LAMP, SERVANT OF THE: reference to a jinni (a supernatural being
that can take human or animal form and either help or harm
people) in a lamp who is under the control of a summoner. For
example, in one of the stories of the Arabian Nights, a boy named

two jinnis appear to do his bidding. He isn't a servant of the
lamp or the body, you know. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND: the economic statement that the
competition of buyers and sellers tends to make such changes in
price that the demand for any article in a given market will
become equal to the supply. In other words, if demand exceeds the
supply the price rises, operating so as to reduce the demand and
so enable the supply to meet it, and vice versa. And that's --
beside from the law of supply and demand, which is part of that -
- that's about all you need to know about inflation and
deflation and economics - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

divisions of Scientology throughout the world. - Welcome Address

Nov. 59)

LOW-SCALE: low on the Tone Scale. See also Tone Scale in this

people, something like that, cutting this person to pieces. - The
Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

MACARTHUR: Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) US general; supreme

World War II, Malaysia was captured by the Japanese. See also

personnel drifting through this port that nobody's taking any
responsibility for." - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

MAN OF THE YEAR: a person considered to be an outstanding example

1927 Time magazine's Man of the Year has been chosen with the
stated guiding principle of identifying the person who, for
better or for worse, has had the most impact on that year's
events. And I -- although one time -- one time they sarcastically
said they had had many nominations for me as Man of the Year --
and they had had, but they, of course, thought this was very bad.
- Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

MCCOY, REAL: the genuine article; the person or thing as
represented. This phrase originated in Scotland as the real
Mackay and referred to people and things of the highest quality,
and in particular to a brand of whiskey. Later, in America, the
phrase was used in reference to an outstanding boxer by the name
of McCoy, retaining its basic meaning of "the real thing." They
only attack the real McCoy. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

MEDICAL EXAMINER: a government official who performs examinations
of bodies after death to determine the cause of death. Nowadays
with the embalmer's art being what it is -- and by the way, the
medical examiner of the city of New York explained to me one day,
he said, "Well, the Egyptian, well, he might have thought he knew
a thing or two." - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

MENTAL IMAGE PICTURE: a mental copy of one's perceptions sometime
in the past; three-dimensional color pictures with sound and
smell and all other perceptions, plus the conclusions or
speculations of the individual. For example, if a person was in a
car accident, he would retain "pictures" of that experience in
his mind, complete with recordings of the sights, physical
sensations, smells, sounds, etc., that occurred during that
incident. For further information on mental image pictures and
how the mind works, read Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental
Health by L. Ron Hubbard. You make a picture, a mental image
picture, more visible and more solid for an individual whose
engrams are still live with big claws. - Recent Developments on
OT (7 Nov. 59)

MEST CLEAR: an individual who no longer retains engrams, these
having been erased by Dianetics processing. MEST is a word coined
from the initial letters of matter, energy, space and time (the
component parts of the physical universe) which is also used as
an adjective to mean physical -- as in "mest universe," meaning
the "physical universe." See also engram in this glossary. And
that was sufficiently effective that it led in -- well, it's less
than 50 percent of the cases -- to what you might call a MEST
Clear. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

METER: short for E-Meter. See E-Meter in this glossary. And the
people that read high on those meters, they're just unwilling to
talk to the auditor. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

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. And that people had mental image pictures and that
these pictures were the cause -- the recording of them, the cause
of the continuance of pressure or bad feeling or misemotion or
something of the sort...  - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

MISHMASH TOOL COMPANY: a made-up name for a company. So if you
have somebody -- there's a job called governor general of the
Mishmash Tool Company, see. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov.
59)

