MELBOURNE CONGRESS - PART 7 OF 8


GLOSSARY (A-K)

To assist in your understanding of these lectures, hard-to-find
terms and other words which you may not be familiar with are
included in this glossary. An example of usage from the lectures
is included at the end of each definition. These definitions give
only the meanings of the words as they are used in the lectures;
this glossary is not meant as a substitute for a dictionary.

A=A=A=A: anything equals anything equals anything equals
anything. This is the way the reactive mind thinks, irrationally
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. See also reactive bank in this glossary.
You look in Book One, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental
Health, you'll see A=A=A=A. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

ABBERRATED: affected by aberration. See aberration in this
glossary. You get then, in an aberrated world, any overtly
creative action being met in many quarters by destruction! - The
Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

ABERRATION: a departure from rational thought or behavior.
Aberration 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. Aberration is opposed to sanity, which would
be its opposite. From the Latin, aberrare, to wander from; Latin,
ab, away, errare, to wander. And all unlawful activities actually
stem from aberration, not from differences of opinion. -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ACC: abbreviation for Advanced Clinical Course, a theory and
research course which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of
the mind and the rationale of research and investigation. From
1953 to 1961 L. Ron Hubbard personally taught more than twenty
ACCs. The 1st Melbourne Advanced Clinical Course started the day
after the conclusion of this series of lectures. See also 1st
Melbourne ACC in this glossary. "Excellent clearing at the ACC."
- Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

ACC, last US: the 21st American Advanced Clinical Course, given
by L. Ron Hubbard in Washington, DC, 5 January - 13 February
1959. See also ACC in this glossary. And of course we had two ACC
Instructors over here that when we were assessing people in the
last ACC  --  we were assessing people madly (last US ACC) to
find out what was the most likely present time button they had. -
Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

AGLEY: (chiefly Scottish) awry; wrong. The only reason you ever
see me let my name go up on doors in organizations and that sort
of thing is because I had learned by August of 1950 that unless I
was willing to take ownership for it, it would go all agley. -
Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

ALLIES: the countries of Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union,
the United States, etc., which fought against the Axis (Germany,
Italy, Japan, etc.) in World War II (1939-1945). I finally
figured out why the Allies won the war over the Japs: because the
Jap high command was stupider than ours. - Welcome Address (7
Nov. 59)

ALTER-is: the action of altering or changing the reality of
something. Isness means the way it is. When someone sees it
differently he is doing an alter-is, in other words, is altering
the way it is. Nineteenth century said that you had to write it
all down in books, which is an alter-is. - Recent Developments on
OT (7 Nov. 59)

AMERICAN COLLEGE: short for American College of Personnel
Efficiency, a Scientology organization at the time of this
lecture that gave lectures on basic Scientology subjects and
delivered auditing and training to public. Staff, American
College, Perth. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION: an organization formed in the
United States in 1844, as the Association of Medical
Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane, by
thirteen superintendents of mental hospitals. It later changed
its name to American Psychiatric Association. It promotes the use
of psychiatry, and seeks to protect and forward the vested
interests of psychiatrists. We caused a fantastic amount of upset
in Washington, DC by officially sending a representative from the
HASI over to the American Psychiatric Association just to find
out if they were being ethical according to our codes. -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ANCHOR POINTS: assigned or agreed-upon points of boundary, which
are conceived to be motionless by the individual; those points
which demark the outermost boundaries of a space or its corners.
Get those anchor points back. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

ARC BREAKS: causes an ARC break with. An ARC break is a sudden
drop or cutting of one's affinity, reality or communication 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. Or they just can't be audited by the auditor and the
auditor is a very bad auditor and he ARC breaks them all the time
and he's very bad and it's all bad over there and so forth. -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ARM: short for tone arm. See tone arm in this glossary. And
you're sitting  there and the tone arm is sitting at about 4.5 or
5.0 --  as the auditor --  and you just can't get this pc to talk
and it's high arm and then you don't  seem to get any facts out
of the case and just can't seem to break it down  and case making
no progress and so forth. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ARYAN: in Nazi doctrine, of a non-Jewish Caucasian (a member of
the so-called "white race"), especially one with physical
characteristics like those of the Scandinavians, such as blond
hair, blue eyes, a long head, and above-average height. See also
Nazi in this glossary. "Well, he's probably a misguided man in
that he was a zealot, and he made some beautiful autobahns, and
he got the German race better known through out the world and he
purified the blood of the Aryan people." - The Route Through Step
Six (7 Nov. 59)

