Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
THESE ARE NOT FULL DEFINITIONS BUT JUST SERVE AS A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING

In the meantime the Church of Scientology published a dictionary on the net. You find it here.

For other words, go to the online dictionary http://www.hyperdictionary.com/

A

1.1. Level of spiritual tone scale referring to covert hostility

AA: attempted abortion.

ABC: American Broadcasting Company


A=A=A=A: anything equals anything equals anything. This is the way the reactive mind thinks, irratio- nally identifying thoughts, people, objects, experiences, statements, etc., with one another where little or no similarity actually exists. Everything is everything else. Mr. X looks at a horse knows it’s a house knows it’s a schoolteacher. So when he sees a horse he is respectful.

aberration: 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, in example, a man sees a horse but thinks he sees an elephant. Aberrated conduct would be wrong conduct, or conduct not supported by reason. Aberration is opposed to sanity, which would be its opposite.

ABLE, Association for Better Living and Education. One of many Scientology church front-groups. The purpose of these front-groups is to escape from the increasingly bad name Scientology has earned over time by implementing its surprisingly vicious and vindictive policies such as SP declares (in which perceived enemies of Scientology church are labeled as suppressive or destructive to Sciento- logy's aims), disconnection (whereby family members are told to stay away from the rest of their family who are not churchies), Fair Game (in which Scientology's enemies may be sued, tricked, lied to, or destroyed, as per CoS policy), etc. "ABLE Int - Association for Better Living and Education Interna- tional - Oversees secular activities such as Applied Scholastics, Narconon, Criminon, and The Way to Happiness Foundation." - Jonathon Barbera. Able Int is now located at the HGB, qv.

acceptance level: the degree of a person’s willingness to accept people or things freely, monitored and determined by his consideration of the state or condition that those people or things must be in for him to be able to do so.

acknowledgment: something said or done to inform another that his statement or action has been noted, understood and received. "Very good," "okay," and other such phrases are intended to inform another who has spoken or acted that his statement or action has been accepted. An acknow- ledgment also tends to confirm that the statement has been made or the action has been done and so brings about a condition not only of communication but of reality between two or more people. Applause at a theater is an acknowledgment of the actor or act plus approval. Acknowledgment itself does not necessarily imply an approval or disapproval or any other thing beyond the knowledge that an action or a statement has been observed and is received.

ACT, alt.clearing.technology. Hangout place for ex-CoS people.

action phrase: a word or phrase in an engram or lock which causes the individual to perform involun- tary actions on the time track. See also command value.

affinity: degree of liking or affection or lack of it. 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. See also ARC.

AD, after Dianetics. Used on issues such as HCOBs and HCOPLs (Hubbard Communication Office Bulletins and Policy Letters) to show the year. It is based on the Christian calendar, but with a base year of 1950 with the release of Hubbard's book "Dianetics"; thus AD 15 = anno Domini 1965.

AG: Assistant Guardian (the local Org head of the Guardian's Office)

ally: someone who protects a person who is in a weak state and becomes a very strong influence over the person. The weaker person, such as a child, even partakes the characteristics of the ally so that one may find that a person who has, for instance, a bad leg, has it because a protector or ally in his youth had a bad leg. The word is from French and Latin and means to bind together.

alter-isness: the consideration which introduces change, and therefore time and persistence, into an as-isness to obtain persistency. (One of the basic manifestations of alter-isness is a lie or deceit: when someone lies he changes the truth into a lie in order to maintain the existence of the lie.) See also as-isness.

analytical mind: the conscious, aware mind which thinks, observes data, remembers it and resolves problems. It would be essentially the conscious mind as opposed to the unconscious mind. In Diane- tics and Scientology the analytical mind is the one which is alert and aware and the reactive mind simply reacts without analysis. See also reactive mind.

analyzer: the analytical mind.

anaten: an abbreviation of analytical attenuation, meaning diminution (lessening) or weakening of the analytical awareness of an individual for a brief or extensive period of time. If sufficiently great, it can result in unconsciousness. (It stems from the restimulation of an engram which contains pain and unconsciousness.) See also engram; restimulation.

anchor points: dimension points which demark (limit) the outermost boundaries of a space or its corners. Anchor points, along with the viewpoint, are responsible for space. An anchor point is a dimension point that stays rather still, to keep the space created. See also dimension; viewpoint.

ANZO, Australia, New Zealand and Oceania. One of Scientology's "continents". See CLO.

AO, Advanced Organization. A Scientology church group that delivers the higher parts of the Bridge, such as Operating Thetan (OT) 1-8, the Ls (lists that are shouted out to the patient), etc.

AOLA, Advanced Organization of Los Angeles - this org has had at least three different locations in LA over the last 30 years, and is currently at the Cedars complex.

AOSHANZO, Advanced Organization Saint Hill for Australia, New Zealand and Oceania.

AOSHEU, Advanced Organization/Saint Hill Europe - in Denmark. Also referred to as AOSH DK - located in Copenhagen.

AOSHUK, Advanced Organization/Saint Hill United Kingdom - at Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex, England.

apathy: a complete withdrawal from person or people. There is no real attempt to contact oneself and no attempt to contact others. A very docile and obedient, if sick, state of not-beingness. It is near death or an imitation of death. For example, a person in apathy would say, "What’s the use? All is lost."

Apollo, was one of L. Ron Hubbard's ships in his toy navy. Ron loved to play sailor-man. See Flag.

apparency: the way someone or something appears to be, where this is different from the way that they actually are.

arbitrary: something which is introduced into a situation without regard to the data of the situation.

ARC: a word made from the initial letters of A ffinity, R eality and C ommunication, 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, such as, "He was in ARC with his friend." One does not, however, fall out of ARC; he has an ARC break. See also ARC break.

ARC break: a sudden drop or cutting of one’s affinity, reality or communication with someone or something. Upsets with people or things come about because of a lessening or sundering (breaking apart) of affinity, reality or communication or understanding. It’s 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. See also ARC.

ARC triangle: a triangle which is a symbol of the fact that affinity, reality and communication act together as a whole entity and that one of them cannot be considered unless the other two are also taken into account. Without affinity there is no reality or communication. Without reality or some agreement, affinity and communication are absent. Without communication there can be no affinity or reality. It is only necessary to improve one corner of this very valuable triangle in Scientology in order to improve the remaining two corners. See also ARC.