MOCK (SOMETHING) UP: create a mock-up of (something). A mock-up
is a full-perceptic energy picture in three dimensions, created
by the thetan and having location in space and time. A mock-up is
more than a mental picture; it is a self-created object which
exists as itself or symbolizes some object in the physical
universe. The term was derived from the World War II phrase for
miniature models that were constructed to symbolize weapons
(airplanes, ships, artillery, etc.) or areas of attack (hills,
rivers, buildings, etc.) for use in planning a battle. See also
thetan in this glossary. If he wants to see again his being
beheaded, whenever it was, he can mock it up, and look at it and
even put the pain into it and go the rest of the way through the
thing again. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

MORSE CODE: a system in which letters, numbers, punctuation and
other signs are expressed by dots, dashes and spaces, wigwags of
a flag, long and short sounds, or flashes of light. Morse code is
now used mainly in signaling and in some telegraphy. And then
having established this fact, they have to choose whether or not
it's going to be verbal communication or done by Morse code or
something. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

MOTIVATOR: an aggressive or destructive act received by the
person or one of the dynamics. The reason it is called a
"motivator" is because it tends to prompt that one pays it back -
- it "motivates" a new overt. See also overt act in this
glossary. See, he then dreams up motivators. - Importances (8
Nov. 59)

NAME, RANK AND SERIAL NUMBER: precise identity. Informal usage
from a familiar clause of a US code of conduct for American men
taken prisoner which states that a prisoner is "bound to give
only name, rank, service number and date of birth." And I gave my
name, rank and serial number. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

NAV: short for naval. Reason, you see -- the reference was 'All
NAV (something or other, something or other)" which the -- any
officer who had served in these waters and area up to the
beginning of summer of 1942, would not be returned to these
waters for a year. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

NAZI: of or concerning the National Socialist German Workers'
Party which, in 1933, seized political control of Germany under
the leadership of Adolf Hitler (1889-1945). In alliance with
Italy and, later, Japan, Nazi-controlled Germany entered into a
large-scale war with many other nations of the world, which came
to be called World War II. The Nazi party was officially
abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of the war. Nazi comes from
the German word Nazi(onalsozialist). See also Hitler and World
War II in this glossary. [Definition of Aryan] in Nazi doctrine

NECK, ON (SOMEONE'S): (informal) making insistent demands of

patient who was disgruntled and upset and had been cut to ribbons
and chopped up and charged to death and so forth, you'd have them
right back on their necks. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

NE PLUS ULTRA: the utmost limit to which one can go or has gone;
the furthest point reached or capable of being reached. In Latin,
it means "(let there) not (be) more (sailing) beyond," alleged to
have been inscribed on the Pillars of Hercules (two headlands on
either side of the Strait of Gibraltar). The exact location of
something happening and an immediate address to an injury gives
you Scientology at the ne plus ultra. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

NEURONS: the main units that make up the nerves. They consist of
cell bodies with threadlike parts that carry signals to and from
the cells. Now, that tells us where we are in relationship to
Wundtian psychology which was invented in 1879 in Leipzig,
Germany on the premise that man is an animal that reacts on
neurons and synapses. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

NEUROSIS: a condition wherein a person is insane or disturbed on
some subject (as opposed to psychosis, wherein a person is just
insane in general). He said, "You'll be very interested that it
has neuroses." - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

NORTHERN LAKES: the Great Lakes, a series of five lakes between
the United States and Canada, comprising Lakes Erie, Huron,

this big battle up in the northern lakes. - Importances (8 Nov.

NOT-IS: try to create out of existence by postulate or force
something which one knows, priorly, exists. They just not-is it
and brush it off and say, "Well, we're all going to stay blind to
this if we possibly can and maybe it won't happen." - Welcome
Address (7 Nov. 59)

of OGPU, an organization (1922-1923) for investigating and

rampant. Send for the O-Gay-Pay-Oo and J. Edgar Hoover, see. -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

OLD SCHOOL TIE: (informal) the clannishness and conservatism
conventionally associated with graduates of certain English
schools. This expression comes from the necktie, worn by former
students, which is striped in the distinctive colors of any of
these exclusive English public schools (schools where one pays
tuition)'. Now, you ever hear of the "old school tie"? - Valences
(8 Nov. 59)