AS-ISES: makes (something) disappear just by looking at it and
conceiving exactly what it is. For more information, see the
Scientology Axioms in Scientology 0-8: The Book of Basics by L.
Ron Hubbard. And one forgets that basically one has trem -- as
many similarities to Joe as he has differences from Joe and never
runs out, as-ises or does anything to those identifications,
those similarities. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

ASSESS: do an assessment, the action of an auditor asking a
series of questions of a preclear and noting reactions to them
with an E-Meter. This helps to isolate specific areas or subjects
on which a preclear has charge so that they can be addressed in
auditing. See also charge in this glossary. And what you do is
assess them for this-lifetime valences they've adopted by finding
the greatest needle reaction on broad classes, like men, women,
go up the dynamics, sort out all the possibles by broad classes
and find some class that reacts on the needle more than others. -
Valences (8 Nov. 59)

ASSIST: a simple, easily done process that can be applied to
anyone to help them recover more rapidly from accidents, mild
illness or upsets. And one of the most spectacular things to do
is to give somebody an assist immediately after they're injured.
- Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ASSOCIATION SECRETARY: the person who ran a Central Organization.
See also Central Organization in this glossary. And you say, "No!
No! We want this balance sheet for the Association Secretary." -

ASTERISKS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS: punctuation marks used in comic
strips in place of swear words and profane language. You know, in
the comic strips where they have asterisks and exclamation points
in the balloons -- well, there's no reason to say that about
society in general. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

AUDIT: apply Dianetics and Scientology processes and procedures
to someone. See also process in this glossary. They were using
Book One to audit with and they'd simply open Book One, you see,
and read it off to the preclear. - Recent Developments on OT (7
Nov. 59)

AUDITING: another word for processing. See also processing in
this glossary. And unless those conditions exist, you don't get
any auditing done. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

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. And it leaves Scientology with a job on it hands it
never intended to have and didn't want and puts pressure on the
line of dissemination and colors organizational actions, even
colors the actions of individual auditors and so on, makes them
hit pretty hard. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

AUTHORS LEAGUE OF AMERICA: a professional organization of authors
of books, magazine materials and plays, founded in 1912. In the
first place we had our biggest ARC break in 1947 when I was
writing, as a member of the Authors League of America, stories
which would not fit themselves into the framework required by the
officers and directors of the Authors League of America which was
100 percent, almost, Communist Party card-carrying members! -
Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

AUTOMATICITY: a thing one is doing but is unaware or only
partially aware he is doing; something the individual has "on
automatic." An automaticity is something which ought to be under
the control of the individual, but isn't. Just like that -- bang!
-- automaticity. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

BACK, OFF OF (ONE'S): (informal) stopped from bothering (one);
removed as an annoyance or pest.... and I was their spokesman in
an effort to get them and it off of my back and keep from
inheriting the administrative burden, because I didn't have any
idea of wanting to be the "famous person." - Final Lecture (8
Nov. 59)

BACK, TURNED (ONE'S): (informal) refused to take any notice of or
give support to. Used figuratively in this lecture. I simply
turned my back on organizations. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

BACKFLASH: a variation of backlash, a sudden, forceful backward
movement; recoil. I've now started a backflash on the line and I
keep telling -- I tried about a year ago to make a joke out of
this and tell some people over in England, "You know if you don't
watch it, you're going to become an American colony, you know." -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

BACKTRACK: the area in time prior to a person's present life. If
you look on the backtrack you'll very often find, though, that
what really upsets them is not being up -- it doesn't upset them
to be buried. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

BANK: the mental image picture collection of the preclear -- the
reactive mind. It comes from computer terminology where all data
is in a "bank." Just because myself and a half-dozen other people
that were on the research lines and so forth didn't run into the
solid bank phenomena, we went ahead and released it broadly. -
Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

BASIC-BASIC: the first engram. of the first chain of engrams. See
also engram in this glossary. I'll just sail out into the blue,
and those that don't know all the basic basics, and -- or their
own basic-basic -- keep up with me as you can. - The Route
Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

BATTERY: (military) an emplacement or fortification equipped with
heavy guns. Used humorously in this lecture. I was the
antiaircraft battery. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

BEINGNESS: condition or state of being; existence. Beingness also
refers to the assumption or choosing of a category of identity.
Beingness can be assumed by oneself or given to oneself or
attained. Examples of beingness would be one's own name, one's
profession, one's physical characteristics, one's role in a game
-- each or all of these could be called one's beingness. He's
creating it less and less and then he decides he doesn't like it,
so he'll alter-is it in some fashion or other to destroy his
former beingness. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

