27 Some definitions from the cult's literature: E-I
E-meter, 1. the E-meter is a religious artifact used as a spiritual
guide in the Church confessional...(HCOPL 24 Sept 73 VII) The
E-meter is not intended nor effective for the diagnosis, treatment
or prevention of any disease...(Scn Abridged Dictionary) 5. The
meter tells you what the preclear's mind is doing when the preclear
is made to think of something. The meter registers before the
preclear becomes conscious of the datum. It is therefore a
pre-conscious meter. It passes a tiny current through the
preclear's body. This current is influenced by the mental masses,
pictures, circuits and machinery. When the unclear pc thinks of
something, these mental items shift and this registers on the
meter. (from TD)
Engram, a mental image picture of an experience containing pain,
unconsciousness, and a real or fancied threat to survival; it is a
recording in the mind of something which actually happened to the
preclear in the past which contained pain and unconsciousness, both
of which recorded in the mental image picture called an engram.
(HCOB 11 May, AD 15)
Ethics, 2. Ethics actually consist, as we can define them now in
Dn, of rationality toward the highest level of survival for the
individual, the future race, the group, and mankind, and the other
dynamics taken collectively. The highest ethic level would be
long-term survival concepts with minimal destruction, along any of
the dynamics. (from TD)
Fac One, was an outright control mechanism, invented cut down rebel
raids on invader installations. It was probably designed by the
Fourth Invader and used by him in its original state and "ritual"
for a considerable time. It gave him a nice, noncombative,
religiously insane community. (Page 73, HOM)
Facsimile, 1. Any mental picture, that is unknowingly created and
part of the time track is a *facsimile*, whether an engram,
secondary, lock or pleasure moment. 2. A theta recording. All
physical perceptions, all effort, emotion and thought which a
person experiences are recorded continuously, and these recordings
are called *facsimiles*. They are not dependent upon an organism
for their continued existence. Any *facsimile* which has been
recorded is there to be recalled - when the individual has risen
high enough on the tone scale, when he has regained enough of his
self-determinism. 3. An energy picture made by a thetan or the
body's machinery of the physical universe environment. It is like a
photograph. It is made of mental energy. It means copy of the
physical universe. 4. The pictures contained in the reactive mind.
5. A full *facsimile* is a sort of three-dimensional color picture
with sound and smell and all other perceptions plus the conclusions
or speculations of the individual. 6. A simple word meaning a
picture of a thing, a copy of a thing, not the thing itself. 7. A
*facsimile* is an energy picture which can be reviewed again. A
*facsimile* contains more than fifty easily identified perceptions.
It also contains emotion and thought. 8. Means the physical
universe impression on thought and it means that section of thought
which has a physical universe impression on it and it has a time
tag on it. (from TD)
Fear, 1. A condition of alertness for counter-efforts that threaten
survival. 2. A fast uncontrolled flow. 3. The emotion of fear and
the dispersal of energy are one and the same thing because the
dispersal of energy makes one feel like he wants to run away. (from
SOS glossary)
Fifth invader force, a thetan from the fifth invader force believes
himself to be a very strange insect-like creature with unthinkably
horrible hands. He believes himself to be occupying such a body,
but is in actuality simply a unit capable of producing space, time,
energy and matter. (Scn. 8-8008, p. 132)
Firefight, the action of a quarrel between an auditor and a pc is
called a firefight. (HCOB 21 Apr 71RB)
Fixed Attention Units, attention units which are caught somewhere
down the time track in one incident or another in the form of
entheta. (HCOB 11 May, AD 15)
Generality, a general or non-specific statement which is applicable
to all and used in Scientology to connotate a statement made in an
effort to either hide cause or to overwhelm another person with the
all-inclusive. (HCOB 11 May, AD 15)
Grief, 1. A ridge and is occasioned by loss. 3. Grief takes place
where one recognizes his loss and failure as in the death of
somebody he loved and tried to help. (from SOS glossary)
Hard way TRs, demand for a start, two hours of no twitch, no blink,
no eye redness, no unconscious, no wiggle TR Zero. Really real TRs
beginning with Zero. Like the Bulletin. (LRH Exec Directive 143
Int)
Invalidation, 1. Refuting or degrading or discrediting or denying
something someone else considers to be fact. 2. Any thought,
emotion or effort, or counter-thought, counter-emotion or
counter-effort which denies or smothers the thought, emotion or
effort of the individual. 3. *Invalidation* by words is the
symbolic level of being struck. 4. Basically, non-attention.
Attention itself is quite important for attention is necessary
before an effect can be created. 5. *Invalidation* is force
applied. You apply enough force to anybody and you've *invalidated*
him. How *invalidated* can he get? Dead! (From TD)