ARSCC, Alt.Religion.Scientology Central Committee; It is a game. The OSA Scientologists have tried to represent opposition to Scientology as emanating from one or other focus - at first, it was Dennis Erlich. Later, it was FactNet. At other times and in other contexts the opposition has been represented as 'psychs' and the now-destroyed 'CAN' (the Cult Awareness Network). ARSCC (Alt.Religion.Scientology Central Committee) is just a kid's game, a troll, like the game of 'there is no Cabal' which is played on newbies on alt.culture.usenet. There is no ARSCC.

ASHOD, American Saint Hill Organization Day - located at same place as ASHOF in the Cedars Complex, Los Angeles.

ASHOF, American Saint Hill Organization Foundation (night and weekend org) - located at 1413 N. Berendo Street (now L. Ron Hubbard Way) LA CA 90027. Previously ASHOF was located at 2723 West Temple Street, LA (from 1968 until 1977).

ASI, Author Services Inc. 1. A Scientology front-group whose purpose is to skim money out of the organization and channel it to the person at the top, CST. Also called Author Services. Jonathon Barbera: "Not officially on the chart. Probably immediately under RTC. It is senior to all other organizations but is not part of the command channels. " ASI spends its money on several things: "special properties" ie, prints, rare books, LRH signed books for the Preservation of the Tech project - the bomb-proof shelters in the desert.

assist: a simple, easily done process that can be applied to anyone to help them recover more rapidly from accidents, mild illness or upsets; any process which assists the individual to heal himself or be healed by another agency by removing his reasons for precipitating (bringing on) and prolonging his condition and lessening his predisposition (inclination or tendency) to further injure himself or remain in an intolerable condition. See also Touch Assist.

The exact definition of auditing is: The action of asking a person a question (which he can understand and answer), getting an answer to that question and acknowledging him for that answer.

auditor: 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.

Auditor’s Code: a collection of rules (do’s and don’ts) that an auditor follows while auditing someone, which ensures that the preclear will get the greatest possible gain out of the processing that he is having. It was evolved from years of observing processing.

See also conditions of existence.

between-lives area: the experiences of a thetan during the time between the loss of a body and the assumption of another. This consists of a memory wipe-out in an implant station and the return in a body. On Earth and on Mars you will find multiple implant stations that do just that.

black panther mechanism: one of the five ways in which a human being reacts toward a source of danger. The term derives its name from an example given in the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health: A particularly black-tempered black panther is sitting on the stairs and a man named Gus is sitting in the living room. Gus wants to go to bed. But there is the black panther. The problem is to get upstairs. There are five things that Gus can do about this panther: (1) he can go attack the black panther; (2) he can run out of the house and flee the black panther; (3) he can use the back stairs and avoid the black panther; (4) he can neglect the black panther; and (5) he can succumb to the black panther.

bullbaiting: a method of drilling whereby a 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 affect on the student.

There is no apparent reason (to him) why he feels this way. This is what bypassed charge means. "Earlier charge restimulated and not seen" would be another name for it. See also ARC break; charge; restimulation.

C

Cadet Org, any of various orgs for warehousing children of Sea Org parents. Policy is for SO women to abort their babies when ordered, but when the unfortunates survive to full term, they are placed in these horrific organizations. Reports are rampant with child abuse in these places ranging from neglect, to maggots in their food, to severe under staffing, filthy and smelly conditions, and enforced parental neglect (SO parents are allowed as little as one hour per week to see their children, called "family time".) The Cadet orgs even have their own RPFs, or punishment camps.

Cal Mag, a mixture of calcium and magnesium in water, giving a restful feeling.

CAN, the Cult Awareness Network, formerly a loose-knit educational and group-therapy association. A Scientology target for special hatred in the form of Suppressive (describing a person or group who goals are at odds to Scientology's goals) status, CAN has now been destroyed through Scientology exercising its policy of using lawsuits to utterly ruin its enemies, and if you dial the number, you get a Scientologist on the other end of the line!

CC, Celebrity Center. There are several of these around the world, incorporated with the intention of luring in actors and other prominent people to give the scientology church a shiny PR image, the theory being that if John Travolta and Kirsty Alley are Scientologists, other people will want to join up and sign away their life savings. One large CC is located right in Hollywood, and run as a ritzy hotel, utilizing the slave labor of Scientology's Sea Organization staff to provide all the amenities to the first class citizens and celebrities. "CC Int - Celebrity Center International - Largest celebrity center which delivers Scientology services to celebrities and those who can afford the higher donation rates.

classification: an award earned by an auditor that entitles him to audit certain levels of processes, and that shows that he has attained the ability and skill to do so by actual test.

Classification, Gradation and Awareness Chart: the route to Clear and the OT states beyond, also called The Bridge to Total Freedom, or The Bridge. Classification means that there are certain actions required to be done or conditions to be attained before an individual is classified for a particular training level and allowed to progress up. Gradation means a gradual grade up, just as there are grades to a road or there are grades to steps. Awareness refers to one’s own awareness, which improves as one progresses up. On the right side of this 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 higher states of existence. See also Bridge, The; Grades of Release.

Class V Org, the most common Scientology organizations; most major urban centers in the Western world have one. They are senior to missions or franchises, but otherwise at the bottom rung of the command channels.

Clear: the name of a state achieved through auditing or an individual who has achieved this state. A Clear is a being who no longer has his own reactive mind as opposed to the BT's around. A Clear is an unaberrated person and is rational in that he forms the best possible solutions he can on the data he has and from his viewpoint. The Clear has no engrams which can be restimulated to throw out the correctness of computation by entering hidden and false data. (in the R&D vol. 10, theta body, a clear is also describes as one who knows if it is his case or that of an entity)

CLO, Continental Liaison Office - in charge of the internal management of middle management organizations. - Jonathon Barbera.

coach: (verb and noun) to train intensively by instruction, demonstration and practice. In training drills, one twin (a student’s study partner) is made the coach and the other the student. The coach, in his coaching actions, coaches the student to achieve the purpose of the drill. He coaches with reality and intention, following exactly the materials pertaining to the drill to get the student through it. When this is achieved the roles are then reversed-the student becoming the coach and the coach becoming the student.

The formula of communication is cause, distance, effect, with intention, attention and duplication with understanding. See also cause; effect.

communication bridge: an auditing procedure which closes off the process one is running, maintains ARC, and opens up the new process on which one is about to embark. It is used so that a pc will not be startled by change, for if one changes too rapidly in a session, one sticks the preclear in the session every time. He is given some warning, and that is what a communication bridge is for.

