6612C06 SHSpec-83 Scientology Definitions [Part] II

     For the first time in known history, there is ethics.  You can't lie to
do people in [and get away with it, in scientology].  People who protest
ethics say, "Who determines who is suppressive?" That is easy.  Suppressives
have definite characteristics.  This universe got formed and is going to
pieces on suppression.  "An organized minority is all that has been making
this universe a mess."  It could have been a good universe.  But ethics would
have had to go in early.  And because thetans were acting as individuals and
suppression was organized, all we have to do is reverse it, so that thetans,
without forgoing independence, can organize the other side just a little bit.
We are eventually going to become an organized majority.  We already have
numerical superiority.  Also, they can't think straight.  We have no overt
intentions towards suppressives.  We are just trying to go about our
business.  But "you yourself should not ... go out of your way to obtain
amusement by the torturing of SP's simply because their valence is there to
slip into.  "The mocking up of suns is far more fun."  But when you do it, do
a good job!"

ANALYTICAL MIND

     This could be "anything that a thetan set up, which collected data and
used it to resolve problems."  The basic purpose of the "mind" is "the
resolution of problems relating to survival.  Now if a thetan does this, you
could say he is a mind....  An analytical mind cannot exist independent of a
thetan."  Man has been so caved in, on the subject of the reactive mind, which
he knew not wot of, of which he was not aware, that he now discredits the
whole idea of a mind.  He says, "I'll just do it all myself."

REACTIVE MIND

     A reactive mind is "an unwanted, unknowing series of computations which
bring about an effect on the individual and those around him."  It contains
things like the computation, "All horses sleep in beds."  It is an obsessive
stratum of unknown, unseen, uninspected data that is forcing solutions,
unknown and unsuspected, on the person.  It is a sub-awareness activity.  An
analytical mind could be of use to an operating thetan.  It could exist if it
was a knowing and willing mechanism.  For instance, much of dianetics and
scientology was resolved by the construction of philosophical machines:
something you would draw up which would give some data that you could then
combine with some other data and get some answer.  But you are setting down
and lining up the data.  You are just "doing a think which is recorded ... so
that you can knowingly observe a relationship of data and get an answer....
So an analytical mind [is] a knowing and willing resolution of problems
related to survival."  This can get you in trouble, when it is of lasting
duration, when it is set up to run forever without inspection and
observation.  An analytical mind cannot exist without inspection and
observation.  An astronomical computer being operated by a competent scientist
could be likened to the analytical mind.  But without inspection and
observation, an analytical mind would become reactive.  The reactive mind is
like the opposite of the analytical mind.  It is like a computer that,
uninspected, picks up the data to resolve problems that had not been
suspected, and turns out answers that, uninspected, then by law become a total
effect upon a population. [I.e., to avoid reactivity, you must retain the
option of total monitoring.] A total circuit, like an automatic elevator, may
still be analytical if it can be inspected.

     The human body falls into the class of machines that operate without
understanding.  Such a machine, where a thetan does not know how or why it
operates, is reactive.  The fellow who is there doesn't know when it is going
to get sick or quit.  The body line is running uninspected, and it is
aberrative.  It has reactions and effects upon the thetan that he cannot
predict.  It is an aberrative machine because it is running uninspected.  It
has no instruction book.  This is a major omission.  Beware of buying bodies
without directions in them!

     So willingness and inspection is what makes the difference between the
analytical and the reactive minds.  The difference between dianetics and
scientology is that one [scientology] increases the awareness of the thetan
and the other [dianetics] just erases the bank.  The trouble you run into in
disseminating comes from people's lack of awareness of the reactive mind.  You
have to show it to them.  If you handle a person's reactive mind directly, you
get the situation where the person was not aware that he had lumbosis and is
not now aware that it is gone.  The way you handle a reactive mind is to
increase the thetan's awareness of it so he can control it.  It ceases to be
reactive.  When you are talking about the analytical and the reactive mind,
you are talking about the awareness level of the individual.

     Only the reactive mind is opposed to the thetan.  The analytical mind is
"a mind that is temporarily set up, willingly and knowingly, to assist in the
resolution of problems.  Problems inevitably relate to survival.  And anything
he's set up to do this of which he was aware and which was inspected [would be
included under the rubric of 'analytical mind']."  A committee set up to get
data and to coordinate the activities of another area or body -- of a factory
or something like that -- would be the mind of that factory, even though they
are thetans doing it.  In fact, they would have to be thetans doing it, for it
to be analytical.