BLOOMER: (slang) a blunder; a goof. There are probably a half a
dozen bloomers on public releases over the past nine or ten
years, and I made every single one of them and corrected them
afterwards and said so. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

BLUE MOON, ONCE IN A: (informal) extremely infrequently, so
rarely as to be almost never. The expression comes from an
unusual bluish tinge to the face of the moon, occurring very
rarely, which has led some to call it a "blue moon." The bluish
coloration has been attributed to atmospheric pollution such as
that caused from large volcanic eruptions. Once in a blue moon  -
- I could say we make a mistake; I won't -- once in a blue moon I
make a mistake; I take full responsibility for it. - Recent
Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

BOAT, MISS THE: (informal) miss the point of something; fail to

hard. A variation of worked (one's) fingers to the bone. Here I
come home, worked hard all day, sweated my fingers to the bone. -

BOOK ONE: the first book published on the subject of Dianetics,
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. See also
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in this glossary.
And, I demonstrated it time and time again, did it often and --
and it was highly successful, and even today you can take Book
One and open it up, as I have had somebody do, read the
"canceller" or something on it, you know? - Recent Developments
on OT (7 Nov. 59)

BRACKET: a word taken from the field of artillery, where one
fires shots over and under a target so as to make sure and hit
the target. Over and under, over and under, and one eventually
hits the target. In Scientology processing, a bracket is a series
of questions or commands based on the number of ways or number of
combinations in which something can occur. A bracket covers the
potential directions of flow of an action as they relate to the
preclear. Examples of the different flows that could be run in a
bracket are: the individual doing the action himself, somebody
else doing it, others doing it, the individual doing it to
somebody else, somebody doing it to him, others doing it to
others, etc. You could go around a five-way bracket, numerous
questions. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

BRISBANE: (1) the capital and principal seaport of Queensland,
Australia. Well, I got mixed up in the early part of the war and
got detoured and that sort of thing, and I finally wound up
falling back to Brisbane. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

BRUSH (SOMETHING) OFF: dismiss (something) as unimportant or
inconsequential; make light of (something). They just not-is it

this if we possibly can and maybe it won't happen." - Welcome
Address (7 Nov. 59)

BUDDHISM: the religion founded by Siddhartha Gautama Buddha (ca
563-483 B.C.), a religious philosopher and teacher who lived in
India. The hope of Buddhism was, by various practices, to break
the endless chain of births and deaths and to reach salvation in
one lifetime. There's a great oddity about this: This is
specially forbidden in old-time Buddhism. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

BULLETIN: short for Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin. See
HCOB in this glossary. And she gets routine issues of bulletins
and so forth, material and so on, that I write, and makes sure
they go out. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

BUNK: (slang) nonsense. If anybody in the world thought we were
fakes and it was a lot of bunk, they would never attack us for a
minute. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

BUREAU OF NAVAL OPERATIONS: a section of the United States Navy
which is responsible for the utilization of resources and
operating efficiency of the naval forces. I opened up the trans-
Pacific telephone line and called the Bureau of Naval Operations,
Navy Department, Washington, DC, because I'd sent them already
ten messages without any single reply. - Welcome Address (7 Nov.
59)

BUSINESS: (colloquial) trash; rubbish. Used figuratively in this
lecture.  " ...so we'll give him a bunch of business." - Valences
(8 Nov. 59)

BUST THAT TONE ARM DOWN: bring an E-Meter tone arm which is above
normal range down so that the preclear will react more normally
on the E-Meter. See also E-Meter and tone arm in this glossary.
Well, nowadays we don't get violent on the subject but we are apt
to reach out and grab that person and sit him down and have a
little talk with him on an E-Meter, and bust that tone arm down
anyway. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

BUTTON: an item, word, phrase, subject or area that causes
response or reaction in an individual. So the fact that he's
painted a picture touches the button which makes them have to
destroy the picture, and if he continues to paint pictures,
obviously they have to destroy him. The Route Through Step Six (7
Nov. 59)

CANCELLER: a contract with the preclear that whatever the auditor
says will not become literally interpreted by the preclear or
used by him in any way. It prevents accidental positive
suggestion. A canceller is worded more or less as follows: "In
the future, when I utter the word cancelled, everything which I
have said to you while you are in a therapy session will be
cancelled and will have no force with you. Any suggestion I have
made to you will be without force when I say the word cancelled."
And, I demonstrated it time and time again, did it often and --
and it was highly successful, and even today you can take Book
One and open it up, as I have had somebody do, read the
"canceller" or something on it, you know? - Recent Developments