Communication Course: a Scientology course in which one gains the ability to effectively communicate with others.

communication lag: the length of time intervening between the asking of the question by the auditor and the reply to that specific question by the preclear. The question must be precise; the reply must be precisely to that question. It does not matter what intervenes in the time between the asking of the question and the receipt of the answer. The preclear may outflow, jabber, discuss, pause, hedge, disperse, dither or be silent; no matter what he does or how he does it, between the asking of the question and the giving of the answer, the time is the communication lag.

Conditions, the Ethics formulas of Scientology. They are, in descending order, Power, Power Change, Affluence, Normal Operation, Emergency, Danger, Non-Existence, Liability, Doubt, Enemy, Treason, Confusion. All the conditions have formulas.

conditions of existence: there are three conditions of existence. These three conditions comprise life. They are Be, Do and Have. The condition of being is defined as the assumption (choosing) of a category of identity. An example of beingness could be one’s own name. Another example would be one’s profession. The second condition of existence is doingness. By doingness is meant action, function, accomplishment, the attainment of goals, the fulfillment of purpose or any change of position in space. The third condition is havingness. By havingness is meant owning, possessing, being capable of commanding, positioning, taking charge of objects, energies or spaces. These three conditions are given in an order of seniority (importance) where life is concerned.

Cult, (definition from the Cult Awareness Network, now taken over by Scientology after bankruptcy brought on by Scn litigation). A serious problem exists in our society as a result of the emergence of groups, popularly called cults, using mind control (undue influence) and unethical means to recruit and retain followers. Association with these groups can be harmful to followers and disruptive to families, friends and society. MARKS OF A DESTRUCTIVE CULT: -Mind Control (undue influence): Manipulation by use of coercive persuasion or behavior modification techniques without informed consent. -Charismatic Leadership: Claiming divinity or special knowledge and demanding unquestioning obedience with power and privilege. Leadership may consist of one individual or a small core of leaders. -Deception: Recruiting and fundraising with hidden objectives and without full disclosure of the use of mind controlling techniques; use of front groups. -Exclusivity: Secretiveness or vagueness by followers regarding activities and beliefs. -Alienation: Separation from family, friends and society, a change in values and substitution of the cult as the new family; evidence of subtle or abrupt personality changes. -Exploitation: Can be financial, physical, or psychological; pressure to give money, to spend a great deal on courses or give excessively to special projects, or to engage in inappropriate sexual activities, even child abuse. -Totalitarian Worldview (we/they syndrome): Effecting dependence, promoting goals of the group over the individual and approving unethical behavior while claiming goodness.

(All About Radiation, pp. 123-124)

Dianetics: Dianetics spiritual healing technology. It addresses and handles the effects of the spirit on the body and can alleviate such things as unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and psychosomatic illnesses (ones that are caused or aggravated by mental stress).

dub-in: any unknowingly created mental picture that appears to have been a record of the physical universe but is, in fact, only an altered copy of the time track. It is a phrase taken from the motion picture industry meaning to record dialogue and various sounds and then integrate them into the film after it has been shot.

dwindling spiral: a phenomenon of the ARC triangle whereby when one breaks some affinity, a little bit of the reality goes down, and then communication goes down, which makes it impossible to get affinity as high as before; so a little bit more gets knocked off affinity, and then reality goes down, and then communication. This is the dwindling spiral in progress, until it hits the bottom-death-which is no affinity, no communication and no reality. See also ARC triangle.

dynamic(s): there could be said to be eight urges (drives, impulses) in life. These we call dynamics. These are motives or motivations. We call them the eight dynamics. These are urges for survival as or through:

(4) all mankind
(5) living things (plants and animals)
(6) the material universe
(7) spirits
(8) infinity or the Supreme Being.

E-meter: the Hubbard Electrometer is a religious artifact used in the Church confessional. It, in itself does nothing, and is used by ministers only, to assist parishioners in locating areas of spiritual distress or travail. The E-meter is not intended or effective for diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. It passes a tiny current through the preclear's body. This current is influenced by the mental masses, pictures, circuits and machinery. When the unclear pre-clear thinks of something, these mental items shift and this registers on the meter.

 E-meter

If the following is true shouldn't the authorities be arresting scientologists for using the E-Meter to administer the "stress test" ?

Please note the following :

The foregoing publications and representations have been excerpted and quoted directly from the "Appendix" in the case of United States v. Article or Device 333 F.

end phenomena EP: those indicators in the pc and the meter which show that a chain or a process is ended. See also chain; indicators.

engram: a mental image picture which is a recording of an experience containing pain, unconsciousness and a real or fancied threat to survival. It is a recording in the reactive mind of something which actually happened to an individual in the past and which contained pain and unconsciousness, both of which are recorded in the mental image picture called an engram. It must, by definition, have impact or injury as part of its content. These engrams are a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full unconsciousness. See also mental image picture.

engram bank: the reactive mind, that 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 aberration and psychosomatic ills. See also aberration.

entities: Thetans stuck in fixed position a body. Entities used to be called demon circuits and were said to be made by the person himself and are in actual fact not beings themselfs, later this changed into souls stuck in a body, than again In the end of 1952 entities were seen as ridges that did not have beings. In the OT levels one finds that these entities are indeed thetans stuck in a body. see BT

enturbulated: turbulent or agitated and disturbed.

evaluation: the imposing of data or knowledge upon another. An example would be to tell another why he is the way he is instead of permitting or guiding him to discover it for himself.

Expanded Lower Grades: each Grade is a series of processes which are run on a preclear with the purpose of bringing him to a particular state of Release. These are called "expanded" because they use all the processes of the level developed between 1950 and 1970 and are run on all four flows. The Expanded Lower Grades include Expanded ARC Straightwire© through Expanded Lower Grade IV, as given in the Classification, Gradation and Awareness Chart. See also Classification, Gradation and Awareness Chart; flow; Grades of Release.

exteriorization, exterior: the state of the thetan being outside his body. When this is attained, the person achieves a certainty that he is himself and not his body.

Factors, the: a summation of the considerations and examinations of the human spirit and the material universe completed between 1923 and 1953, by L. Ron Hubbard. The Factors can be found in the book Scientology 0-8: The Book of Basics.

