Definitions

1. a sick thetan who is all caved in can't direct a postulate at anything. When he tries, he lets it wobble around and go elsewhere. The difference between a degraded being and an OT is simply that the DB can't put out a postulate or intention in a direct line or way and make it hold good. (HCOB 5 Dee 73)

2. a harsh term but a true one. It means a person who is at effect to such a degree that he or she avoids orders or instructions in any possible covert or overt way because orders of any kind are confused with painful indoctrinations in the past. This person cannot be at cause without attaining OT Level 111. Therefore they prevent the org from being at cause as they cannot be at cause themselves and will not let the org or anything else be at cause including executives. (HCO PL 22 Mar 67) Abbr.

3. the degraded being is not a suppressive as he can have case gain. But he is so PTS that he works for suppressives only. He is a sort of super-continual PTS beyond the reach really of a simple S&D and handled only at Section 3 OT Course. The degraded being is not necessarily a natively bad thetan. He is simply so PTS and has been for so long that it requires our highest level of tech to finally undo it after he has scaled up all our grades. (HCOB 22 Mar 67)

4. very degraded beings alter-is, refuse to comply without mentioning it. Find ANY instruction painful as they have been painfully indoctrinated with violent measures in the past. They therefore alter-is any order or don't comply. A degraded being is not a suppressive as he can have case gain. But he is so PTS that he works for suppressives only. Degraded beings, taking a cue from SP associates, instinctively resent, hate and seek to obstruct any person in charge of anything. (HCOB 22 Mar 67)