1.1: the numerical designation for covert hostility on the Tone
Scale. See also Tone Scale in this glossary. There's many a wife
who is just furiously angry with the husband -- privately,
covertly, down at 1.1, you know, on the subject -- who is simply
angry because she has done something to the husband. -
Importances (8 Nov. 59)

ONLY ONE: an individual who is operating on only the first
dynamic and is not actually aware of or operating on any other
dynamics. In this state the individual must have no effect on
self and total effect on everything and everybody else. See also
dynamics in this glossary. And he's so individuated, in other
words, he's so "only one" -- of course an auditor has no part in
the session at all. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

OT: abbreviation for Operating Thetan: a being "at cause over
matter, energy, space, time, form and life." Operating comes from
"able to operate without dependency on things." See also thetan
in this glossary. Well, some recent developments have occurred
technically in the field of Scientology which give us the courage
to go for broke on OT. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

oneself And the person says, "I don't create it. It's totally
other-determined." - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

against his wife. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

actually avoid them or cease to try to overwhump them or cease to
try to do something for them. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

OXFORD: short for Oxford University; one of the world's most
prestigious universities, located in Oxford, England. There are
even fellows who have been sent to Oxford (it's not "Oxford" you
know, it's "Oxford") -- there have been fellows sent to
"Oxford"... - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

PANZER DIVISION: an armored division of the German army,
especially in World War II consisting chiefly of tanks and
organized for making rapid attacks. From the German word panzer
meaning "armor." Armored vehicles played a vital role in early
German success and later the victory of the Allies in World War
II. See also World War II and Allies in this glossary. In the
Second World War they wound up with their panzer divisions and
all kinds of subdivisions and battle tactics and names and
nomenclature and so forth. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov.
59)

PEARL HARBOR: a major United States naval base in Hawaii that was
attacked by the Japanese Air Force on 7 December 1941 with great
loss of American lives and ships. The attack on Pearl Harbor

Harbor -- thud. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

PE CO-AUDIT: short for Personal Efficiency Co-audit, a part of
the Personal Efficiency Course in which students co-audited each

PERRY, OLIVER HAZARD: (1785-1819) American naval officer. He was
ordered to build a fleet on Lake Erie in the northeastern United
States in order to prevent British advance during the War of
1812. On 10 September 1813, the Battle of Lake Erie was fought in
which Perry heroically forced the full surrender of the British
vessels. And somebody, I think it was Oliver Hazard Perry or some
such great naval hero said -- after they'd whipped a British
vessel, he says, "Don't cheer, boys, the poor devils are dying."
- Importances (8 Nov. 59)

PIECES, CUTS (SOMETHING) TO: destroys or defeats (something)

serve some different reason or purpose. - Final Lecture (8 Nov.
59)

POSTULATING: making a postulate, a conclusion, decision or
resolution made by the individual himself to resolve a problem or
to set a pattern for the future or to nullify a pattern of the
past. For example, a person says, "I like Model -- T Fords. I am
never going to drive another car." Years later, no longer
consciously aware of this postulate, he will wonder why he is
having so much trouble with his Buick; it's because he has made
an earlier promise to himself. In order to change he has to
change that postulate. Instead of just postulating it out of the
way or doing something effective and efficient, why, I decided
there might be some better way of going about this. - Importances
(8 Nov. 59)

PRECLEAR: a person not yet Clear, hence pre-Clear; generally, a
person being audited, who is thus on the road to Clear; a person
who, through processing, is finding out more about himself and

it off to the preclear. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

PRENATAL: a Dianetics term which is used to denote an engram

shifts of emphasis this way and that. - Recent  Developments on
OT (7 Nov. 59)

