ABERRATION
1:
a departure from rational thought or behavior. From the Latin, aberrare,
to wander from; Latin, ab,
away, errare,
to wander. It 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. When a person has engrams, these tend to deflect
what would be his normal ability to see truth and bring about an
aberrated view of situations which then would cause an aberrated
reaction to them. Aberration is opposed to sanity which would be its
opposite. From:
Games Congress

ADVANCED CLINICAL COURSE
1: one of a number of courses delivered during the years 1953 to 1961. Attended by experienced Scientologists, these courses were personally delivered by L. Ron Hubbard, where he lectured and supervised practical application of auditing techniques to free the spirit. From: Games Congress
ARC
1:
a word made from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality and
Communication, which together equate to Understanding. Affinity,
Reality and Communication are the necessary components to an
understanding of all Life and one's relationship to the Universe. Only
when one has achieved complete ARC with all things can one truly
understand the Creator and one's relationship to God. From:
Clearing Success Congress
ARC
BREAK
1:
a sudden drop in affinity, reality or communication. From:
State of Man Congress
2:
a sudden drop or cutting of Affinity (A), Reality (R) or Communication
(C) 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. From:
Clearing Success Congress
3:
shorthand for a sudden drop in affinity, reality and communication,
which is painful. It is just a sudden shock, you might say, of
interrupted affinity, reality and communication. From:
Melbourne Congress
AUDITING
1:
a special form of personal counseling, unique in Scientology, which
helps an individual look at his own existence and improves his ability
to confront what he is and where he is. Auditing is a precise,
thoroughly codified activity with exact procedures. Also called processing.
From:
State of Man Congress
2:
the application of Dianetics and Scientology processes to a person. A
process is a set of questions asked or directions given by an auditor
to help a person find out things about himself or life and to improve
his condition. From:
London Congress on Dissemination & Help
3:
the application of Dianetics and Scientology techniques (called
processes). Processes are directly concerned with increasing the
ability of the individual to survive, with increasing his sanity or
ability to reason, his physical ability and his general enjoyment of
life. Also called processing.
From:
London Congress on Human Problems
4:
the name for the Scientology practice which frees the person from
spiritual bondage bringing personal enlightenment and freedom, as a
spiritual being. Also called processing.

BANK (also REACTIVE BANK)
1:
used to describe a storage of information in the mind. A bank
is a storage device of a computer where data was once stored on a group
or series of cards called a bank. From:
Anatomy of the Spirit of Man Congress
2:
from computer terminology where a bank
was a storage device of a computer where data was once stored on a
group or series of cards called a bank. From:
Clearing Success Congress
From:
London Congress on Human Problems
3:
same as reactive mind.
As defined in Dianetics: The
Modern Science of Mental Health,
the reactive
mind
is that portion of the mind which files and retains physical pain and
painful emotion and seeks to direct the organism solely on a
stimulus-response basis. It thinks only in identities. From:
South African Anatomy Congress, Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress,
State of Man Congress
BEINGNESS
1:
condition or state of being. From:
Theta Clear Congress
2:
the condition of being
is defined as "the result of having assumed an identity." It could be
said to be the role in a game and an example of beingness could be
one's own name. Another example would be one's profession. Another
example would be one's physical characteristics. Each or all of these
things could be called one's beingness. Beingness is assumed by oneself
or given to oneself or is attained. For example, in the playing of a
game each player has his own beingness. From:
Clean Hands Congress
3:
the result of having assumed an identity. From:
Melbourne Congress
BRIDGE
1:
a reference to the bridge as described in Dianetics:
The Modern Science of Mental Health
that spans a chasm between a lower and a higher plateau between one
state of man and a next. From:
Games Congress
2:
communication
bridge,
a procedure in auditing which simply closes off the process the auditor
was running, maintains ARC and opens up the new process on which the
auditor is about to embark. From:
Success Congress
3:
1. a raised structure on a ship, usually in the forward part, from
which it is controlled while underway. 2. any of several card games