CAPRI: a small, economy car manufactured by Ford Motor Company (a
US automobile manufacturer founded in 1903 by Henry Ford). See

Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

CART WAS PUT BEHIND THE HORSE: something was begun at the proper
place; things were done in the proper order. A variation of the
phrase don't put the cart before the horse. So, in this case it
was definitely the cart was put behind the horse. - Final Lecture
(8 Nov. 59)

CASE: a general term for a person being treated or helped. Case
also refers to a person's condition, which is monitored by the
content of his reactive mind. A person's case is the way he
responds to the world around him by reason of his aberrations.
See also aberration and reactive bank in this glossary. Return
him to the incident necessary to resolve his case, run him from
the beginning to the end of the thing through and through and
through, make him reexperience the thing fully and totally and so
on, and get rid of his sciatica or baldness or almost anything! -
Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

CENTRAL ORGANIZATION: the name at the time of this lecture for a
Scientology organization which provided services (training,
auditing and certification) to the public. Of course, a HASI is
the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International that has
offices on every continent and has its central office for
Australia at 157 Spring Street, Melbourne, and is the Central
Organization for Australia. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov.
59)

CHARGE: harmful energy or force accumulated and stored in the
reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant
experiences that a person has had. By charge is meant anger,
fear, grief or apathy contained as misemotion in the case. See
also reactive bank in this glossary. You finally -- if you've
seen enough people, you can look at a person twenty feet away and
you say, "That boy's got a charge on him and the charge is right
now, and there's something wrong right here." - Importances (8
Nov. 59)

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT: (chiefly British) a member of one of the
institutes of accountants in Britain, Australia, Canada, etc.,
which has been granted a royal charter. In the first place -- in
the first place an Australian chartered accountant is at total
odds on how to do it (you wouldn't believe this, but it's true)
with a London chartered accountant; they don't quite talk the
same language. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

CHOP: (informal) to give very critical or insulting remarks. You
know, chop-chop-chop. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

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. He 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. See also reactive bank
in this glossary. And the only people who could have pictures and
not have them be a total liability would be a Clear, because the
difference between a Clear and a person who is not Clear is not a
total absence of pictures, as everybody tries to define it. -
Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

CLEARED: brought, through processing, to the state of Clear. See
also processing and Clear in this glossary. Just because a number
of people were cleared using it, why we thought, "That's it." -
Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

CO-AUDIT: short for cooperative auditing. It means a team of any
two people who are helping each other reach a better life with
Dianetics or Scientology auditing. Therefore, a great many people
in co-audit units -- some percentage which hasn't been
established but is probably less than 50 percent -- well,
considerably less, maybe only 20 percent, 25, something like
that, not been established but something on that order -- sitting
there not in-session. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

CODE NAPOLEON: the civil code of France, enacted in 1804 under
the directions of French military leader Napoleon Bonaparte

Code Napoleon, you know, and read down -- "Right conduct. " -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

CODE OF A SCIENTOLOGIST: a code which governs the activity of a
Scientologist in general. It was evolved from many years of
observation and experience and is supported by leading
Scientologists. The code states in part: "As a Scientologist, I
pledge myself to the Code of Scientology for the good of all...
To refuse to accept for processing, and to refuse to accept money
from, any preclear or group I feel I cannot honestly help." But
they don't dare adopt the Code of a Scientologist! - Importances
(8 Nov. 59)

COLD: lacking in passion, enthusiasm, etc. But it wasn't for
everybody, this series of processes -- it still left a lot of
People cold. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

COMMISSAR: formerly, the head of a government department in the
Soviet Union. Boy, I don't know what it says in Russian, but when
it comes down to it, I think if you asked any commissar to
practice pure communism, he would be sure you were trying to
start the counterrevolution; he'd probably have you shot. -
Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

COMMUNIST PARTY: a political party advocating the principles of
communism. But at the end of July 1950, a terrible thing had
occurred: The Communist Party had elected me out. - Final Lecture
(8 Nov. 59)

COMPOUND CALCULUS WITH ANALYTICAL FIGMENTS: a humorous and
significant-sounding made-up phrase. Calculus is a form of
mathematics in which you can make calculations about quantities
which are continually changing, such as the speed of a falling
stone or the slope of a curved line. Get the thing all computed
out in compound calculus with analytical figments, get it put
into the local university as a necessary subject if you're going
to understand engineering, prove it all conclusively. - Recent
Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