PROCESSING: the application of Dianetics or Scientology processes
to someone  by a trained auditor. The exact definition of
processing is: The action of asking a preclear a question (which
he can understand and answer) getting an answer to that question

does the training, the processing. - The Route  Through Step Six
(7 Nov. 59)

PROFILE: a specially prepared graph which plots ten traits of a
person's character based upon a personality test administered to
him. Id like to release for the first time at this congress the
solution to a problem which you will find as far back as Book One
and which is probably the main thing that keeps a profile or your
graph on tests and so forth right where  it is. - Valences (8
Nov. 59)

PROSEPAH: a made-up word. Well, it might have been better insight

psychiatry in this  glossary. I'll shorten it and merely say
they're psychiatrists. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

diagnosing and  treating mental disorders. In psychoanalysis,
old-time nineteenth-century practices, psychiatry, all these old-
hat sort of things, they're legion - the examples -- that they --
a practitioner starts to help somebody and instantly  kills him.
- The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

PSYCHOANALYSIS: a system of mental therapy developed in 1894 by
Sigmund Freud. It depended upon the following practices for its
effects: The patient was made to talk about and recall his
childhood for years while the practitioner brought about a
transfer of the patient's personality to his own and searched for
hidden sexual incidents believed by Freud to be the only cause of
aberration. The practitioner read sexual significances into all
statements and evaluated them for the patient along sexual lines.
Each of these points later proved to be based upon false premises
and incomplete research, accounting for their lack of result and
the subsequent failure of the subject and its offshoots. See also
Freud, Sigmund in this glossary. I define psychology, or tell
them about psycho analysis and define psychoanalysis and tell
them the facts, you know -- brrrrrrrr -- and they're this and
that and so on, and so it all adds up this way and so forth. -
Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

PSYCHOLOGIST: one who practices psychology. See also psychology
in this glossary. You walk up to a psychologist, you say, "What
do you know about mental image pictures?" - Recent Developments
on OT (7 Nov. 59)

PSYCHOLOGY: the study of the human brain and stimulus-response
mechanisms. It states that "Man, to be happy, must adjust to his
environment." In other words, man, to be happy, must be a total
effect. Now, that tells us where we are in relationship to
Wundtian psychology which was invented in 1879 in Leipzig,
Germany on the premise that man is an animal that reacts on
neurons and synapses. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

PSYCHOTIC: insane; characterized by psychosis, any severe form of
mental disorder; insanity. This is typically a psychotic
reaction. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

Boston was sometimes called a pumpkin because of the number of
pumpkins raised and eaten there. She's actually some pumpkins. -
The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

QUANTA: (physics) the plural of quantum, the smallest quantity of
radiant energy (energy transmitted in wave motion), such as heat,
light, x-rays. Now, you can get people out making atomic bombs,
and figuring out quanta, and missiles and bigger missiles and
rarrr, and brrrr and fixing it up so they land flags on the Sea
of Dreams, and -- and accidentally land in the Sea of Violence. -
Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

QUANTA OF THE INVERSE ELECTRODE: a humorous and significant-
sounding made-up phrase. Let's erect something here that has
glittering metal bars and balls and transformers and dials and
all sorts of things and then write a textbook that has to do with
the quanta of the inverse electrode. - Recent Developments on OT
(7 Nov. 59)

QUANTUM MECHANICS: the branch of physics that deals with atomic
structure and phenomena. And you can go off into complications
that have gimmicks and ruddy rods and quantum mechanics and
everything else all piled on top of this thing, gah-woof! - The
Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

RAILS, OFF THE: in a disorganized or confused state. A reference
to the rails that a train runs on. And you can always tell where
we're just a little bit off the rails because a little kid can't
understand what we're talking about. - Recent Developments on OT
(7 Nov. 59)

RANDOMITY: a consideration of motion. We have plus randomity and
we have minus randomity. We can have, from the individual's
consideration, too much or too little motion, or enough motion.
What's enough motion measured by? The consideration of the
individual. The term randomity is often used to mean simply too
much motion or action. No randomity in that person's vicinity and
somebody who makes some randomity and apparently has a lot more
noise around him., and so forth, gets promoted and that person
doesn't. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

