Scientology terms use a good nondinky dictionary.


SCIENTOLOGY:

An applied religious philosophy developed by L. Ron Hubbard 
dealing with the study of knowledge which through the application 
of its technology can bring about desirable changes in the 
conditions of life.

(Taken from the Latin word scio, which means "knowing in the 
fullest sense of the word," and the Greek word logos, meaning 
"study of."

The study of the human spirit in its relationship to the physical 
universe and its living forms. A religious practice applying to 
Man's spirit and his spiritual freedom.

A body of knowledge which, when properly used, gives freedom and 
truth to the individual.

AUDITING:

Processing, the application of Scientology (or Dianetic) 
processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. The 
exact definition of auditing is the action of asking a preclear a 
question (which he can understand and answer), getting an answer 
to that question and acknowledging him for that answer.

AUDITING SESSION:

A period in which an auditor and preclear are in a quiet place 
where they will not be disturbed. The auditor gives the preclear 
certain and exact commands which the preclear can follow.

AUDITOR:

A person trained and qualified in applying Scientology and/or 
Dianetic processes and procedures to individuals for their 
betterment; called an auditor because auditor means "one who 
listens." An auditor is a minister of the Church of Scientology.

CLEAR:

A Clear is a being who no longer has his own reactive mind. (Ref. 
HCOB 14 Dec. 81, THE STATE OF CLEAR)

A being who is unrepressed and self- determined. (Ref: Book: 
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, Book One, Chapter 
Two)

The power of auditing is such that the State of Clear is now 
achieved by many through the refined technology of New Era 
Dianetics (NED), delivered by all service organizations of the 
Church of Scientology. Any person who does not go Clear on NED 
has another chance to achieve it on the Clearing Course at an 
Advanced Organization of the Church of Scientology.

PRECLEAR:

From pre- Clear, a person not yet Clear; generally a person being 
audited, who is thus on the road to Clear; a person who, through 
Scientology and Dianetic processing, is finding out more about 
himself and life. Abbreviation: pc.

THETAN:

From THETA (life static), a word taken from the Greek symbol or 
letter: theta, traditional symbol for thought or spirit. The 
thetan is the individual himself-not the body or the mind. The 
thetan is the "I"; one doesn't have or own a thetan; one is a 
thetan.

It is the person himself - not his body or his name, the physical 
universe, his mind, or anything else; that which is aware of 
being aware; the identity which is the individual.

MIND:

A communication and control system between the thetan and the 
physical universe. It is not the brain. The mind is the 
accumulated recordings of thoughts, conclusions, decisions, 
observations and perceptions of a thetan throughout his entire 
existence. The thetan can and does use the mind in handling life 
and the physical universe.

BODY:

The organized physical composition or substance of an animal or 
man whether living or dead.

The body is the thetan's communication center. It is a physical 
object. It is not the being himself.

PICTURE:

An exact likeness of something; a copy or representation of a 
thing, not the thing itself. An image or mental image of 
something.

MENTAL IMAGE PICTURE:

Mental picture; a copy of one's perceptions of the physical 
universe sometime in the past.

A facsimile or a mock-up. In Scientology we call a mental image 
picture a facsimile when it is an unknowingly created picture or 
"photograph" of the physical universe sometime in the past. We 
call a mental image picture a mock-up when it is created by the 
thetan or for the thetan and does not consist of a photograph of 
the physical universe.

Facsimiles, made up of mental energy, are the pictures contained 
in the reactive mind.

REACTIVE MIND:

Reactive bank. The portion of the mind which works on a stimulus-
response basis (given a certain stimulus it will automatically 
give a certain response) which is not under a person's volitional 
control and which exerts force and power over a person's 
awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions.

It consists of locks, secondaries, engrams and chains of them and 
is the single source of human aberrations and psychosomatic ills.

ENGRAM:

A mental image picture which is a recording of a time of physical 
pain and unconsciousness. It must by definition have impact or 
injury as part of its content.

SECONDARY:

A mental image picture of a moment of severe and shocking loss or 
threat of loss which contains misemotion such as anger, fear, 
grief, apathy or "deathfulness." It is a mental image recording 
of a time of severe mental stress. It may contain 
unconsciousness. Called a secondary because it itself depends 
upon an earlier engram with similar data but real pain.

LOCK:

A mental image picture of nonpainful but disturbing experiences 
the person has experienced. A lock depends for its force on 
secondaries and engrams. It is an analytical moment in which the 
perceptics of the engram are approximated, thus restimulating the 
engram or bringing it into action, the present time perceptics 
being erroneously interpreted by the reactive mind to mean that 
the same condition which produced physical pain once before is 
now again at hand.