Fair Game, the notorious Scientology church policy describing how to deal with critics, ex-members, and other undesirables dehumanized with the label "Suppressives"; they may be "Sued, tricked, lied to, or destroyed," as per policy. A more recent policy has banished the WORDS "Fair Game", but the policy of what to do to these "SPs" or "Suppressives" cannot ever be cancelled. When confronted, many Scientologists claim the "Fair Game" policy was cancelled in 1968. First of all it's bad enough that such a policy ever was made. Secondly it's a lie the policy actually was cancelled. They gamble that people trust them without checking the facts. Here is the text from the original policy letter

game: a contest of person against person or team against team. A game consists of freedoms, barriers and purposes, and there is a necessity in a game to have an opponent or an enemy. Also there is a necessity to have problems, and enough individuality to cope with a situation.

Golden Age of Tech, the. Releases from 1996 inside the church of scientology reportedly sharpen up auditing. Apparently the "100% Standard Tech" sold to public over the last several years was not standard after all. The changes to unalterable tech include: a revamping of the E-meter with a variable gain; a student certainty course covering the barriers to study, parts of the student hat, the TRs, and the metering courses; the Golden Age of Tech Drills which are rote handlings compiled from HCOBs and put in quiz/drill form for training on a twin basis for grades and solo auditing courses; a read generator has been added to the E-meter; and more emphasis on study and drilling to the point of not having to think about what to do in a particular situation.

gradient: a gradual approach to something, taken step by step, level by level, each step or level being, of itself, easily surmountable-so that, finally, quite complicated and difficult activities or high states of being can be achieved with relative ease. This principle is applied to both Scientology processing and training.

gradient scale: (also called a graduated scale ) a scale of condition graduated from zero to infinity. On a scale of survival, everything above zero or center would be more and more survival, approaching an infinite survival (immortality), and everything below zero or center would be more and more nonsurvival, approaching an infinite nonsurvival (death). Absolutes are considered to be unobtainable.

helatrobus implants: call them the heaven implants. They are actually a long chain of engrams, each of which has basics, beginning with electronic clouds over planets (one of the main reasons why people can become keyed in when there is bad weather), and the dichotomy, plus and minus, and so forth and sweep on through in a certain series. Capture thetans and push them into a meat body and get them into a state where they stay in the body. Also has some religious commands in it.

hidden standard: a problem a person thinks must be resolved before auditing can be seen to have worked. It is a standard by which a person judges Scientology or auditing or auditors.

invader forces: Fourth = Marcabians, Fifth = Grey's. An electronics people. The electronics people usually happen to be an evolutionary line which is on heavy gravity planets and so they develop electronics. The reason you say invader force at all is because at some time along the line fairly early in its youth it took off to conquer the whole mest universe. You could expect almost anything in terms of physical form particularly physical form which matched the peculiar purpose of this group. They've usually got some gimmick like Fac One. Control people. (5206CM27A).
There are five invader forces active and one aborning, but the one aborning is not active. It will probably be several million years before you begin to see this one, some of you hit the track 60 trillion years ago mest universe and some of you didn't get into the mest universe until about 3 trillion years ago that is invader force one and invader force two. This is E-meter data confirmed from preclear to preclear. Now we don't see anything of invader force three here on Earth. I just haven't found any threes. Invader force four is really holding the fort someplace or other. Every little while, a few million years, some planet will get taken over by an invader force. (5206CM27A). A thetan from the fifth invadoer force believes himself to be a very strange insect-like creature with unthinkably horrible hands. He believes himself to be occupying such a body, but is in actuality simply a unit capable of producing space, time, energy and matter. (Scn 8-8008)

KRC triangle: the upper triangle in the Scientology symbol. The points are K for knowledge, R for responsibility, and C for control. It is difficult to be responsible for something or control something unless you have knowledge of it. It is folly to try to control something or even know something without responsibility. It is hard to fully know something or be responsible for something over which you have no control, otherwise the result can be overwhelm. Little by little one can make anything go right by increasing Knowledge on all dynamics, increasing Responsibility on all dynamics, increasing Control on all dynamics. See also dynamic(s).

M

M1, or M1 Word Clearing, one of the 9 methods of word clearingy. M1 is done on a Meter, and locates charge or upset on words chains by subject, taking each back in time. M1 supposedly makes the recipient "Superliterate", able to "fast flow" through course checksheets without doing demos or checkouts. See also M8.

M2, metered word clearing done by having the student read aloud, then look up each word stumbled over or that reads on the meter.

M3, verbal word clearing done by the supervisor in the classroom and used whenever a student says s/he doesn't understand something. The sup then asks them to look earlier for a word that isn't understood, has the student look it up in a dictionary, and then use it in sentences in the usual way. M3 is one of the most commonly-used methods of word clearing, along with M4 and self-study. In self-study, every word found is looked up, used in sentences, and cleared in each definition, pronunciation, and the derivation, as in all word clearing.

M4, metered classroom word clearing. The student is asked to focus on sections of text of about paragraph to page size and asked if there's an MU, then the meter is checked for any reaction. The word so metaphysically located is then looked up and cleared in the usual way. M4 is one of the most common forms of word clearing, along with M3 and self-study, as the students works by themselves to "clear up their MUs".

M5, the student is asked what words mean from a list, as in auditing commands. The ones the person can't define quickly and accurately are flunked (a term used in the church, however outside it is used as a helpful tool).

M6, key word clearing. The most important words relating to a specific post are looked up and word cleared in a dictionary upon any hint of slowness or hesitancy on the part of the staff member.

M7, used for illiterates, children, and foreign-language persons. The student is made to read aloud, and at each omission or stumble or hesitation or frown, the word is explained to the person verbally or looked up for him or her by the twin or word clearer.

M8, part of the Primary Rundown, its end product is superliteracy. An alphabetical list of every word in the materials being studied, such as a book or tape, is looked up. This is the most thorough methods of W/Cing. Its requirement for the exalted state of "superliteracy" has been superseded by M1, or was at one time in the church of scientology.

M9, unmetered word clearing action. Student is made to read the text aloud while the word clearer follows along in another copy of the text. When the student stumbles or frowns or coughs, etc., the word is thoroughly looked up and "cleared" by the usual method.

