Aberrate, to make something diverge from a straight line. The word
comes basically from optics. *Aberrated*, departed from
rationality, deranged. (from TD)
Anaten, a composite of two words, "analytical and attenuation, or
partial or complete dilution or weakening of the functions of the
analytical mind. The preclear goes "unconscious" for a moment in
the session. (HCOB 11 May, AD 15)
Anaten, 1. an abbreviation of analytical attenuation meaning
diminution or weakening of the analytical awareness of an
individual for a brief or extensive period of time. If sufficiently
great, it can result in unconsciousness. (It stems from the
restimulation of an engram which contains pain and
unconsciousness.) - Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary.
2. simply a drop in ARC to an extreme. (Scn AD) (PAB 70) 3. the
physiological by-product of unconsciousness. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 170)
4. dope-off. (Ability 52) (dope-off is also defined...basically
means "sleepy, foggy (as though doped)."
Anger, 1. True anger is a hate hold. At exactly 1.5 on the tone
scale we have a total ridge. It's hate. When we move a little above
or below 1.5 we get a dispersal. 2. Anger is simply the process of
trying to hold everything still. (from SOS glossary)
Antagonism, at the level of tone 2.0, affinity is expressed as
antagonism, a feeling of annoyance and irritation caused by the
advances of other people toward the individual. (from SOS glossary)
Apathy, 1. Complete withdrawal from person and people. There is in
apathy no real attempt to contact one's self and no attempt to
contact others. Here we have a null point of dissonance which is on
the threshold of death. 2. A very docile and obedient, if sick,
state of not-beingness. 3. No effort, all counter-effort. 5.
Apathy, near death, imitates death. If a person is almost all
wrong, he approximates death. He says, "What's the use? All is
lost." (from SOS glossary)
Attention Unit, a theta energy quantity of awareness existing in
the mind in varying quantity from person to person. (HCOB 11 May,
AD 15)
Beingness, 1. The assumption or choosing of a category of identity.
*Beingness* is assumed by oneself or given to oneself, or is
attained. Examples of *beingness* would be one's own name, one's
profession, one's physical characteristics, one's role in a game -
each and all of these things could be called one's *beingness*. 2.
The person one should be in order to survive. 3. Essentially, an
identification of self with an object. (from TD)
Blanketing, this incident consists of throwing oneself as a thetan
over another thetan or over a mest body. Blanketing is done to
obtain an emotional impact or even to kill. It is strongest in
sexual incidents where the thetan throws two mest bodies together
in the sexual act in order to experience their emotions. (HOM, p.
62)
Boil-off, v. 1. to become groggy and seem to go to sleep. (HFP, p.
100) n. 1. usually a flow running too long in one direction. (XDN
No. 4, 7204C07) 5. boil-off was originally and sedately named
"comatic reduction," but such erudition has been outvoted by the
fact that it has never been used. (DMSMH p. 303)"
Boredom, 1. Boredom is not just not doing anything. Boredom is an
eddying back and forth which on its lower harmonic becomes pain and
on a lower harmonic becomes agony. 2. Boredom is not a state of
inaction. It is a state of idle action, vacillating action where
penalties are yet in existence, and where they are grave, but a
state in which one has decided he can't really do anything about
them. It's just a high-toned apathy. (from SOS glossary)
