Association Secretary: in early Scientology organizations in the Commonwealth and South Africa, the person who ran the organization. The same position was called "Organization Secretary" in the United States and at Saint Hill. Today, this position is known as the "Executive Director." And there was a very fine auditor, and a very fine Instructor, one of the very, very best—he was sitting there as an Association Secretary. —Responsibility for Mock-ups: Question and Answer Period (14 Feb. 58)
audit: apply Dianetics and Scientology processes and procedures to. If you audit somebody for five weeks and he's not Clear, why, you'd better come back and take another ACC. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
auditing: the application of Dianetics and/or Scientology processes and procedures to individuals for their betterment. 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. Also called processing. What's this got to do with auditing? —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
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. Now, auditors up to this time have had policing criteria as to whether or not they were getting results above and beyond the preclear's opinion and, to some degree, beyond their own opinion. —Help — How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
Auditor 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. Now, a careful trace of some cases which I have just reviewed reveals this fact: People who had mock-ups and could do them well, when subjected to a long series of severe Auditor Code breaks, then developed a field. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
automaticity: a thing one is doing but is unaware or only partially aware he is doing; something the individual has "on automatic." He just sits back and says, "Well, it just goes on and on and on. Automaticity after automaticity. —Help — How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)

B&O: short for Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the first American railroad designed to carry passengers and general freight which started operation in 1830, running west from Baltimore, Maryland. Now, what do you have to do to have a train? You go down here in the B&O yards and you'll find all the brakemen down there are running a cant-have on you about trains. —The Key Processes of Clearing (11 Feb. 58)
beingness: 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. That moves him right into a beingness. — Conduct of Clear: Question and Answer Period (10 Feb. 58)
Black and White: of or regarding Black and White Processing, processing in which the auditor gets the preclear to get a current flow to run. The preclear can see the flow. As long as it's flowing, it's white, and when it is not flowing anymore, it looks black. So you flow it in one direction as long as it will flow white. And then it turns around and flows back as long as it will flow white. For more information, read the book Scientology 8-80 by L. Ron Hubbard. You don't have to worry about that too much unless you get into the Black and White body phenomena. —Havingness, Anaten, Flows in Relation to Clearing (12 Feb. 58)
black V: a heavily occluded case characterized by mental pictures consisting of masses of blackness. The term black V came from application of SOP 8 (Standard Operating Procedure 8), wherein the auditor tested the preclear at each step of the process to find a step the preclear could do and began processing at that step. SOP 8 consists of seven steps; a preclear who had to be started at step V of the process was called a "Case V." This level of case could not get mock-ups but only blackness, hence "black V." You can even say this to a preclear who was the blackest black V you ever saw and you — but the shock is so great you have to audit him for shock. —Responsibility for Mock-ups: Question and Answer Period (14 Feb. 58)
blowing: an informal expression for causing something to suddenly depart or a sudden departure. It is usually used to describe either the dissipation of mass in the mind with an accompanying feeling of relief, or someone leaving, ceasing to be where he should really be, or just ceasing to be audited. And it's just blowing them—they blow and they threaten to blow and they fall apart and they do this and they do that, and the dramatics of it are too high for a group. —How to Get Started: Question and Answer Period (7 Feb. 58)
blow (one's) brains out: (slang) kill (oneself) by a shot through the head. You'll see somebody ready to blow his brains out: He wasn't in the accident, he just failed to prevent it. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
bodhi: (Buddhism) one who has attained intellectual and ethical perfection by human means. The state is called bodhi as it is said to have been first achieved under a bodhi tree (a fig tree) by Gautama Buddha, a religious philosopher and teacher who lived in India and was the founder of Buddhism. Now, the main thing which has slowed up research is a—even, I imagine, seeking a state of bodhi—would be a fear by a great many people that the state would turn out to be something evil. —Conduct of Clear (10 Feb. 58)

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. Now, if you're going to clear Help utterly, you're going to have to do it as formal auditing and as a process which runs as a bracket and which is cleared—each command is cleared as you go; you bridge carefully between each point of the bracket and you run it as a process. —How to Get Started: Question and Answer Period (7 Feb. 58)
bridging: using a 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 preclear 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. And this person was not bridging, was not standardizing the command, was not clearing the command, wasn't doing any of the things that you would do in formal auditing. —How to Get Started: Question and Answer Period (7 Feb. 58)
Bum Business Bureau: humorous reference to the Better Business Bureau, any of a nationwide system of local organizations, supported by business, whose stated function is to receive and investigate customer complaints of dishonest business practices.