MAA, Master At Arms. A Sea Org (highly indoctrinated Scientologists who sign billion-year contracts inside the church) Ethics Officer, responsible for keeping Ethics in (keeping the all-important production up; someone who produces well in Scientology is almost always regarded as being in-Ethics; the ends justify the means is policy.)

misemotion: a coined word in Dianetics and Scientology, often used loosely to refer to anything that is unpleasant emotion, such as antagonism, anger, fear, grief, apathy or a death feeling. The full meaning of misemotion is an emotion or emotional reaction that is inappropriate to the present time situation. It is taken from mis- (wrong) + emotion. To say that a person was misemotional would indicate that the person did not display the emotion called for by the actual circumstances of the situation. Being misemotional would be synonymous with being irrational. One can fairly judge the rationality of any individual by the correctness of the emotion he displays in a given set of circumstances. To be joyful and happy when circumstances call for joy and happiness would be rational. To display grief without sufficient present time cause would be irrational.

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.

See also present time.

obnosis: observation of the obvious. The only way one sees anything is by observing the obvious: one looks at the isness of something, at what is actually there.

Q

Q and A:(noun) the practice of asking a question about a pc’s answer, i.e., the auditor asks a question, the pc answers, the auditor asks a question about the answer. This is the chief auditor fault, as it is giving session control over to the pc. The auditor following only the pc’s lead is giving no auditing and the pc is left on "self-audit."

Here is a wrong example of auditing:
Auditor : "How are you?"
Pc : "Awful."
Auditor : "What’s wrong?"

Here is a right example:
Auditor : "How are you?"
Pc : "Awful."
Auditor : "Thank you."

It is an abbreviation of samizdatel'stvo, meaning self publishing (house), from sam-, self, + izdatel'stvo, publisher. The creators of Scamizdat obviously see parallels between Communist Russia and Scientology in the way they deal with critics and free-speech.

Scientologist: one who knows he has found the way to a better life through Scientology and who, through Scientology books, tapes, training and processing, is actively attaining it.

Scientology: Scientology applied religious philosophy. It is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life. Scientology means scio, knowing in the fullest sense of the word and logos, study. In itself the word means literally knowing how to know. Scientology is a "route," a way, rather than a dissertation or an assertive body of knowledge. Through its drills and studies one may find the truth for himself. The technology is therefore not expounded as something to believe, but something to do.

Scientology Drug Rundown: a rundown (series of auditing actions) which uses Scientology auditing techniques to handle the harmful effects of drugs, medicine and alcohol on a case. This rundown extroverts a person, brings him into present time, and allows him to experience the relief and expansion available to one who has been freed from the influence of drugs. See also case; rundown.

Scientology church: A suppressive organization owned by CST's founder Meade Emory. Altered the tech and basically stops anyone from really attaining spiritual freedom.

SEC CHECK Security Check

secondary: also called secondary engram. A period of anguish brought about by a major loss or threat of loss to the individual. The secondary engram depends for its strength and force upon physical-pain engrams which underlie it. See also engram.

second dynamic: see dynamic(s).

sector 9: The milkyway galaxy consists of 25 sectors, like 2 pizza's on top of each other and sliced 12 times, with the middle points being sector 0. Sector 9 is the sector where earth is located.

self-determinism: that state of being wherein the individual can or cannot be controlled by his environment according to his own choice. He is confident about any and all abilities or talents he may possess. He is confident in his interpersonal relationships. He reasons but does not need to react.

service facsimile: a computation generated by the individual to make self right and others wrong, to dominate or escape domination and to enhance own survival and injure that of others. This computation will cause the individual to deliberately hold in restimulation selected parts of his reactive mind to explain his failures in life. For example, a person may keep an old injury in restimulation so that his family has to look after him. See also facsimile; reactive mind; restimulation.

session: a precise period of time during which an auditor audits a preclear.

significance: a word which is used in the special sense to denote any thought, decision, concept, idea, purpose or meaning in the mind in distinction to its masses. (The mind is basically composed of masses and significances.) See also mental mass.

SLD, Southern Land Development Corp. - a front name used to purchase the Ft. Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida.

SMI Int, Scientology Missions International International - Oversees all Missions ("Franchises"). - Jonathon Barbera.

Snow white, the code name for the churches espionage operation. Snow White's goal was to infiltrate government offices and purge their files of incriminating material that made the scientology church look bad. 30,000+ documents were stolen from the IRS, the DEA, the Coast Guard, and the US Attorney's office. Hubbard's wife, Mary Sue, was sentenced to four years in jail for the operation, which was carried out by operatives in the GO (Guardian's Office; a precursor to OSA, the Office of Special Affairs, the cult's answer to the KGB.)

SOBS Sector Operations Bulletins

solid communication line: a communication line is the route along which a communication travels from one person to another; the line on which particles flow. A solid communication line is one requiring solid contact, such as the auditor’s hand in the preclear’s hand or the preclear’s hand in his.

somatic: a physical pain or discomfort of any kind. The word somatic means, actually, bodily or physical. Because the word pain is restimulative, and because the word pain has in the past led to a confusion between physical pain and mental pain, somatic is the term used in Dianetics instead. See also restimulation.

somatic mind: that mind which takes care of the automatic mechanisms of the body, the regulation of the minutiae (precise details) which keep the organism running.

sonic: the recall of something heard, so that it is heard again in the mind in full tone and strength.

soul: the living unit which operates the body. See also thetan.

SP: suppressive person.

space opera: of or relating to time periods on the whole track millions of years ago which concerned activities in this and other galaxies. Space opera has space travel, spaceships, spacemen, intergalactic travel, wars, conflicts, other beings, civilizations and societies, and other planets and galaxies. It is not fiction and concerns actual incidents and things that occurred on the track. See also whole track.

Squirrel, a person who subverts Hubbard's "Tech" by alteration. The name probably came from the idea of squirrels burying, or being associated with, nuts. In the cult jargon, Squirrel refers to someone who is too insane to follow Standard Tech. "David Mayo was a Squirrel because he altered Source."

stable datum: one datum, one factor, one particular in a confusion of particles that keeps things from being in a confusion and on which other things can be aligned. Any confusing motion can be understood by conceiving one thing to be motionless. The one thing selected and used becomes the stable datum for the remainder.

