engrams
secondaries
locks
Those are words frequently printed or spoken in CofS scriptures~1.2.
========
scriptures~1.2
I.
= "a body of writings considered as authoritative by some and as
classically embodying the essence of an era, by another"
II.
= "a body of writings that:
(1) psychiatrists~1 consider to be demanding submission and
conformity, yet assenting to any derived meaning that pleases (them),
explicit permission to choose however they like proceeding from an
authoritative person who determines all the psychiatrist's~1 moral
judgments about the meaning of the writings as stable and free from
flaw
and that...
(2) this auditor~1 considers to be embodying the essence of the era
when essential engrams were locked to secondaries in a traditionally
accepted, and usually prescribed set of contradictions"
========
Now, can you guess what kind of "engram", "secondary" and "lock" I'm
writing about?
Here's some help.
========
engram~1.2
I.
= "en + gram"
= "writing provided with a record that was put into it"
II.
= "a word made ready for understanding by the use of information
remaining in permanent form that speakers and their interpreters have
placed into association with it"
========
========
engram~2.2
I.
= "n_ + gram"
= "a variable taking on integral values in an equation between (1)
writing provided with grammar, and (2) record"
II.
= "a word subject to change in meaning that, by means of a writing of
value~1.3 that conforms to grammatical rules, accepts in an
identifying relationship, evidence coming from some truth~2, that
remains permanent in its essential structure"
+
value~1.3
i.
= "an expression in logic that may replace a variable in a
propositional function so that the resultant is a true or false
statement"
ii.
= "a description that symbolizes propriety of quality judged as
present according to apparent conformity with the dictates of a
system of formal principles of deduction. Since its abbreviation is
liable to vary when used in the point to be maintained in argument,
the description may serve as its successor in order that the resulting
product has individual identity with a declarative sentence
conformable to an original."
III.
= "a statement representing the peculiar nature arising from a
configuration of parts in relation to other parts, some of which have
an effect on the senses of an observer, the possession of the effect
causing the thing to exist as a symbol of the configuration. The
configuration is formed in a track traveled by an impulse in its
movement through the brain, thereby constituting a conclusive image,
in progress which bears witness to neural activity that is a fairly
certain symptom of its cause. The image is capable of easy perception
as if adjacent to that source from which its configuration is derived
and it complies with the nervous system's governing laws of logical
abstraction whereby one class is excepted from another in which it is
naturally included. These laws have the power to make the neural
activity seem to itself to consist of the configuration of parts that
caused it.
Often, a simple spoken sound or written word is conveniently
substituted for the whole understood image. But since such a word is
subject to a selection of its interpretation, and since any change of
that interpretation brings about differences in the part of the
coherent series of reasons that gives the process of reasoning its
effectiveness, the image may be kept in a state of validity using a
series of descriptions that proceed after it in order, according to
their degree of refinement and conformance to the image from which the
description arose. Duplicates of the valid image, with sameness of
essential nature in different instances, may be produced by another's
intellectual effort, making evident to him the stated judgment of the
nervous system that constructed the value~1.3"
========
========
engram~3.4
I.
= "a memory trace"
= "a trace of memory"
II.
= "a path that one follows giving the content of something
remembered"
III.
= "a way of thought a person goes after that yields the satisfaction
in a symbol~1 thought of again"
IV.
= "a possible decision pursued as a goal motivated by a thou-ought,
the decision rewarding a person with pleasure when appearing to be
chosen in response to uncertainty"
========
========
engram~4.3
I.
= "a memory trace"
= "a trace of memory"
II.
= "a path that one follows giving the content of something
remembered"
III.
= "a way of thought a person obeys, that offers ideas coming from the
neural path some engram~2.2 correlates with when that path is again
associated with a word in the course of speaking"
========
========
secondary~1.2
I.
= "an engram~4.3 of second value~1.3"
II
= "an engram~4.3 that is number two in a countable series of
values~1.3"
========
========
secondary~2.2
I.
= "an engram~4.3 of second value~1.3"
= "an engram~4.3 of other value~1.3"
II.
= "an engram~4.3 of a value~1.3 that exists as an opposite of another
value~1.3 within the same word"
========
========
secondary~3.2
I.
= "an engram~4.3 of less than first importance"
II.