REACTIVE BANK: same as reactive mind, a portion of a person's
mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis (given a
certain stimulus it will automatically create a certain response)
which is not under a person's volitional control and which exerts
force and the power of command over his awareness, purposes,
thoughts, body and actions. Now, let's take a reactive bank;
there it is. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

READ HIGH: register high on the E-Meter tone arm. See also E-
Meter and tone arm in this glossary. And the people that read
high on those meters they're just unwilling to talk to the
auditor. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

RETURN: cause a preclear to go into a past period. A person can
"send" a portion of his mind to a past period on either a mental
or combined mental and physical basis and can reexperience
incidents which have taken place in his past in the same fashion
and with the same sensations as before. 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)

RIBBONS, CUT (SOMEONE OR SOMETHING) TO: a variation of cut
(someone or something) to pieces. See pieces, cuts (something) to
in this glossary. Then all that person can do is cut him to
ribbons! - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

RIGHT BOWER OF THE VORTICAL CURVE PUT ON BY GOD: a humorous and
significant-sounding made-up phrase. But, if you don't understand
those words -- if "telekinesis" is "the right bower of the
vortical curve put on by God," you say, "Well, that's -- I don't
know about that " - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

ROCK: a reach and withdraw mechanism which a person has used to
reach people or things with. The cycle of the Rock is: A person
(1) failed to communicate himself; (2) started using something to
communicate with; (3) put the last item on automatic and it
created for him; (4) it failed. It is the first shift of valence,
the loss of identity of self and the assumption of identity of
something else. See also valence in this glossary.... and finally
they'd come down to the first time the person ducked his own
identity and assumed another identity and we call that the Rock.

RUBENS: Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), diplomat, scholar and the
most famous Flemish painter of his time. He painted historical
and religious scenes, landscapes and portraits of kings,

RUSSIANS, MAP SHOT BY THE: reference to the first successful
photographs of the far side of the moon which were taken by a
Russian satellite in October, 1959. And the last map shot by the
Russians when that thing went around back there -- its
photographic quality is very sour, but it shows that they more or

all respects." - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

SCIENTOLOGY: comes from the Latin scio, which means "know" and
the Greek word logos, meaning "the word or outward form by which
the inward thought is expressed and made known." Thus,
Scientology means knowing about knowing. Scientology is an
applied religious philosophy developed by L. Ron Hubbard. It is
the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself,
universes and other life. This means a great deal to Scientology
in general because what it does is tie up, under a public limited
company status, all of the various branches and divisions of
Scientology throughout the world. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

the only thing that happens, is the picture goes from totally
other-determined to self-determined. - Recent Developments on OT

SHORTS OUT: (in an electrical system) makes a short circuit, a
usually accidental low-resistance connection between two points
in an electric circuit that causes too much current flow and
often results in damage. And of course, this shorts out all the
fuses in all the power plants in the city. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

SHOW ON THE ROAD, KEEP THE: keep (an organization, plan, etc.) in
active operation; keep (a plan, idea, etc.) in effect. I just

SOMATIC: a physical pain or discomfort of any kind. The word
somatic means, actually, "bodily" or "physical." Because the word
pain has in the past led to confusion between physical pain and
mental pain, somatic is the term used in Scientology to denote
physical pain or discomfort. Well, the reason why he gets hit in
the face every time he thinks of spaghetti -- he gets a somatic,
you know, every time he thinks of spaghetti or something -- some
other ridiculous thing like he hears a typewriter running and
gets a cold. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

SPACE OPERA: 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.