button: an item, word, phrase, subject or area that causes response or reaction in an individual. You can give anybody a field. . . But if he still has one while he is in session, which is that plain and is getting in the road of auditing, then the button which is not cleared is CCH 0. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)

cans: electrodes used with the E-Meter. They are steel cans with tin plating. Electrical leads from the E-Meter are connected to the cans with clips, and the cans are held in the preclear's hands. By the way, we had to run this for ten hours on a preclear in the HGC not very long ago, right in midflight, because the pc was so nervous and scratching and jumping around that he couldn't hold the E-Meter cans. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)

cause: the point of emanation; the origination point of any communication or action. In other words, to be cause over constant location. —Conduct of Clear (10 Feb. 58)
cause-distance-effect formula: reference to the communication formula, the interchange of ideas across space. Its full definition is the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source-point across a distance to receipt-point, with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt-point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source-point. The formula of communication is cause, distance, effect, with intention, attention and duplication with understanding. But OT is well up above that. He, you might say, looks down upon the cause-distance-effect formula. — Conduct of Clear (10 Feb. 58)
caved (someone) in: caused (someone) to collapse mentally and/or physically to the extent that the individual cannot function causatively. The individual was quite effect. Cave in is a US Western phrase which symbolized mental or physical collapse as like being at the bottom of a mine shaft or in a tunnel when the supports collapsed and left the person under tons of debris. Some thetans are caved-in simply because they robbed a church, and they can't account for the fact of just merely robbing a church in — two lives ago; caved them in because they weren't religious two lives ago. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
CCH 0: a set of actions done at the start of an auditing session to assist the pc's participation in the session. "CCH" is an abbreviation for Communication-Control-Havingness, and is the designation for a group of processes which address these three factors. The basic goal of the CCH processes is to make the auditor, the physical universe and present time real to the pc, to show him that he can observe the auditor, the auditing room and present time. For more information, see PAB 133, 1 Apr. 58, PROCEDURE CCH, in Technical Bulletins Volume IV. Well now, you can't even run what I'm about to tell you about, the remainder of CCH 0, if a present time problem is kicking around like this; because you have to do, in this particular case, exactly what the mind is doing, which is worrying about a physical universe problem. —Help—How to Get Started (7 Feb. 58)
CCH Ob: a process used as a part of CCH 0 if a preclear was having any difficulty with help or fields. I'll clue you: You've only got to run CCH Ob in its totality to recognize that evil and ability do not live together. —Conduct of Clear (10 Feb. 58)
CCH 1: Tone 40 "Give Me Your Hand," a Scientology process used to demonstrate to the preclear that control of his body is possible, and to invite him to directly control it. For more information, see HCOB 11 June 57, TRAINING AND CCH PROCESSES, in Technical Bulletins Volume IV. Now, one of these was this—an answer to this problem: the unwilling preclear. Now, this was also answered earlier by CCH 1—"Give me that hand" and so forth. —Other Processes, the Help Button (13 Feb. 58)
CCH 3: Hand Space Mimicry, a Scientology process used to develop reality on the auditor and get the preclear into communication by control and duplication. For more information, see HCOB 1 Dec. 65, CCHs, in Technical Bulletins Volume VII. It means that when you run CCH 3, CCH 4, which have a lot of hand motion in them, eventually your hand will become quite real to the preclear. —Havingness, Anaten, Flows in Relation to Clearing (12 Feb. 58)
CCH 4: Book Mimicry, a Scientology process used to bring up the preclear's communication with control and duplication (control and duplication = communication). For more information, see HCOB 1 Dec. 65, CCHs, in Technical Bulletins Volume VII. It means that when you run CCH 3, CCH 4,

circuitry: the components of a circuit, a part of an individual's mind that behaves as though it were someone or something separate from him and that either talks to him or goes into action of its own accord, and may even, if severe enough, take control of him while it operates. It's a very odd thing; if you clear a command, you will knock out all the old circuitry difficulties we used to have. —Conduct of Clear: Question and Answer Period (10 Feb. 58)

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.