Standard Technology: the exact processes and auditing actions laid down by L. Ron Hubbard and used for the invariable resolution of cases. This is not the case anymore inside the church of scientology, as they keep on making alterations in the form of RA's after 1981 in HCOB's and even made HCOB's not from LRH. The RO's work with the tech as it was in 1981, prior to LRH leaving the church lines.

start-change-stop: the cycle of action in this universe, which 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 one’s environment. See also cycle of action.

static: something which doesn’t have wavelength, so it is not in motion; it doesn’t have weight, it doesn’t have mass, it doesn’t have length, breadth or any of these things. It is motionlessness.

stimulus-response: given a certain stimulus, something will automatically give a certain response.

Straightwire: the name of a process. It is the act of stringing a line between present time and some incident in the past, and stringing that line directly and without any detours. The auditor is stringing a straight wire of memory between the actual genus (origin) of a condition and present time, thus demonstrating that there is a difference of time and space in the condition then and the condition now, and that the preclear, conceding this difference, then rids himself of the condition or at least is able to handle it. The motto of Straightwire could be said to be, "Discover the actual genus of any condition and you will place the condition under the control of the preclear." See also present time.

subconscious: the unconscious mind. See also unconscious mind.

Super Power, A series of 12 rundowns including: Ethics and Justice Repair Rundown, Personal Revival Rundown, Consequences Rundown, and False Data and Loss Rundown. Delivered by Super Power auditors at FSO (Flag) and might also be delivered to staff at Class Vs who have completed KTL (in English speaking organizations) and LOC. Release of this rundown is expected to make planetary clearing and the expanding of all service organizations to the size of old Saint Hill a reality. The interesting part of this is that the church does not open the bridge above OT8, because they are saying that it will create to big an inflow, however do release these superpower RD.

suppress: to squash, to sit on, to make smaller, to refuse to let reach, to make uncertain about his reaching, to render or lessen in any way possible by any means possible, to the harm of the individual and for the fancied protection of a suppressor.

suppressive acts: actions or omissions undertaken knowingly to suppress, reduce or impede Scientology or Scientologists. (Such actions are high crimes and result in dismissal from Scientology and its organizations. This went into the extreme inside the church of scientology where anyone opposing anything can get a SP label)

suppressive person or group: a person or group of persons who actively seek to suppress or damage Scientology or a Scientologist by suppressive acts. See also potential trouble source; suppressive acts.

survival: an impulse to persist through time, in space, as matter and energy. It is a condition susceptible to nonsurvival. If one is "surviving," one is at the same moment admitting that one can cease to survive, otherwise one would never strive to survive.

sweetness and light: a humorous term which means pleasant, good-tempered, etc. Often used to describe the case which cannot conceive of ever having done anything bad to anybody or anything. See also case.

symbiote: a term which in Dianetics is extended beyond the dictionary definition to mean "any or all life or energy forms which are mutually dependent for survival." The atom depends on the universe, the universe on the atom.

T

tactile: the perceptics (sense messages) of touch.

tech: 1. technical. 2. technology. (usually referring to Dianetics and Scientology processes used in going up the Bridge)

Technique 88, 1. a technique is in there for everything. And that's why we say Technique 88. There's an infinity of techniques inside of Technique 88. Technique 88 includes all of the technology of doing anything that man or any other being has ever done. (5206CM25B) 2. is processing the theta body and actually anything that pertains to processing the theta body can be lumped into Technique 88.

technology: the methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself.

Teegeeack: The old name of planet Earth as found in auditing.

terminal: anything used in a communication system; anything that can receive, relay or send a communication; a man would be a terminal, but a post (position, job or duty to which a person is assigned) would also be a terminal; also, things with mass and meaning.

theta: energy peculiar to life or a thetan which acts upon material in the physical universe and animates it, mobilizes it and changes it; natural creative energy of a thetan which he has free to direct toward survival goals, especially when it manifests itself as high tone, constructive communications. See also thetan.

Theta Clear: a person who operates exterior to the body without need of a body.

thetan: 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. The term was coined to eliminate any possible confusion with older, invalid concepts. It comes from the Greek letter Theta (), which the Greeks used to represent thought or perhaps spirit, to which an n is added to make a noun in the modern style used to create words in engineering. It is also n, or "theta to the nth degree," meaning unlimited or vast.

Theta Universe: 1. thought matter (ideas), thought energy, thought space, and thought time, combined in an independent universe analogous to the material universe. One of the purposes of theta is postulated as the conquest, change, and ordering of mest. (From Science of Survival Glossary)
2. is a postulated reality for which there exists much evidence. (From Science of Survival, page 99.)

third party: one who by false reports creates trouble between two people, a person and a group, or a group and another group. See also third party law.

third party law: a law which states that a third party must be present and unknown in every quarrel for a conflict to exist. Or, for a quarrel to occur, an unknown third party must be active in producing it between two potential opponents.

time track: the consecutive record of mental image pictures which accumulates through a person’s life or lives. It is very exactly dated. The time track is the entire sequence of "now" incidents, complete with all perceptics, picked up by a person during his whole existence. See also incident; mental image picture.

TLC TELEC (Telepathic Link Communication or Telepathic Telex)

tone: the emotional condition of an engram or the general condition of an individual. See also engram; Tone Scale.

Tone Scale: a scale which shows the emotional tones of a person. These, ranged from the highest to the lowest, are, in part, serenity, enthusiasm (as we proceed downward), conservatism, boredom, antagonism, anger, covert hostility, fear, grief, apathy. (There are additional tone levels than these in the Expanded Tone Scale, and for further information see the book Scientology 0-8: The Book of Basics.)

Tone 40: giving a command and just knowing that it will be executed despite any contrary appearances.

Touch Assist: an assist action which reestablishes communication with injured or ill body parts. It brings the person’s attention to the injured or affected body areas. This is done by repetitively touching the ill or injured person’s body and putting him into communication with the injury. His communication with it brings about recovery. The technique is based on the principle that the way to heal anything or remedy anything is to put somebody into communication with it. See also assist.

track: see time track.

TRs, Training regimen or routine. Often referred to as a training drill. TR's are a precise training action putting a student through laid out practical steps gradient by gradient, to teach a student to apply with certainty what he has learned.

TR0 Training Routine # 0 (for Auditors). Confronting another person "two by four-" a board or plank of wood measuring 2 inches by 4 inches (5x10 cm) in cross-section

truth: the exact consideration. Truth is the exact time, place, form and event.

two-way communication: a two-way cycle of communication would work as follows: Joe, having originated a communication, and having completed it, may then wait for Bill to originate a communication to Joe, thus completing the remainder of the two-way cycle of communication. Thus we get the normal cycle of a communication between two terminals (people).

