freud to be the only cause of aberration. The
practitioner read sexual significances into all statements and evaluated
them for the patient along sexual lines. Each of these points later proved
to be based upon false premises and incomplete research, accounting for
their lack of result and the subsequent failure of the subject and its
offshoots. Also called psychoanalysis. Take Freudian analysis, for

Ophir: a country of uncertain location, possibly southern Arabia or the
eastern coast of Africa, from which gold and precious stones and trees were
brought for Solomon (king of Israel in the 10th century B.C.). But anyhow,
an expedition of this character does get a sort of a lonely activity,

happen. - Running CCHs (22 June 61)

Orphan Annie: a twelve-year-old orphan girl who was the main character of
Little Orphan Annie, a comic strip by Harold Gray. Annie was described by
Gray as having "a heart of gold, but a wicked left." She had a faithful dog
named Sandy and a guardian named Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks who was a
billionaire capitalist and defender of free enterprise, rugged
individualism and the Puritan ethic. In no sense comic, Little Orphan Annie
was a deadly serious work on the constant threats to the American way of
life posed by subversive elements ranging from simple crooks to blind
liberals to wily communists. Annie's life was one of adventure and intrigue
in which virtue fought evil at every turn. I don't care if you showed them
Little Orphan Annie sighing over the dog in just one pose on a nonmoving

Panamanian flag: a flag of convenience: a term applied to ships registered
in certain small countries, notably Liberia and Panama, by owners who are
not nationals of the countries, thus flying flags which do not represent
their true origin. Originally the practice started in order to evade
inspections and regulations but later came into use by the US particularly
out of necessity to increase commerce and naval power without the high
wages and conditions of US sailors (which cost five times as much as crews
from other countries). And almost ready to throw up my hands and fly the

panglossism: extreme optimism, especially in the face of unrelieved
hardship or adversity. It was characteristic of Dr. Pangloss, the old tutor
to the hero in the satire Candide, (subtitled "Optimism") by Voltaire
(French philosopher, poet, dramatist and author, 1694 - 1778). Dr.
Pan-gloss' great point was his incurable and misleading optimism which did
him no good and brought him all sorts of misfortune, but to the end he
reiterated "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." And
you can say it's all for the best in this best of all possible worlds, but

pea in the seven mattresses of the princess: a reference to The Princess
and the Pea, a story by Hans Christian Andersen, Danish author (1805 -
1875), where a prince insists on marrying a real princess. When a princess
comes to his door, maintaining that she is a real princess, the prince's
mother tests her by burying a pea under a huge stack of mattresses and then
ordering the princess to sleep on the mattresses. The princess cannot
sleep, and therefore passes the test: being a true princess, she is so
delicate that the pea keeps her awake. Like the little pea in the seven
mattresses of the princess, he is sitting down underneath all the layers of

Pilate, Pontius: the governor of the Jews at the time of the crucifixion of
Jesus (ca. A.D. 29); he was an official of the Roman Empire, to which the
Jewish nation belonged at that time. According to the Gospels, Pilate did
not consider Jesus guilty and wanted to release him. Under pressure from
the crowds in Jerusalem, however, Pilate sentenced Jesus to death on the
cross, having first washed his hands as a symbol of getting rid of his
responsibility for Jesus' fate. I imagine if anybody at all around Galilee
had bought the Nicene Creed, I'd imagine Pontius Pilate for - for a split

red     herring: something intended to divert attention from the real problem
or matter at hand; a misleading clue. Red herring is herring that has been
cured by smoke, a process that changes the color of the flesh to a reddish
hue. Its persistent odor is very useful, if trailed over the ground, for
training a dog to follow a scent. But a dog which gets a good whiff of red
herring will lose any other scent that it has been following. Criminals who
have been chased by bloodhounds have used this knowledge to advantage. Thus
the expression to drag a red herring over the trail and similar expressions
are used to refer to anything which misleads one or causes one to lose the
trail. But where we see the red herrings being pitched, the pc is very
often doing it against his will. - Question and Answer Period: Auditing

other in the University of George Washington was holding his job as the
Chair of Mathematics, simply because he was one of the twelve men in the
world who understood the theory of relativity. - Dealing with Attacks on

Third South African: short for Third South African Advanced Clinical
Course. See South African ACC in this glossary. Another case that was a
total hang-up on the Third South African came back to battery fast - I
remember Suzie telling me, with what disgust, that she had finally found
this fellow's terminal. - Seminar, Question and Answer Period (13 June 61)

'tisn't: (colloquial) shortening of it isn't. "Well, 'tisn't so much what
I've done to Mr. Stiffwhistle." - Seminar: Auditing Speed (21 June 61)

took his finger off his pc: a coined phrase meaning stopped watching the PC
closely, resulting in a blunder. A variation of lose one's number (or take
one's finger off one's number), with reference to a lottery number or some
other number by or with which one may be identified, as an army number. And
recently some chap out in California took his finger off his pc and
probably didn't flatten the process. - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology

transcendentalism: any philosophy based upon the doctrine that the
principles of reality are to be discovered by a study of the processes of