= "an engram~4.3 less valuable in relationship with some truth~2
(than another engram~2.2) for the purpose of bringing some truth~1 to
light"
========
========
secondary~4.2
I.
= "an engram~3.4 serving to assist"
= "an engram~3.4 having a function in giving (behavior) support"
II.
= "an engram~3.4 working to motivate the response of an individual
member of a species to the whole range of factors constituting its
environment"
========
========
secondary~5.3
I.
= "an inferior engram~3.4"
= "a lower engram~3.4"
= "a backward engram~3.4"
II.
= "an engram~3.4, slow to learn and executed in a reverse direction"
III.
= "an engram~3.4, not quick in becoming aware of the course in
truth~1 on which its person is aimed to move, its decisions performed
in progress that trends towards its destruction"
========
I know this is a lot to think about. I'm bringing out this much to
show several of the possible choices you had whenever you read the
words "engram" and "secondary".
Let's consider one especially relevant kind of lock~1.
========
lock~1.3
I.
= "stratagem, difficulty"
= "stratagem of difficulty"
II.
= "an artifice in war for deceiving and outwitting an enemy, who is
impelled into disagreement with himself, this causing him perplexity
and requiring skill and perseverance in solving it"
III
= "an ingenious means to the destroyer of life, that is governed by
self-interest on both sides of a conflict between the thou-oughts of
mutually antagonistic engrams~4.3 in one word.
Here, self-interest adapts itself to seek its own failure,
overreaching and defeating itself, by seeking to gain too much
pleasure, more than either one of the engrams~4.3 offers separately.
The conflict leads the person in a wrong direction by urging a state
in which consciousness is at variance with surrounding truths~1,
decisive thinking on what truth~2 is at hand becoming impossible.
Setting oneself free from a locked-together pair of engrams~4.3
requires a reason insisting that one persist in the enterprise of
dianetics~1 in spite of counter influences or discouragement"
========
How can the above be combined? One common possibility is that
essential engrams~4 may be locked~2 to secondaries~(2, 3, 4, 5).
========
locked~2.2
I.
= "held fast"
II.
= "believed to be unable to be separated after being fastened
together"
========
Another possibility is that engrams~4 may be locked~3. to
secondaries~(2, 3, 4, 5)
========
locked~3.
I.
= "made fast with a lock~1.3"
= "caused to be engaged within a lock~1.3"
II
= "attracted and held by authority on the inner side of a lock~1.3"
III.
= "caused to adhere unconsciously below the surface of a lock~1.3,
which is then sustained and preserved through the testimony of persons
in command having the power to influence thought and opinion"
========
What might that testimony consist of ?
========
testimony~1
= "testimonial"
= "a public profession of the healing or uplifting effect of the
religious experience (of a lock~1.3) upon the life of an individual"
========
?
How long have CofS psychiatrists~1 been providing testimony~1 about
the "wins" and "benefits" that come from locks~1.3 ?
Locks~1.3 held by a global society could be a pleasing ruse~1.
========
ruse~1.
I.
= "our + r_ + use + stratagem, usually intended to deceive"
= "our + are + use of a stratagem, usually intended to deceive"
II.
= "a stratagem of difficulty (a lock~1.3), tending to use an equaling
in meaning that deprives (us, of a future) by fraud, this due to us
and inherent in us"
========
Who's us?
To show you who that "us" is, by demonstration, the copyrighted
material that the Church of Scientology has thus far published (as of
May 2008) is verbal~1.3 in nature.
========
verbal~1.3
I.
= "having to do with words rather than substance"
= "having to be set through code groups rather than ultimate reality"
II.
= "consisting of significant units of code text to enter earlier
than their fundamental aspects"
III.
= "consisting of brief speech sounds and printed text containing some
disguised, special meaning in a language system in which arbitrary
meanings have been assigned to each symbol. From these, most people
automatically choose and record a superimposing of two or more
representative images, these described within the outer cover of the
code text, the action done precisely according to a standard suited to
personal comfort. It usually happens without their conscious
intention, and before it occurs to the reader the whole text ought to
be broken up into its basic supporting truths~2."
========
This is the standard that psychiatrists~1 in the CofS are usually
guided by:
========
standard~2.3
I.
= "test"
= "t_ est"
= " something most having the shape of the letter T "
= " something most bearing the shape of the letter T "
= " a flow of interpretation