SPIN (ONESELF) IN: (slang) cause (oneself) to go into a state of
mental confusion. And you're told at the same time that all he

SPONTANEOUS FROGATION: joking reference to spontaneous
generation, the now discredited theory that living organisms can
originate in nonliving matter independently of other living
matter. There's been a spontaneous frogation of some sort, and
boom! - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

SQUARE (SOMETHING) AROUND: (colloquial) put (a matter) straight;
settle satisfactorily. Originally, a HASI was set up in Melbourne
that wasn't even authorized and there was no way to straighten it
up or square it around or do anything for it at all, and it
limped along and kept falling on its face and being set back up
again and people would work at it and sacrifice their time,
energy and so forth to keep it going. - Welcome Address (7 Nov.

STAGE OF THE GAME, AT (SOME): at (some) time during an activity;

STARTING BAR: on older motorcycles, a metal bar which stuck out
on the side of the engine. When forcefully pushed down with the
foot it caused the engine to move into position for starting. If
the spark was on at the time that the bar was kicked down, the
engine could start unexpectedly, causing the bar to come flying
back up, sometimes hitting and causing damage to the ankle from
the force. And I touched the starting bar a few times and ran the
somatic out a little bit. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

STENO: short for stenographer, a person skilled in shorthand
writing; specifically, the skill or work of writing down
dictation, testimony, etc., in shorthand and later transcribing
it, as on a typewriter. This little girl is the HCO Steno, HASI
London, so she sent it through for HCO London. - Recent

STEP 6: a processing procedure by which the preclear was actually
creating the physical universe. It consisted of having the
preclear make, with his own creative energies, a mock-up. See
also mock (something) up in this glossary. One of those was a
thing called Step 6. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov. 59)

SUBJECTIVE: proceeding from or taking place in an individual's
mind. And a little later -- this was -- very great subjective
reality occurred on this one because a little later I was kicking
over a racing motorcycle -- I like to do
things like that, stupid of me, but I do -- and I was kicking it
over and it was very high compression and it almost broke my
ankle. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

SYNAPSES: the points of contact between adjacent neurons, where
nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. Now,

TELETYPEWRITER: a form of telegraph in which the receiver prints
messages typed on the keyboard (like that of a typewriter) of the
transmitter: the striking of the keys produces electrical
impulses that cause the corresponding keys on the receiver to
register. Some of the HASIs are now connected together by
teletypewriter, and all of them will be soon, and you will be
connected up with the rest of them by teletypewriter soon, too. -

THETA CLEAR: a being who is reasonably stable outside the body
and does not come back into the body simply because the body is
hurt. Now, Theta Clear, of course, is more what we're angling
for. - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

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 (0), 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 0, or "theta to the nth degree,"
meaning unlimited or vast. Now, who are you? Go on, who are you?
'A thetan." - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

THINGAMABOB: (informal) a gadget or other thing for which the
speaker does not know or has forgotten the name. And the last one
went on total automatic and it's just got gadgets and gimmicks
and thingamabobs and you press buttons and they operate solenoids
and doors open and windshields flap up and little men come up and
dust off the radiator cap. - Recent Developments on OT (7 Nov.

THINGUMBOB: a variation of thingamabob. See thingamabob in this

society totally capable of all scientific developments and
thingumbobs and doingnesses and everything else and have at the
same time people with judgment, courage and decency enough to

THUGGEE: (India) reference to a thug, a worshiper of Kali who
practiced thuggee, the strangling of human victims in the name of
religion. Robbery of the victim provided the means of livelihood.
They were also called phansigars (noose operators) from the
method employed. Vigorous suppression of the thugs was begun in
1828, but the fraternity did not become completely extinct for
another fifty years or so. See also Kali in this glossary. She,
by the way, although I tagged a couple of people there in India
with this fact -- I said, "That used to be the goddess of the
thuggee, didn't it? You know, the killer, the fellow who went
down the highway and killed off all the pedestrians." - Valences