22nd American: short for 22nd American Advanced Clinical Course, which was
held in Washington, DC, from 2 January to 10 February 1961. You know you

whatsoever? They did it on the 22nd American, didn't you? - Sec Check

Tyre: an ancient seaport on the Mediterranean Sea, in what is now southwest
Lebanon. Though built on an island, Alexander the Great built a mole (a
structure built out into the sea as a breakwater or causeway) that has
since made the island a peninsula. And then you happen to find out that
Alexander the Great's Wall of Tyre is very interesting, you see? - Running

state, often one involving a deadline. So the literary quality of it is
what's under the gun. - Seminar: Withholds (14 June 61)

under the sun, moon and stars: on Earth; in the world. And that's something
you better put down because you'll have to tell everybody under the sun,
moon and stars this when you start saying, "Keep the rudiments in." - Raw

United Nations: an international organization with headquarters in New York
City, formed to promote international peace, security and cooperation under
the terms of the charter signed by fifty-one founding countries in San
Francisco in 1945. And when I ask them for some information, because we're
so far flung, it takes an awful unconscionably long time to get something
all the way down the Congo out through the various pirates in the Congo
now, such as the United Nations and Kennedy's special emissaries, and so
on, and it takes a long time to get here. - Confront and Havingness -

Venus: the sixth largest planet and most brilliant in the solar system,
second in distance from the sun. Counting them is something on the order of
the ensign going out and holding the sextant upside down in a bleary-eyed
way and shooting Venus when it should have been Arcturus. - Confront and

Vienna: capital of Austria, an important military and commercial center.
Freud studied and taught there. See also Freud in this glossary. And they
just gave him the yo heave, and they wouldn't have anything to do with him
and they just raised the devil down around Vienna and it just went on for
years. - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

Washington, DC: the capital of the United States. DC is an abbreviation for
District of Columbia which is a federal district that occupies the same
area as Washington, DC and is under the control of the federal government
directly rather than being a part of any of the states. Well, we don't have
Achilles' heels, so recently the Better Business Bureau of Washington, DC
wrote a letter, which is the most backwards letter anybody ever heard. -

Weather Bureau: the former name of the US National Weather Service,
responsible for the preparation of weather maps and weather forecasts. The
National Weather Service issues official warnings of natural disasters,
such as floods and hurricanes and supplies special information for
weather-sensitive activities, such as boating, flying and farming. We call
the Weather Bureau, and they give us a lot of calculations all based on the
rudimagoojits and the wingdings that are going whizzle-whizzle on top of
the mutt-wutt. - CCHs - Circuits (27 June 61)

West Indies: a large group of islands between North America and South
America in the North Atlantic. Actually, what you do is you take the sunny,
stormless period of the year (which is not necessarily summer, as anyone in
the West Indies will tell you), and, oh, you take a run down and get your
feet wet and let the diver get his hose snagged on the coral, you know, and
do what you got to do, survey it and lay it out. - Running CCHs (22 June

wet-and-dry-bulb reading: a reading from a psychrometer, a device
comprising two thermometers, one an ordinary thermometer (dry bulb) and the
other a thermometer in which the bulb is covered by a cloth sleeve which is
kept dampened (wet bulb). Because of the cooling effect of evaporation on
the wet bulb thermometer, it registers a lower temperature than does the
dry bulb thermometer, and the difference in these two temperatures shows
the amount of water the air can absorb and, conversely, the amount of water
vapor present in the air. Take out our wet-and-dry-bulb reading, you see,
and so forth, and get the whole thing straight and write it down. - CCHs -

whiff: a slight gust or puff of air, especially one conveying an odor. I
think they feed them the needle and the whiff all at the same time, and
then slap the ether on top of it. - Not-Know (15 June 61)

whip-curred: a coined expression meaning like a whipped cur (dog of mixed
breed, mongrel); defeated, outdone. So as a consequence, when you make up
your mind as to what the level or action or the pc's regard in a certain
direction should be, don't feel so whip-curred, see, because it's something
else. - Seminar: Auditing Speed (21 June 61)

whirling dervish: a member of any various Moslem orders of ascetics (ones
who lead a life of austere self-discipline, especially as an act of
religious devotion or penance), some of which employ whirling dances and
the chanting of religious formulas to produce a collective ecstasy. And
they'd be sitting there in session, and all of a sudden some wild, whirling
dervish would scream into the courtroom and say, "I'm a martyr! Execute
me!" - Not-Know (15 June 61)

white flags: white banners or cloths held up as a sign that one wants a
truce or is willing to surrender. And they just start running up little
dirty handkerchiefs, you see, as white flags and so forth. - Question and

wingding: (US slang) a party or celebration, especially a lavish or noisy

wood to knock on: a wooden object to hit in the belief that this will
prevent evil or misfortune. A variation of knock on wood. I haven't got any
wood to knock on particularly, but I do have a lot of faith on Scientology
and Scientologists. - Dealing with Attacks on Scientology (26 June 61)

woof and warp: (figurative) the underlying structure upon which something
is built; a foundation; base. Literally, the woof is the horizontal thread
in a woven fabric, and the warp is the vertical thread. Together they make
up the whole of a woven article. The paper and this sort of thing is now a
woof and warp of our existence, and it isn't even true. - Dealing with

Yankee Doodle: a popular American song, dating from the eighteenth century.
The early settlers of New York were Dutch and the Dutch name for Johnny is
Janke, pronounced "Yankee" and is most likely the origin of the term
Yankee. Doodle meant "simpleton" in seventeenth-century English. First sung
during the Revolutionary War by the British troops to poke fun at the
strange ways of the Americans (Yankees), the song was soon adopted by
American troops themselves. So if you go ahead and whistle "Yankee Doodle"
and give the Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, compounded with William Pitt's
lecture on the protection of colonies, what's this got to do with the CCHs?