the raised deck or platform on a ship, usually in the forward part,
from which the ship is controlled while underway. From:
London Congress on Human Problems, London Clearing Congress
BRIEFING
COURSE
1:
the purpose of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course is to make the
auditors and instructors who make the auditors and instructors over the
world and to put the final polish on auditing.
BULL-BAITING
1:
in coaching certain drills, the coach attempts to find certain actions,
words, phrases, mannerisms or subjects that cause the student doing the
drill to become distracted from the drill by reacting to the coach. As
a bullfighter attempts to attract the bull's attention and control the
bull, so does the coach attempt to attract and control the student's
attention, however the coach flunks the student whenever he succeeds in
distracting the student from the drill and then repeats the action
until it no longer has any effect on the student. Taken from a Spanish
and English sport of "baiting" which means "to set dogs upon a chained
bull," but mainly "to attack or torment especially with persistent
insult, criticism or ridicule." Also "to tease."
BUTTON
1:
1. things in particular that each human being finds aberrative and has
in common. 2. that computation or foible or quirk of the human mind
which can be made right by merely touching one factor. This term comes
from the idea of pushing a button to activate something, as in an
electrical or mechanical device. From:
London Congress on Dissemination & Help

an item, word, phrase, subject or area that causes response or reaction
in an individual. This term comes from the idea of pushing a button to
activate something, as in an electrical or mechanical device. From:

3:
it is called button
because when you push it (say it) you can get a meter reaction. From:
Clearing Success Congress
4:
one of the things that each human being finds aberrative and has in
common. This term comes from the idea of pushing a button to activate
something, as in an electrical or mechanical device. From:
London Congress on Nuclear Radiation, Control and Health, Games Congress
5:
that computation or foible (weakness or silly habit) or quirk of the
human mind which can be made right by merely touching one factor. This
term comes from the idea of pushing a button to activate something, as
in an electrical or mechanical device. From:

Congress, Anatomy of the Spirit of Man Congress
CASE
1:
1.
the way a person responds to the world around him by reason of his
aberrations (departures from rational thought or behavior). 2.
a general term for a person being treated or helped, particularly one
who is being audited. From:
Melbourne Congress
2:
a general term for a person being treated or helped, particularly one
who is being audited. From:
Clean Hands Congress
3:
a general term for a person being treated or helped. It is also used to
mean the entire accumulation of upsets, pain, failures, etc., residing
in a person's reactive mind. From:
Clearing Success Congress
CCH
1:
a reference to a series of processes dealing with control,
communication and havingness.
The CCHs are several associated processes which bring a person into
better control of his body and surroundings, put him into better
communication with his surroundings and other people, and increase his
ability to have things for himself. They bring him into the present,
away from his past problems. From:
Melbourne Congress
2:
stands for Control, Communication and Havingness, a series of processes
which are fully described in the lectures of 7 July 1957, "CCH: Steps
1-4 Demo" and "CCH: Steps 5-7" in this lecture series. From:
Freedom Congress
CIRCUIT
1:
1. a part of an individual's bank that behaves as though it were
someone or something separate from him and that either talks to him or
goes into action of its own accord, and may even, if severe enough,
take control of him while it operates. 2. a system of electrical
components and wires forming a complete path around which an electrical
current can flow. From:
Anatomy of the Spirit of Man Congress
2:
a kind of a subsidiary valence. A circuit is a mechanism which modifies
a valence. A circuit is a solution to the realization that the valence
can often be wrong, so therefore needs dictation to or needs things
hidden from it. So you've got a circuit. And you set up a valence that
can think, allegedly, and then you set up a circuit to modify the
thinking of the valence. From:
Clearing Success Congress
3:
a part of an individual's bank that behaves as though it were someone
or something separate from him and that either talks to him or goes
into action of its own accord, and may even, if severe enough, take
control of him while it operates. From:
Ability Congress, Clearing Congress, Freedom Congress
4:
a pseudopersonality ( pseudo
means false, pretended) out of a facsimile strong enough to dictate to
the individual and be
the individual. See Dianetics:
The Modern Science of Mental Health.
From:
Success Congress, Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress
CLASSIFICATION,
GRADATION AND AWARENESS CHART
1:
the route to Clear, the Bridge. On the right side of the chart there
are various steps called the states of release. The left-hand side of
the chart describes the very important steps of training on which one
gains the knowledge and abilities necessary to deliver the grades of
release to another. It is a guide for the individual from the point
where he first becomes dimly aware of a Scientologist or Scientology
and shows him how and where he should move up in order to make it.
Scientology contains the entire map for getting the individual through
all the various points on this gradation scale and for getting him
across the bridge to a higher state of existence.
CLEAR
1:
an unaberrated person. He is rational in that he forms the best
possible solutions he can on the data he has and from his viewpoint. He
is called a "Clear" because his basic personality, his
self-determinism, his education and experience have been cleared of
aberrative engrams, secondaries and locks. See Dianetics:
The Modern Science of Mental Health
and Science of Survival.
From:
State of Man Congress
2:
the name of a state achieved through auditing or an individual who has
achieved this state. A Clear is an unaberrated person. He is rational
in that he forms the best possible solutions he can on the data he has
and from his viewpoint. He is called a "Clear" because his basic
personality, his self-determinism, his education and experience have
been cleared of aberrative engrams, secondaries and locks. From:
Freedom Congress
3:
to the state or condition of being a Clear--an unaberrated person. He
is rational in that he forms the best possible solutions he can on the
data he has and from his viewpoint. He obtains the maximum pleasure for
the organism, present and future, as well as for the subjects along the
other dynamics. The Clear has no engrams which can be restimulated to
throw out the correctness of computation by entering hidden and false
data into it. From:
London Congress on Human Problems
COMPARABLE
MAGNITUDE
1:
a datum can only be evaluated by comparison with another datum of
comparable magnitude. This means that the basic unit must, therefore,
be two. Comparable
means capable of being compared; having features in common with
something else to permit or suggest comparison. Magnitude
means relative size, amount, importance, extent or influence. From:
Melbourne Congress
CRACK
(EVERY) CASE
1: solve or unmistakably improve a case (and preclear is fully aware of
it). From:
Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress
CYCLE
OF ACTION
1:
reference to the cycle of action of life: creation, survival and
destruction. Survival could be said to be any change, whether in size
or in age or in position in space. The essence of survival is change.
Creation is starting. Destruction is stopping. From:
Theta Clear Congress
2:
the cycle of action is an apparency
as follows: create,
then survive,
then destroy;
or creation, survival, destruction. First there is creation. Then this
is followed by survival. Then this is followed by destruction. Apparency
= appears to be, as distinct from what actually is.
This cycle is only an apparency. It is what we see, what we behold,
what we believe. We consider that it is so and we then see it so. From:
Clearing Success Congress
3:
the cycle of action of this universe is start, change and stop. This is
also the anatomy of control. Almost the entire subject of control is
summed up in the ability to start, change and stop one's activities,
body and his environment. From:
Freedom Congress
DEADLY
QUARTET
these processes are four in number. They are designed as classes of
processes to handle these four points: (1) Help factor, (2) Control
factor, (3) pc Communication factor, (4) Interest factor. Unless these
four points are present in a session, it is improbable, in a great
number of cases that any real, lasting gain will be made. From:
London Congress on Dissemination & Help
DIANETICS
1:
Dianetics
means "through the mind" or "through the soul" (from Greek dia,
"through" and nous,
"mind" or "soul"). It is a system of coordinated axioms which resolve
problems concerning human behavior and psychosomatic illnesses. It
combines a workable technique and a thoroughly validated method for
increasing sanity, by erasing unwanted sensations and unpleasant
emotions. From:
State of Man Congress, London Clearing Congress
2:
from Greek dia
"through," and nous
"mind" or "soul"; what the soul is doing to the body. See Dianetics:
The Modern Science of Mental Health
and Science of Survival.
From:
Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress
DISSEMINATION
1: spreading or scattering broadly. By dissemination
in a Scientology organization we mean making broadly known the
materials, services and results of Dianetics and Scientology through
books, promotional material, letters, films or other media or
activities, including word of mouth. From:
Melbourne Congress
DYNAMIC
1:
active, energetic, effective, forceful, motivating, as opposed to
static. From:
Anatomy of the Spirit of Man Congress
2:
active, energetic, effective, forceful, motivating. From:
Melbourne Congress
3:
the dynamics are the urge to survive, expressed through a spectrum,
which is here given with eight divisions: (1) self, (2) sex and
children, (3) the group, (4) mankind, (5) life, all organisms, (6) the
material universe, (7) thought, spirit, (8) infinity or Supreme Being. From:
London Congress on Dissemination & Help
DYNAMICS
1:
the dynamics are the urge to survive, expressed through a spectrum,
with eight divisions. These are urges for survival as or through (1)
self; (2) sex, the family and the future generation; (3) groups; (4)
mankind; (5) life, all organisms; (6) matter, energy, space and time--
mest --the physical universe; (7) spirits; and (8) the Supreme Being.
The subject of the dynamics is contained in Science
of Survival. From:
Ability Congress, Freedom Congress
2:
there could be said to be eight urges (drives, impulses) in life. These
are motives or motivations. They are called the
eight dynamics. 1. The first
dynamic is the urge toward existence as one's self. Here we have
individuality expressed fully. 2. The second dynamic is the urge toward
existence as a sexual activity. This dynamic actually has two
divisions. Second dynamic (a) is the sexual act itself and the second
dynamic (b) is the family unit including the rearing of children. 3.
The third dynamic is the urge toward existence in groups of
individuals. Any group or part of an entire class could be considered
to be a part of the third dynamic. The school, the society, the town,
the nation are each part of the third dynamic and each one is a third
dynamic. 4. The fourth dynamic is the urge toward existence as or of
mankind. Whereas one race would be considered a third dynamic, all the
races would be considered the fourth dynamic. 5. The fifth dynamic is
the urge toward existence of the animal kingdom. This includes all
living things whether vegetable or animal. The fish in the sea, the
beasts of the field, or of the forest, grass, trees, flowers or
anything directly and intimately motivated by life. 6. The sixth
dynamic is the urge toward existence as the physical universe. The
physical universe is composed of matter, energy, space and time. In
Scientology we take the first letter of each of these words and coin a
word, mest . 7. The seventh dynamic is the urge toward existence as or
of spirits. Anything spiritual, with or without identity, would come
under the heading of the seventh dynamic. 8. The eighth dynamic is the
urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the
Supreme Being. This is called the eighth dynamic because the symbol of
infinity stood upright makes the numeral "8." Scientologists usually
call these by number. From:
Clearing Success Congress, London Congress on Human Problems, Melbourne
Congress, State of Man Congress
E-METER
1:
full name electropsychometer,
from electro
(electricity), psyche
(soul) and meter
(measure), an electronic device for measuring the mental state or
change of state of Homo sapiens. It is not a lie detector. It does not
diagnose or cure anything. It is used by auditors to assist the
preclear in locating areas of spiritual distress or travail. From:
Melbourne Congress, Clean Hands Congress