     One of the reasons why you should know policy is that otherwise the
solutions and combinations, unknown to you, make it have an effect on you,
because it is somewhat reactive.  If policy isn't inspected and reformed to
meet the condition of operation, it too would become a reactive mind, as with
U.S. government law.  From the point of view of the society, scientology is a
somewhat reactive mind, to the degree that they are not aware of our existence
or our effect.  If scientology had evil intentions, it would be very easy to
operate on a sub-rosa level.  However, it would be bad for the planet, on the
whole.  It is hard anyway for society, at its low awareness level, to be aware
of scientology.  It is likewise hard for them to be aware of a thetan.  A
thetan should probably go by the rule, "Never explain."  Don't feel that you
need to explain your motives to others, when you don't intend to hide them.
Their level of awareness of you is already so low that explaining won't help
at all.  After all, they can't tell your motives!  Be as obvious, plain, and
straightforward as you like, but "if the ordinary evidences which lie around
them don't justify your actions, then there's no sense in explaining it to the
person who's challenging them....  He wouldn't be able to understand them
anyway."  Any analytical mind can become a reactive mind.  So setting up an
analytical mind is always dangerous, to some degree.

POWER

     The amount of force that can be applied in a unit of time.  [Actually,
the physical definition states that power is the amount of work that can be
accomplished in a unit of time.] Power has the connotation of being potential,
unlike force, which is actual.  Power doesn't necessarily mean the use of
force.  Power is not exerted, whereas force tends to be.  Therefore a person is
powerful when he is able to use force, not when he is or isn't using force.
But if he is forceful, he is using force right now.  The smarter a person
gets, the less he employs force to get others to change their opinions, etc.

IMPLANT

     "Unwilling, unknowing receipt of a think."  An implant is "an intentional
wreck of somebody's ability to make pictures, perceive, and remember.  It's
intentional! ... An intentional installation of fixed ideas contra-survival
to the thetan."  In an implant, someone is intentionally giving the thetan
perceptions and ideas.  All hypnotism is, is a restimulation of past
implants.

ENGRAM

     "Those perceptions unknowingly contained in the force, duress, pain, and
unconsciousness of an incident."  This is not the same as an implant [because
it is not necessarily intentional, for one thing].  Intent is the difference.
The person makes a mental image picture by his reaction to an experience.  He
goes, "Out!  Stop it!" In the process of doing this, "he's made a sort of a
stuck wave," because he didn't prevent it.  And just as you would make an
embossed impression of something, he embosses the environment.  If you were to
press your hand against a brick for a split second, you would have a picture
of the brick, and, a moment or so later, you would have the indentations of
the brick, because you pushed something at the brick.  Similarly, if you pull
on a rope, you make an impression.  [This would be analogous to a secondary.]
The thetan pushes back against what is pushing him, or he pulls in against
what is leaving him.  It is at the point where he resisted the motion most
that he gets stuck.  A thetan can make and exert energy.  When he tries to
fend something off [or hold something in], he pushes [or pulls] back against
something.  He gets a picture of the moment when his resistance was great.
That could be an engram, [secondary, lock,] or implant.

PROBLEM

      Intention / counter-intention, goal / counter-goal, or purpose /
counter-purpose.

GOALS PROBLEM MASS

     The GPM is so named, because "when there are two intentions
counter-opposed, [one] has a problem [and the opposed forces or goals] tend to
produce mass.  The Russians' statement of this is Dialectic Materialism --
that all ideas are born out of the meeting of two forces.  [That is]
backwards.  When two ideas [oppose each other] they create force....  That
shows you where they are on the [tone] scale: If you hit a guy hard enough,
he'll think."  [GPM's consist of pairs of opposing ideas.] Two opposing ideas
produce a mass.  "The thetan cannot as-is either side."  Hence, the mass
remains.  The mass of a GPM is mental energy mass, but it can be in the
physical universe, too.

PAN-DETERMINISM and SELF-DETERMINISM

     Pan-determinism is the ability to see or as-is both sides [of a conflict
or problem].  If "one is totally pan-determined, he has no mental mass,
because he's seen both sides of everything.  He can see two ideas at once,
even though they are opposed."  Self-determinism is laudable, because it is
rare.  But it is not as good as pan-determinism.  If a guy justifies what he
does, you know immediately that he is self-determined, not pan-determined.
This is the quickest test there is.  A wholly reactive person "will oppose any
idea put to him."

A conservative or reactionary tends to be against everything you propose.  So
if you give him his own ideas, you give him a problem, because his first
impulse is to be against them. [Cf. symptom prescription and the
Interpersonalists.] This is such a horrible thing to do that it is normally
looked upon as fightin' words, like, "You think you're pretty good, don't
you?" You have made the guy resist his own ideas.  The above type of person is
on a lower-scale mockery of pan-determinism.  He can carry out a raging
argument with a second person that doesn't say a word the whole time, like,
"Well, you're going to say....  And you think....  But ... !" There is no
ability of a thetan that doesn't have a lower-scale mockery or exaggeration.

EMOTION

     "A response by a wavelength affecting as individual or another, which
produces a sensation and a state of mind."

INTENTION

     Something which one wishes or intends to do.  It is an impulse towards
something.  It is "an idea that one is going to accomplish something....  He
means to do it."

AFFINITY

     Affinity "has nothing to do with [emotion].  It's the ability to occupy
the space of or be like or similar to, or to express a willingness to be
something."  "I like you," means "I would just as soon be you.  I would just
as soon occupy your space." When two individuals don't like each other, they
won't occupy each other's space or viewpoint.  They don't want to be like the
other person, etc.  A dissimilarity must exist.  When this becomes
sufficiently strong, a person "enforcedly becomes like the other fellow,"
which is an overwhelm.

