26 Some definitions from the cult's literature: C-D
Cans, electrodes for the E-meter. Steel soup or vegetable cans,
unpainted, tops cleanly removed, label and glue washed off, tin
plated or not, have been standard for many years. It is with these
that calibration has been done. (HCOB, 14 Jul '70)
Cleared theta clear, 1. a person who is able to create his own
universe; or, living in the mest universe is able to create
illusions perceivable to others at will, to handle mest universe
objects without mechanical means and to have and feel no need of
bodies or even the mest universe to keep himself and his friends
interested in existence. 2. next level above theta clear (which is
cleared of the need to have a body) 3. one who has full recall of
everything and full ability as a thetan. (Scn 8-8008, p. 114) 5.
... the thetan is immortal and is possessed of capabilities well in
excess of those hitherto predicted for man. (Scn 8-8008, p. 9)
Conservatism, at 3.0 on the tone scale we have the person who is
democratic, but who is somewhat more conservative than the liberal
at 3.5 in his attitudes and more given to social regulations, being
more in need of them. (from SOS glossary)
Counter-effort, 1. The *effort* which *counters* one's survival. 2.
Any *effort* the environment can exert against you. 3. What we're
talking about when we talk about a *counter-effort is the force of
impact of an engram. The force of impact which gives the pc an
engram is a *counter- effort*. (from TD)
Counter-emotion, any *emotion* that is *countering* an existing
*emotion*. (from TD)
Counter-thought, you think one thing somebody else thinks another.
Their *thought* is *counter* to your thought. (from TD)
Covert hostility, around 1.1 on the tone scale we reach the level
of covert hostility. Here the hatred of the individual has been
socially and individually censured to a point where it has been
suppressed, and the individual no longer dares demonstrate hate as
such. He yet possesses sufficient energy to express some feeling on
the matter, and so what hatred feels comes forth covertly. All
manner of subterfuges may be resorted to. The person may claim to
love others and to have the good of others as his foremost
interest: yet, at the same moment, he works, unconsciously or
otherwise, to injure or destroy the lives and reputations of people
and also to destroy property. (from SOS glossary)
Criminal, 1. One who is unable to think of the other fellow, unable
to determine his own actions, unable to follow orders, unable to
make things grow, unable to determine the difference between good
and evil, unable to think at all on the future. Anybody has some of
these; the criminal has ALL of them. 2. One who thinks help cannot
be on any dynamic or uses help on anyone to injure and destroy. 3.
Criminals are people who are frantically attempting to create an
effect long after they know they cannot. They cannot then create
decent effects, only violent effects. Neither can they work. (from
TD)
Ded-dedex, 1. The overt-motivator sequence went backwards. You hit
Joe, then he hits you. 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. (SH Spec 83, 6612C06)
3. where the preclear all out of his own imagination has done
something to somebody else and then it has been done to him. (PAB
18) An overt act (which may also be covert or accidental) is an
incident which the preclear does to another dynamic. A DED is an
incident the preclear does to another dynamic and for which he has
no motivator - i.e., he punishes or hurts or wrecks something the
like of which has never hurt him. Now he must justify the incident.
He will use things which didn't happen to him. He claims that the
object of his injury really deserved it, hence the word, which is a
sarcasm. A DEDEX is an incident which happens to a preclear _after_
he has a DED. It is always on the same chain of subject, is always
after the DED. It means the DED EXposed. It is covered guilt. Its
effect on the preclear is out of all proportion to the actual
injury to him. A degrader is an incident or a chain of incidents
whereby a low-toned person seeks to bring down the tone of a
higher-toned person...If the preclear is prone to degraders, he has
a DED-DEDEX situation on the same dynamic he permits to degrade
him. If he accepts criticism from women, he has a DED-DEDEX on
women - History of Man Pages 85-86. DED: an incident the pc does to
another dynamic and for which he has no motivator -- i.e., he
punishes or hurts or wrecks something the like of which has never
hurt him. DEDEX: an incident which happens to the pc _after_ he has
a DED. It is always on the same chain or subject, is always after
the DED. It means the DED exposed. It is covered guilt. Its effect
on the pc is all out of proportion to the actual injury to him.
(Glossary, Scientology: 8-80).
Delusion, a belief in something which is contrary to fact or
reality resulting from deception, misconception, or misassignment.
(HCOB 11 May, AD 15).
Dwindling Spiral, 1. one commits overt acts unwittingly. He seeks
to justify them by finding fault or displacing blame. This leads
him into further overts against the same terminals which leads to a
degradation of himself and sometimes those terminals, (HCOB 21 Jan
'60, Justification) 2. as life progresses, more and more theta
becomes fixed as entheta in locks and secondary engrams, and less
and less theta is available to the organism for purposes of reason.
This is called the dwindling spiral. It is so called because the
more entheta there is on the case, the more theta will be turned
into entheta at each new restimulation. It is a three-dimensional
vicious circle which carries the individual down the tone scale.