Ron Hubbard's English residence at the time of this lecture) is
located. From:
State of Man Congress
ENGRAM
1:
a mental image picture which is a recording of a moment of pain and
unconsciousness. This recording can be later brought into play by a
similar word or environment and causes the individual to act as though
in the presence of danger. They force the individual into patterns of
thinking and behavior which are not called for by a reasonable
appraisal of the situation. From:
South African Anatomy Congress, Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress
2:
a moment of "unconsciousness" containing physical pain or painful
emotion and all perceptions, which is not available to the analytical
mind (conscious, aware mind) as experience. It is a complete recording,
down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a
moment of partial or full "unconsciousness." From:
Theta Clear Congress, State of Man Congress, Anti-Radiation Congress,

FIRST
DYNAMIC
1:

individual, to obtain pleasures as an individual and to avoid pain. It
covers the general field of food, clothing and shelter, personal
ambition and general individual purpose. From:
London Congress on Human Problems
3:
the urge toward existence as one's self. Here we have individuality
expressed fully. This can be called the self
dynamic. From:
Ability Congress
GOALS
PROBLEM MASS
1:
the goal (of a preclear) has been balked for eons by opposing forces.
The goal pointed one way, the opposing forces point exactly opposite
and against it. If you took two fire hoses and pointed them at each
other, their streams would not reach each other's nozzles, but would
splatter against one another in midair. If this splatter were to hang
there, it would be a ball of messed-up water. Call Hose A the force the
preclear has used to execute his goal. Call Hose B the force the other
dynamics have used to oppose that goal. Where these two forces have
perpetually met, a mental mass is created. This is the picture of any
problem--force opposing force with resultant mass. Where the preclear's
goal meets constant opposition, you have in the reactive mind the
resultant mass caused by the two forces--goal = the force of getting it
done; opposition = force opposing it getting done. This is the Goals
Problem Mass. From:
Clearing Success Congress
2:

HAVINGNESS
1:
owning, possessing, being capable of commanding, positioning, taking
charge of objects, energies or spaces. The essential definition of having
is to be able to touch or permeate or to direct the disposition of.
Specific processes designed to increase the preclear's havingness are
referred to as Havingness.
From:
Ability Congress, Games Congress
2:
the concept of being able to reach. By havingness
we mean owning, possessing, being capable of commanding, taking charge
of objects, energies and spaces. Specific processes exist in
Scientology to help a preclear increase his havingness, and these are
appropriately called Havingness Processes. From:
Clearing Success Congress
HELP
1:
an act or instance of giving aid or support. Above 2.0 a person helps
and can be helped, providing, of course, the help is sincere and really
is help. Below this point help becomes betrayal. Help is not injurious.
Help is not the best way to hurt. Help is just help. From:
London Congress on Dissemination & Help
2:
any of many different processes addressing the subject of Help, such as
one in which the auditor alternately asks the preclear, "How can you
help me?" and "How can I help you?" Help is described in "Clear
Procedure (CCH 0--Help)" and "Clear Procedure (Creativeness)," lectures
5 and 6 of this congress. From:
Clearing Congress
3:
any of many different processes addressing the subject of help. People
have been betrayed so often on the whole track that they get help mixed
up with betrayal. Help
processes straighten that up. From:
South African Anatomy Congress, Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress

the machines of a thetan. A machine
is a pattern of thought which may or may not have mass, which may or
may not have been set up someplace in one's beingness. But it is simply
a pattern of thought which one starts running and stops running. If it
goes fully on automatic, one doesn't start it, he depends on the
environment to start it. From:

Melbourne Congress
PREHAVINGNESS
SCALE
1: a scale developed in early 1961 which includes various levels, such as Havingness/Failed Havingness, Interest/Failed Interest, Communication/Failed Communication, Control/Failed Control, Help/Failed Help, etc. It is described in the lecture "Evolution of Early Research--Prehav Scale," in this series. From: South African Anatomy Congress
2: an assessment scale used in auditing. Havingness is the make-break point of a case. Before one attained havingness he ran a "before-havingness" process hence "pre (before) have." When the full scale was achieved he could have. See also havingness. From: Clean Hands Congress
PRESENT
TIME PROBLEM
1:
a present time problem
is one which has its elements in the material universe in present time,
which is going on now,
and which would demand the preclear's attention to such an extent that
he would feel he had better be doing something about it rather than be
audited. From:
Ability Congress
2:
a problem is two or more opposing and conflicting views on the same