TIME MAGAZINE: a weekly newsmagazine in the United States, co-
founded by Henry Luce in 1923. Time has a history of presenting
biased articles, tailored to fit the editorial slant of the
magazine. It is published by Time-Life in the US. The great
opponent of Dianetics in the United States was Time magazine and
you would have thought Time magazine had been personally insulted
and assaulted and called by name the day that book was published
in the United States -- Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental
Health. - Final Lecture (8 Nov. 59)

TONE ARM: a control lever on the E-Meter. The tone arm registers
density of mass in the mind of the preclear. This is actual mass,
not imaginary, and can be weighed, measured by resistance, etc.
Therefore, the tone arm registers the state of the case at any
given time in processing. As a person is processed, mental mass
shifts and dissipates, and the auditor moves the tone arm to
compensate for these fluctuations. Tone arm action refers to the
measurement of how much the auditor had to move the tone arm
downward (counterclockwise) during a session, and is used as an
index of case improvement in the preclear. Tone arm action is
measured in units called divisions. A division is the distance
between any of the two consecutive numbers appearing on the tone
arm dial. See also E-Meter 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)

TONE SCALE: a scale, in Scientology, 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, no sympathy, fear,
grief, apathy. An arbitrary numerical value is given to each
level on the scale. There are many aspects of the Tone Scale and
using it makes possible the prediction of human behavior. For
more information on the Tone Scale, read the book Science of
Survival by L. Ron Hubbard. You get, by the way -- your Tone
Scale goes down and your cycle of action follows the Tone Scale
down. - The Route Through Step Six (7 Nov. 59)

TOP-DRAWER: (slang) of the highest quality; most superior. If the
Southern Hemisphere is self-maintaining, if it is a total
economic unit, if its know-hows and so forth are top-drawer,
it'll continue to have a civilization that may very well be the
only civilization left on Earth. - Welcome Address (7 Nov. 59)

TOUCH ASSIST: a reference to what is now called a Contact Assist,
the most common assist for accidents and injuries, which consists
of touching the injured body member exactly on and in the place
it was injured. The person moves slowly through the accident just
like it happened over and over again until the exact somatic
turns on and then blows off (pain gone) accompanied by a
cognition (a new realization of life). See also somatic in this
glossary. Took the motorcycle back to the place it had been at
the moment I tried to start it and got kicked, and finished out
the touch assist on the exact place and it ran out in another
five minutes, swelling in the ankle went down and so forth. -

TRACK: short for time track, the consecutive record of mental
image pictures which accumulate through a person's life or lives.
It is very exactly dated. The entire sequence of "now" incidents,
complete with all sense messages, picked up by a person during
his whole existence. The term is also used loosely in reference
to the past in general. In other words, we eventually found the
first time on the track that this happened. - Valences (8 Nov.

TURNS (ONESELF) IN: hands (oneself) over, as to the police. See,
the swindle is that the individual turns himself in. - Recent

TWO-WAY COMM: short for two-way communication: a two-way cycle of
communication. For example: 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. Bill does originate a
communication, this is heard by Joe, answered by Joe, and
acknowledged by Bill. Thus we get the normal cycle of a
communication between two people. And they find out that they
patch this up most easily by exposing it and getting the two-way
comm out of the road and so forth. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

VALENCE: the combined package of a personality which one assumes
as does an actor on a stage, except in life one doesn't assume
this knowingly. One's own valence is his actual personality. "Out
of valence" describes someone who has assumed the personality of
another. And I was out of valence -- I was way back on the

sort. - Importances (8 Nov. 59)

VALVES: the devices in the engine of a car which allow the fuel

bad valves feel?" - Valences (8 Nov. 59)

VEDIC HYMNS: the oldest scriptures of Hinduism; religious hymns

WASHINGTON: short for Washington, DC: the capital of the United
States and also the location of the Founding Church of
Scientology of Washington, DC. DC is an abbreviation for District
of Columbia which is a federal district that occupies the same
area as Washington, DC and is under the control of the federal
government directly rather than being a part of any of the