The reactive mind never stops operating. Pictures of the 
environment, of a very low order, are taken by this mind even in 
some states of unconsciousness.

The reactive mind comprises an unknowing, unwanted series of 
aberrated computations which bring about an effect upon the 
individual and those around him. It is an obsessive strata of 
unknown, unseen, uninspected data which are forcing solutions, 
unknown and unsuspected, on the individual -which tells you why 
it remained hidden from Man for so many thousands of years.

BANK:

A colloquial name for the reactive mind. The mental image picture 
collection of the pc. It comes from computer technology where all 
data is in a "bank."

COMMUNICATION CYCLE:

A completed communication, including origination of the 
communication, receipt of the communication, and answer or 
acknowledgment of the communication. A communication cycle 
consists of just cause, distance, effect, with intention, 
attention, duplication and understanding.

AUDITING COMM CYCLE:

(HCOB 30 Apr. 71) This is the auditing comm cycle that is always 
in use:

1. Is the pc ready to receive the command? (appearance, presence)

2. Auditor gives command /question to pc (cause, distance, 
effect).

3. Pc looks to bank for answer.

4. Pc receives answer from bank.

5. Pc gives answer to auditor (cause, distance, effect).

6. Auditor acknowledges pc.

7. Auditor sees that pc received acknowledgment (attention).

8. New cycle beginning with (1).

CHARGE:

The stored quantities of energy in the time track; stored energy 
or stored or recreatable potentials of energy. The electrical 
impulse on the case that activates the meter. Harmful energy or 
force accumulated and generated in the reactive mind, resulting 
from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has 
had.

MENTAL MASS:

Mental mass is the mass contained in the mental image pictures 
(facsimiles) in the reactive mind. It has weight; very tiny, but 
it has weight, and it actually has size and shape and so forth. 
Its proportionate weight would be terribly slight compared to the 
real object which the person is making a picture of.

KEY-IN:

Verb: The action of recording a lock on a secondary or engram.

Noun:	The first time an engram is restimulated is called a key-
in. A key-in is merely a special kind of lock, the first lock on 
a particular engram.

A moment when the environment around the awake but fatigued or 
distressed individual is itself similar to the dormant engram. At 
that moment the engram becomes active. It is keyed-in and can 
thereafter be dramatized.

KEY-OUT:

Verb:	An action of the engram or secondary dropping away without 
being erased.

Noun:	The person without knowing what the earlier instance was 
has had the lock vanish. That's a key-out.

Adjective: Released from the stimulus-response mechanisms of the 
reactive mind.

Release or separation from one's reactive mind or some portion of 
it.

RELEASE:

Noun:	One who knows he or she has had worthwhile gains from 
Scientology processing and who knows he or she will not now get 
worse.

A person who has been able to back out of his bank. The bank is 
still there but the person isn't sunk into it with all its 
somatics and depressions.

A series of gradual key-outs. At any given one of those key-outs 
the individual detaches from the remainder of his reactive bank.

REHABILITATE (Rehab):

To restore to a former capacity or condition. In auditing, this 
means to do the series of actions in session which result in 
regaining a state of Release for the pc.

POSTULATE:

A conclusion, decision or resolution made by the individual 
himself-, to conclude, decide or resolve a problem or to set a 
pattern for the future or to nullify a pattern of the past.

We mean, by postulate, a self-created truth. A postulate is, of 
course, that thing which is directed desire or order or 
inhibition or enforcement on the part of the individual in the 
form of an idea.

Postulate means to cause a thinkingness or consideration.

COGNITION:

A pc origination indicating he has "come to realize." It's a 
"What do you know? I..." statement. A new realization of life. It 
results in a higher degree of awareness and consequently a 
greater ability to succeed with one's endeavors in life.

FLOATING NEEDLE:

A floating needle is a rhythmic sweep of the dial at a slow, even 
pace of the needle.

It is always accompanied by good indicators or very good 
indicators in the pc. (Ref. HCOB 10 Dec. 76RB, C/S Series 99RB, 
SCIENTOLOGY F/N AND TA POSITION; HCOB 21 July 78, WHAT IS A 
FLOATING NEEDLE?)

RUDIMENTS:

First principles, steps, stages or conditions. The basic actions 
done at the beginning of a session to set up the pc for the major 
session action; ARC breaks, PTPs, withholds.