HOME UNIVERSE

     "The universe a thetan made for himself."  Here we find the Rock, which
we audited for and assessed out, meaning a shape of something on which we
could then run a process.  We had, in the past, a theory that it was the first
object on the track that the fellow had made.  We would run five-way help on
it and make a fast, stable release of a very high order.

RELIGION

     Religion "means, basically, the search for truth."

DED-DEDEX

     A deduced something or other.  "It means that the overt-motivator
sequence went backwards.  A ded-dedex is the overt-motivator sequence
wrong-way to.  So that you hit Joe, and then he hits you.  That's a
ded-dedex.  The original connotation was [that] although it went this way, you
had it figured out that he must have hit you first, so you invented something
that he did to you to motivate your hitting him.  It's a phony overt-motivator
sequence." It is what a guy does to justify an unmotivated overt.  "It means,
'The overt act explained.'"  The fact of having hit someone without
provocation plus a means of explaining having hit him is the ded-dedex.  After
you commit the first action, you invent something to explain it.  [Ded-dedex
-- Deed-deed explained.]

SOMATIC MIND

     This idea was "added to the First Book by Donald H. Rogers, [John W.
Campbell, and the publisher]."  I found it in the glossary, so there it is.
It's "the mind that runs the body, independent of" [the body and the reactive
mind.] It is a physical coordination switchboard system.  In view of the fact
that we don't know how it runs, we really have no business declaring the
existence of a mind that we don't really know about.

     (The early introduction to DMSMH -- with the part about the wheel and the
arch -- describes the book.  Its first line was written by Walter Winchell and
the rest was written by the publisher.

ANCHOR POINT

     Something the thetan put out to make space.

BUTTERED ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE

     "Very badly disoriented and dispersed."  When someone in this case
condition is asked to spot spots where he is (An improper process.  The proper
process is to have him spot spots where he is not.), he will point all over
the universe.  This is the reaction of this very dispersed case to this
question, from which this term is taken.  He will think that he is
everywhere.  It is an "I'm over there" case.  Perhaps this condition comes
from leaving anchor points all over the place and appearing in one or another
of these points.

TIGER DRILL

     "One of the drills ... that ... has been adequately discussed in
bulletins."  It uses "tiger" as a non-reactive word.  [See pp. 295-295a.
above.]

COMPUTATION

     To figure out.  2 x 2 = 4.

COMPUTING PSYCHOSIS

     "One who, from his psychosis, figure-figures.  He's inconstant in his
conduct.  He's computive....  He's got ... crazy explanation....  He's
obsessively solving a problem that doesn't exist."

DRAMATIZING PSYCHOTIC

     "One patterned action which is insane [and which the person] runs over
and over....  When he is] not doing that particular [action, the dramatizing
psychotic is remarkably sane.  [He is consistent in his conduct.]"

ARBITRARY

     "Something introduced into the situation without regard to the data of
the situation.  'Arbitrary' means 'stand alone'." Someone says, "X must be
done," or "X is true."  If that is introduced without observation, without any
refutation [of what was there previously], into a formula, situation, admin
action, of line, it will cause a ripple.  This ripple then needs to be solved,
so someone else will introduce an arbitrary solution to the introduced
arbitrary.  "It leads to further arbitraries being introduced to handle
resultant outnesses."  This is the "stuck five [held down five]" phenomenon.
An urgent action may be an arbitrary, as in the tech of handling an urgent
directive [See p. 785, above.].  This must be replaced by something based on
observed fact.  It is only in force until data can be gotten.  An example of
an arbitrary would be an education that a boy never understood, like an
education without a purpose.

HARMONICS

     Any wavelength action or scale has reverberations, up and down, by
doubles or halves.  "In the field of art, it means 'agreement with'....  In
scientology, ... upper harmonics [refers to] well-off cases.'  In scientology,
it means a similarity or repetition of something at a higher or lower point on
a scale.  A lower harmonic is a lower similarity which is nutty, related to a
higher harmonic.  This is "based on the tendency of a wavelength to repeat
itself....  The lower you go in terms of awareness, the more weird the
repetition is....  In music, it means a co-action or similar action," like
resonating strings.  For instance, a lower harmonic of figuring out a math
table is doodling.  It is a similar action but less aware.  Therefore
harmonics apply to the awareness scale.  The term "lower-scale mockery"
expresses the idea of harmonics more usefully, for our purposes.  Ridicule is
based on this.  You can feel that your ideas are crazy, even if they are not,
if you hear them expressed or "mocked", by a nut or a "true believer".  [Like
a caricature.] I was trying to figure out what to do with the org.  I was
trying to figure out what England would do by trying to figure out what she
should do to straighten things out politically.  I was trying to figure out
which way this was going to go, to figure out if I should expand the
organization or whether to enter dollars into the country or hold them out.
And I ran into a guy outside the door, who said that he was Disraeli and was
going to help England.
