SOMATIC MIND
  1. the mind that works in a purely stimulus response way, contains only actingness, no thinkingness, and can be used to set up certain physical machines. (HCO Info Ltr 2 Sept 64)
  2. that mind which, directed by the analytical or reactive mind, places solutions into effect on the physical level. (Scn 0-8, p. 65)
  3. this is an even heavier type of mind than the reactive mind since it contains no thinkingness and contains only actingness. The impulses placed against the body by the thetan through various mental machinery, arrive at the voluntary, involuntary, and glandular levels. These have set methods of analysis for any given situation and so respond directly to commands given. (FOT, p. 61)
  4. the somatic mind would be that mind which takes care of the automatic mechanisms of the body, the regulation of the minutiae which keep the organism running. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 233)