U

UK-ARSCC, the United Kingdom branch office of the ARSCC, which also does not exist.

unconscious mind: a term from psychoanalysis. It is said to be the sum of all thoughts, memories, impulses, desires, feelings, etc., of which the individual is not conscious but which influence his emotions and behavior. In actuality, the "unconscious" is the sum of all a man’s bad experiences and nothing more mysterious than that. In Dianetics and Scientology it is called the reactive mind. See also reactive mind.

universe: a whole system of created things. The universes are three in number. The first of these is one’s own universe. The second would be the material universe, which is the universe of matter, energy, space and time, which is the common meeting ground of all of us. The third is actually a class of universes-the universe of every other person.

unmock: become nothing; make nothing of.

V

valences: personalities. The term is used to denote the borrowing of the personalities of others. Valences are substitutes for self taken on after the fact of lost confidence in self. Preclears "in their father’s valence" are acting as though they were their father. Most valences are the cause of BT's

Verbal Tech, the cardinal sin of describing the cult's "tech" by word of mouth, or through one's own writing, deemed a Crime.

VGIs: abbreviation for Very Good Indicators. It means good indicators to a very marked degree. Extremely good indicators. For example, if a preclear were happy or laughing in session, those could be considered very good indicators. See also indicators.

vias: relay points in a communication line. To talk via a body, to get energy via eating, alike are communication by-routes. Enough vias make a stop. A stop is made out of vias.

viewpoint: a point of awareness from which one can perceive.

visio: the recall of something seen, so that it is seen again in the mind in full color, scale, dimension, brightness and detail.

W

WDC, the Watchdog Committee. A high-level cult security arm designed to keep an eye on the other branches. Jonathon Barbera: "Senior-most management organization in the Church of Scientology. WDC Chairman is, officially, the head of the Church. In 1993 this post was held by the CO CMO INT somewhat secretly, but it may be policy for these two posts to be held by the same individual. This organization oversees large areas of Scientology such as OSA, WISE, SMI, SO Service Orgs, etc. and each one of these areas are overseen by a specific executive (referred to as WDC OSA, WDC SMI, etc.).

WDNE, which does not exist. Used after ARSCC, as: "the arscc (wdne)" or tarsccdne. See ARSCC, TARSCCDNE.

White Glove, a clean-up make-work done at the end of each week by Sea Org staff. It usually entails removing every speck of dust from a room with dirty grey rags and little or no cleaning supplies to a standard whereby a white glove wielded by the superior cannot pick up anything when wiped on various surfaces around the area involved. Of course, if a group is downstat, the cleanup takes longer; white-glove inspections can take many hours.

whole track: the moment to moment record of a person’s existence in this universe in picture and impression form.

WISE, World Institute of Scientology Enterprises. Business department of Scientology. Licenses L. Ron Hubbard's "Tech" to corporations and then infiltrates them in high-level takeovers for the church. A cult front-group, now located at the HGB, qv.

withhold: an unspoken, unannounced transgression against a moral code by which the person was bound. Something the preclear did that he or she is not talking about. A withhold is always the manifestation which comes after an overt. Any withhold comes after an overt. See also moral code; overt act.

Wog, a derogatory term the church of scientology co-opted from British slang, and now uses to refer to people outside of Scientology's church purview.

X

Xenu: The biggest SP in sector 9. He caused the big catastrophe that happened 75 million years ago, that left 76 planets behind like a desert.

OSA EU is in Copenhagen, Denmark
SMI INT MISSIONAIRE S.O.

"She will write up her hat tommorrow" = SHE IS GOING TO BE PROMOTED (PROBABLY) AND HAS TO WRITE UP HER JOB SO THAT WHOEVER IS REPLACING HER CAN DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
It is a brief write up of what she does and what is needed to function in the position.
 
"This book needs to be M9'ed, sidechecked ...". = THIS IS METHOD NINE WORD CLEARING. TO FIND ANY MISSUNFERSTOOD WORDS IN THE TEXT AND TO ENSURE THAT IT IS FULLY UNDERSTOOD. M9 is "method 9" which refers to a style of study.

"The PRO is going on with O/Ws and conditions on her false stats". EVERY STAFF MEMBER HAS SPECIFIC STATISTICS THAT MUST BE KEPT ON A DAILY BASIS. FOR EXAMPLE A LETTER REGISTRAR MIGHT KEEP A RECORD OF THE NUMBER OF LETTERS WRITTEN EACH DAY. THIS WOULD BE HIS STATISTIC OR STAT. AT THE END OF THE PERIOD (2PM EVERY THURSDAY) HE WOULD TALLY UP HIS DAILY STATS. IF HE IS UPSTAT (MORE LETTERS THIS WEEK THAN LAST WEEK) HE MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE FOR A DAY'S LEAVE. IF HE IS DOWNSTAT, HE IS INELIGIBLE FOR LEAVE AND IS FROWNED UPON.
In order to get leave he may falsify his stats !!

SMI INT MISSIONAIRE S.O. S.O. = Sea Org/Standing Order. This is a missionaire from the SMI Int office. Possibly liaison between the Sea Org and SMI INT?
The SMI office is part of the SO. A missionaire is a person sent out to do a specific task based on Mission Orders. Mission Orders are a type of program. Mission Orders are usually dynamic and require a person (or persons) to be sent to a specific location to carry them out. Most often Mission Orders are of short duration.
TTC member AOSH = AOSH is Advanced Org Saint Hill;
TTC = Tech Training Corps
X-DSA = probably Executive Director of Special Affairs. "cleanup" means fixing some kind of problem. The "cleanup" would usually involve a problem with a person. It could be handled by fixing the person(s) "case" or just plain removal from post.
ESTO = ESTablishment Officer. A person who is responsible for matters like training and physical accomodations. From the context, I am guessing it is referring to training.
"Writing up your hat" is putting on paper the expertise and processes that are associated with a staff position.
A minihat is enough policy and hat writeups to get a person started functioning on a post.
T/ACTION AIDE FB T/Action Aide means that the person has not yet been approved for the post. Another point of view is that this is a post.
FB = Flag Bureau

The 7 divisions of a non SO org are:

HCO
Dissem
Treasury
Tech
Qual
Public
Executive

Hubbard Executive Secretary. This post is over the divisions: HCO, Dissemination and Treasury.
HCO is Division 1, Dissem is Division 2 and Treasury is Division 3.