A rudiment is that which is used to get the pc in shape to be 
audited in that session.

AFFINITY:

Degree of liking or affection or lack of it.

The feeling of love or liking for something or someone.

Affinity is a tolerance of distance. A great affinity would be a 
tolerance of or liking of close proximity. A lack of affinity 
would be an intolerance of or dislike of close proximity. 
Affinity is one of the components of understanding; the other 
components being reality and communication.

REALITY:

Reality is an agreement as to what is. It is not what the 
individual thinks reality is; it is what the majority agrees it 
is. It is the solid objects, the real things of life. It is the 
agreement upon perceptions and data in the physical universe. 
Reality is what is. It is one of the components of understanding.

COMMUNICATION:

The interchange of ideas or objects between two people or 
terminals. More precisely the definition of communication is the 
consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from 
source point across a distance to receipt point, with the 
intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a 
duplication of that which emanated from the source point. The 
formula of communication is cause, distance, effect, with 
attention and duplication. Communication by definition does not 
need to be two-way. Communication is one of the component parts 
of understanding.

ARC:

A word formed from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality and 
Communication, which together equate to Understanding. It is 
pronounced by stating its letters, A-R-C. To Scientologists it 
has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness.

ARC BREAK:

A sudden drop or cutting of one's affinity, reality or 
communication with someone or something. It is pronounced by its 
letters A-R-C break.

Upsets with people or things come about because of a lessening or 
sundering of affinity, reality or communication or understanding.

PROBLEM:

A problem is a conflict arising from two opposing intentions. 
Anything which has opposing sides of equal force; it is 
postulate-counter-postulate, intention-counter-intention, 
terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It's one thing 
versus another thing. You've got two forces or two ideas which 
are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right 
there.

PRESENT TIME PROBLEM:

A specific problem that exists in the physical universe now, on 
which a person has his attention fixed.

Any set of circumstances that so engages the attention of the 
preclear that he feels he should be doing something about it 
instead of being audited.

0VERT:

An overt act is an act of omission or commission which does the 
least good for the least number of dynamics or the most harm to 
the greatest number of dynamics.

An aggressive or destructive act by the individual against one or 
more of the eight dynamics (self, family, group, mankind, animals 
or plants, mest, life or the infinite). That thing which you do 
which you aren't willing to have happen to you.

WITHHOLD:

An undisclosed harmful (contrasurvival) act.

A withhold is something the pc did that he isn't talking about. 
Any withhold comes after an overt.

MISSED WITHHOLD:

An undisclosed contrasurvival act which has been restimulated by 
another but not disclosed. This is a withhold which another 
person nearly found out about, leaving the person with the 
withhold in a state of wondering whether his hidden deed is known 
or not.

REPETITIVE PROCESS:

A process that is run over and over with the same question of the 
pc. We don't expect the auditor to do anything but state the 
command (or ask the question) with no variation, acknowledge the 
pc's answer and handle the pc origins by understanding and 
acknowledging what the pc said. A process which permits the 
individual to examine his mind and environment and out of it 
select the unimportances and importances.

FL0W:

A progress of energy between two points.

An impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses 
between terminals.

The progress of particles or impulses or waves from Point A to 
Point B.

The four flows used in processing are:

  F1, flow one, something happening to self

  F2, flow two, doing something to another

  F3, flow three, others doing things to others

  F0, flow zero, self doing something to self.

ASSESS:

To choose, from a list or statements, which item or thing has the 
longest read or blowdown. (In Dianetics it is choosing which item 
or statement has the longest read, blowdown or pc's interest. The 
longest read will also have the pc's interest.)

ASSESSMENT:

An action done from a prepared list. Assessment is done by the 
auditor between the pc's bank and the meter. The auditor looks at 
the meter while doing an assessment.

He just notes which item has the longest fall or blowdown.

Assessment isn't auditing; it is simply trying to locate 
something to audit. It is the whole action of obtaining a 
significant item from a pc.

EXAMINER:

Preclear Examiner. The person in a Scientology Church to whom 
preclears are sent immediately after any auditing session. The 
Examiner is assigned to the duties of noting the pc's statements, 
TA position and state of the needle and the pc's indicators, 
after session. He says nothing to the pc during this action; he 
simply records the necessary data and acknowledges the pc's 
statement if one is made.

The Examiner is also the person the pc sees when he wishes to 
volunteer information or make any sort of statement about his 
case between sessions or if there is something he wants handled 
regarding his case.
