Dianetics 55! 1955 Glossary
Glossary
ALLY:
A person from whom sympathy came when the preclear was ill or injured. If the ally came to preclear’s defense or his words and/or actions were aligned with the preclear’s survival, the reactive mind gives that ally the status of always being right – especially if this ally was obtained during a highly painful engram.
AS-IS (verb):
To view anything as it is, without any distortions or lies; to duplicate; to perform an as-isness. The general rule of auditing is that anything which is unwanted and yet persists must be thoroughly viewed (perfect duplication), at which time it will vanish. If only partially viewed, its intensity, at least, will decrease. (Ref.: Scientology Axiom 30, and Axiom 11, which gives the four conditions of existence, of which as-isness is one. See Scientology 0-8: The Book of Basics by L. Ron Hubbard, listed in the back pages of this book.)
Processing.
A person trained and qualified in applying Dianetics and/or Scientology processes and procedures to individuals for their betterment; called an auditor because auditor means „one who listens“.
Thetan.
BANK:
Reactive bank; reactive mind.
A somatic of long duration.
Reactive patterns; apparent personalities or communications which are in actuality only engramic content. Word derives by analogy from electronic technology. (See also Demon-circuits.) CLEAR (noun):
DIANETICS 55! 130 L. RON HUBARD
Term originated in Dianetics by analogy to an adding machine from which old answers have been cleared (by pushing button marked „Clear“) so that new sensible answers can be obtained.
(1) Dianetic Clear is today referred to more usually as Dianetic Case Completion.
(2) The term Clear today normally refers to Scientology Clear, resulting from standard technology for levels up to and including the Clearing Course (at Advanced Organizations): a being able to be at cause over mental matter, energy, space and time as regards the First Dynamic (survival for self).
Note: In this book Clear refers in some instances to thetan exterior rather than either Dianetic Clear or the full state of Scientology Clear.
Stimulus-response mechanisms in the bank which mirror the personalities of persons antipathetic to the preclear and which act very much as if they were actual personalities; entities.
Demon-circuits and similar phenomena.
A specialized kind of facsimile which differs from other mental image pictures in that it contains as part of its content unconsciousness and physical pain.
From „enturbulated theta“; especially, destructive communications.
Mental energy pictures, mental image pictures, but distinct from mock-ups; the contents of the reactive mind; continuously made recordings in mental picture form, unknowingly created by the individual of his perceptions of the environment, done by an involuntary intention not within the individual’s awareness or control.
LOCK:
DIANETICS 55! 131 L. RON HUBARD
Mental image picture of a non-painful but disturbing experience, the force of which is derived from an earlier engram and secondary which the experience has restimulated.
MOCK-UP (noun):
A knowingly created mental model, construction or picture. (Distinct from facsimile.)
MOCK UP (verb):
To produce a mock-up.
Thetan exterior, when accomplished by a single („one-shot“) command.
Pre Clear; a person not yet Clear, or a person being audited, who is thus on the road to Clear.
A question or set of questions or directions used by an auditor in a session to help a person find out things about himself and life. The many processes in Scientology technology are used on a precise gradient which leads the person at each level easily to a specific major gain in freedom and ability.
Auditing; the application of Dianetics and/or Scientology technology to individuals for their betterment.
Reactive bank; composed of engrams, secondaries and locks, the reactive mind can be described as a collection of facsimiles (recordings in mental energy picture form) made and retained unknowingly by the individual of the universe around him, which are not under his volitional control and which exert force and the power of command over his awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions. Resolved by processing, using standard Dianetics and Scientology.
DIANETICS 55! 132 L. RON HUBARD
Mechanism whereby the environment reactivates a facsimile, which then acts back against the body or awareness of awareness unit.
Any part of the environment sufficiently similar to a facsimile in the reactive bank (specifically, in an engram, secondary or lock) to bring that part of the bank into con fusion with present time („drawn out of the files“), producing stimulus-response behavior in the individual.
Orig. „secondary engram“; a mental image picture of a moment of severe and shocking loss or threat of loss which contains misemotion (anger, fear, grief, apathy, etc.). It is called a secondary because its force depends upon an earlier engram, which holds it in place.
Noun taken from adjective, somatic – bodily; means essentially any body sensation, illness, pain or discomfort; especially, those stemming from the reactive mind.
From Theta (Life Static), a word taken from the Greek letter, theta, tradition symbol for thought or spirit. The thetan is the individual himself – not the body, the mind, etc.; it is that which is aware of being aware; awareness of awareness unit.
An awareness of awareness unit able knowingly to be at a distance from the body.
A gradation of the various factors of behavior, thought, emotion, communication, etc., plotted on a precise scale of levels of survival potential; ARC Scale. (See especially „Science of Survival“ by L. Ron Hubbard.)