HCO stands for Hubbard Communication Office and is responsible for handling of recruitment, communication and ethics.

Dissem is responsible for getting existing scientologists into the org and on lines. They send out promotional mail and letters and handle people when the show up at the org.

Treasury has 3 sections: Income, Disbursements and Records Assets and Material (RAM).

PES = Public Executive Secretary. Presides over the Public division. Responsible for getting new people into the org.

BODY REG = Body Registrar. There are essentially Letter Registrars and Body Registrars.
The Body Reg handles people who are physically in an org. The Letter Reg is supposed to write letters good enough to entice existing scientologists to come in to continue training/processing.

    The positions HCOES, PES and Body Reg are all part of a regular scientology org (also sometimes known as a class IV org.) The HCOES and PES are subordinates of the Executive Director (ED) of the org. There is no higher position in an org than ED.

The HCOES may be over the two technical divisions. There was another Executive Secretary over the Tech and Qual divisions: the OES (Org Exec Sec. Then there was the PES, Public Exec Sec, but that was mainly for the 9 division board, which fell into disuse.

Later on, Hubbard put in the Product Officer and Establishment Officer as sort of free floating executives. According to Hubbard, the Product Officer "names products and gets them" and the Establishment Officer makes sure the organization is in place to get those products (cope and organize).

The position of OPS exists in many kinds of orgs but *not* in a class IV org.

DVs or DVS = Disbursement Vouchers. Approval for payments.

EC = Executive Committee. The EC of an org is composed of HCOES, PES and the person over Tech

JOI = Judge of Investigation ?

"This book needs to be M9'ed, sidechecked ...". This actually is a method of control and a way to DIMINISH understanding by reducing critical thought. M9 is where the text is read aloud and if you stumble or pause, it means there is a word you don't understand. Not that there is something wrong in the text but somethign wrong with YOU.

"The new perception line has not been found". Hubbard used the word "line" to indicate a channel of communication or vector. For instance he had a maxim that said "the bank follows the line of attack". This would, as an example, be used to explain mob action. The leader creates a "line of attack" and the banks (the reactive minds) of the mob naturally follow the attack vector or line. My first guess for a definition of "perception line", would be something like a preconceived or preestablished way of receiving information.

"The PRO is going on with O/Ws and conditions on her false stats". Public Relations line: Hubbard's theory is that a person is held back from doing well in a particular area because of overts. An overt is something a person does which is contra-survival action (by their own consideration). An overt causes the person to withdraw from an area. Following the overt is a attempted hiding of that overt and this hiding is referred to as a withold. (i.e. you steal something and hide your participation in the theft - overt and withold.)

    Actual: In Scientology an overt is what is considered wrong by the organization! This idea that an overt is what YOU think you did wrong is one of the scams. Otherwise what the Greek government is doing is not an overt as they don't think so! No, an "overt" is what Hubbard and the group disagree with. Simple as that. That's why you study what is a "crime" and a "misdeameanor" and when you write up OWs, that is why they must be approved by an Ethics Officer, because they don't trust YOU to know what is a crime.

    Typical: Running Overt/Witholds is a method where the person is asked about the overts they have committed and then being asked about the attempts to hide the overt(s). When the person is able to talk about those things, then Hubbard felt that a persons "reach" into that area where the overt occurred would be increased and enabling the person to more effectively work in that area. Actual: The scam is that you learn to avoid the area! That's the control! Example: you complain about a senior. That's an overt. You come to learn to not complain about a senior! You don't learn to do it! You learn to AVOID it! That's the control and they do it by making you think you are doing the opposite !

"I was pulled onto a flap". A flap is a unfavorable situation with negative impact. An example of a flap would be a scientologist arrested and the newspapers reporting on it.

From the bottom up here is the way the regular scientology orgs are positioned.
Missions
Class IV Orgs
Saint Hill Orgs
Advanced Orgs.
Flag

Each of the level of organizations supplied a different set of services. When the scientologist finished at one, they were supposed to naturally migrate up to the next level of organization.

Missions, prior to 1982, were primarily independant and run by people who, in exchange for being allowed to use Hubbards "tech", were supposedly obligated to provide a regular flow of people to the Class IV Orgs. There was always some services that could be given at either the Mission or Class IV orgs. Services consisted of basic courses, (HAS, HQS, Dianetic Auditor) and basic auditing (Dianetics). The definition of what can be given at a Mission vs a Class IV org has been redefined a number of times. After 1982, the Missions were put under much tighter control by SMI, a SO management bureau.

Class IV orgs could offer anything that a Mission could offer plus all auditing grades and training up to the Power Processes. (Power Processes may or may not now be offered by the Saint Hill (SH) Organizations and were the exclusive domain of the SH orgs). These services were essentially Dianetics and the Grades 0-IV both training and auditing. A auditor who completed all the training was known as a Class IV auditor (thus the name).

Saint Hill orgs offer the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. Depending on current conditions, they offered the Power Processes and sometimes (depending on the current policies) they would offer the Clearing Course. A completion of the Briefing course was a Class VI auditor.

Advanced orgs offered the Clearing Course, and the advanced levels, OT 0 - VII. Offers training up to (as I recall) Class VIII.

Flag offers everything that any of the other orgs offers plus it delivers the most advanced training and auditing not available elsewhere such as the Class XII course and OT VIII auditing.

There is a SO management structure which I will confess I do not understand except in general terms. The top part of this apparently exists at GOLD, near Hemet in south of California, USA. From that position all administration flows. The CMO (Commodore's Messenger Org) is senior to the SO, but others say that CMO is a SO-type unit Flag units run the everyday management actions but these are run by WDC which is run by RTC. If it is all smooth, RTC stays with the flaps and doesn't bother with org management.All orgs above Missions must obey the SO command structure. Prior to 1982, Missions were very independant because they were corporately independant. It is obvious that the SMI management arm is managing Missions much more closely since then, but I do not know if the the Missions are still corporately independant.

Un must : "Ron Hubbard, le gourou démasqué"

Ce livre de Russell Miller révèle la face cachée de la scientologie. On y découvre un Ron Hubbard, malade, mythomane et poursuivi par la justice. Il est disponible en format pdf ou html sur notre site. Nous avons également publié une version résumée.