CONFUCIUS: (ca 551-479 B.C.) an ancient Chinese philosopher and
teacher whose philosophy of ethics stressed two virtues: the
rules of proper conduct and benevolent love. Confucius taught
many other virtues, including loyalty, faithfulness, wisdom,
rightness and self-cultivation. These virtues he summed up in his
ideal of the true gentleman, or "the princely or superior man."
And the reason the communist had a China to break up, and the
reason China never got up is because a fellow by the name of
Confucius who could write -- not that I have anything comparable
magnitude to that -- but this fellow laid down a code of right
conduct! - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

CONGRESS: an assembly of Scientologists held in any of various
cities around the world for a presentation of Dianetics and/or
Scientology materials. Many congresses were addressed directly by
Ron. Others were based upon taped LRH lectures or films on a
particular subject. The point is, right now, is I'm awfully glad
you're here and I'm awfully glad to be here, and I hope by this
time you've got a congress. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

CORNELL MEDICAL COLLEGE: one of the divisions of Cornell
University (a private university in south central New York State,
USA). The Cornell Medical College is located in New York City.

years ago, so-and-so of Cornell Medical College has
discovered..." - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

CORNY: (colloquial) unsophisticated; worn out by constant use, no

convoy escort. They shipped me home and within a week gave me
corvettes, North Atlantic. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

CRANKSHAFT: the main shaft of an engine which changes the
reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotary motion. You can
say, "Well, I am that automobile. What's wrong with me? Ah! Now I
am myself," back off, and you can say, "You know, that thing's
got a busted crankshaft." - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

CUFF, OFF (ONE'S) OWN: (informal) without preparation. The
expression refers to the practice of a person who is going to
give a public speech writing words on the cuff of his shirt to

proud of that. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

learned, the brand-new ones in England -- darnedest mishmash you

DEAD HORSE, BEATING A: (colloquial) trying to get satisfaction
from something that cannot or can no longer give it. From a

remarkable thing because they're beating a dead horse. - Final
Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

DEVIL, GOING TO THE: (informal) becoming bad or ruined; becoming
useless. But at this particular time I hope you'll forgive my
occasional inattentions, my seeming to be way off someplace else
and -- when you yourself knew it was all going to the devil and
there was no interest paid to it whatsoever. - Final Lecture (8
Nov. 59)

DIANETICS: comes from the Greek words dia, meaning "through" and
nous, meaning "soul." Dianetics is a methodology developed by L.
Ron Hubbard which can help alleviate such things as unwanted
sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic
illnesses. It is most accurately described as what the soul is
doing to the body through the mind. Somebody's always coming
along and telling you, "Well, Ron's always changing Dianetics and
Scientology." - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

DIANETICS: THE MODERN SCIENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH: the basic text on
Dianetics techniques, written by L. Ron Hubbard and first
published in 1950. The work is divided into three major sections:
Book One, The Goal of Man; Book Two, The Single Source of All
Inorganic Mental and Organic Psychosomatic Ills and Book Three,

observable, and you'll find that in Book One, Dianetics: The
Modern Science of Mental Health. - The Route Through Step Six (7

ELECTRIC SHOCK: (psychiatry) the practice of administering an
electric shock to the head of a patient in a supposed effort to

E-METER: short for electrometer; 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. But you, in addressing this case,
don't at once suppose that because it's got a high E-Meter arm
and because the fellow won't talk and the process doesn't seem to
be getting anyplace and all that sort of thing -- don't be so
quick to blame yourself or -- and don't be so quick to think it
is some fantastically high crime! - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ENGRAM: a mental image picture 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

must, by definition, have impact or injury as part of its
content. 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

work at it and sacrifice their time, energy and so forth to keep
it going. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

calculated that if the Ford Foundation or some vast organization

have finished it in 2080 A.D. at a cost of twenty million dollars
a year -- something on that order. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

FORMALDEHYDE: a colorless, toxic gas, having a suffocating odor.
It is used in the procedure of embalming dead bodies as it

confident. They know they know and do not even bother to assert
that they know. They control their environment. See also Tone
Scale in this glossary. You can just go a hundred hours -- just

HITLER: Adolf Hitler, (1889-1945), dictator of Germany from 1933

many parts of India until they were suppressed by the British in
the nineteenth century, practiced a ritual of robbery by deceit
and strangulation in the name of Kali. In India, on the darkest
night of November, goats are slain as sacrifices to her. See also
