Definitions of Clear (compilation by Lone Ranger)

[timecops Max]

The State of Clear after he'd discovered 100% proof that past lives
were as real as the nose on your face and that there were too many
engrams to run them all out?  If there are too many engrams to run

them all out, then you couldn't ever possibly achieve that State now,
could you?  If you're only keying out the engrams and not erasing them
all, then how could one be called a Clear?  See?  The two things don't

balance out against each other. 

Notes on CLEAR, from my notebook:

"CONTROL OF ATTENTION" SHSBC-46 (old #42) 18 August 1961

Now, I'll tell you something else. The earliest method of clearing,

1947, '48, '49, was permissive; highly, highly, highly permissive. It
was very delicate. It amounts to this repetitive auditing command:
"What picture would it be safe for you to look at?" ...You

know why it wasn't being done and why no clearing was occurring by
1950? ...Because I hadn't isolated this attention principle. I hadn't
isolated this attention principle so that I could articulate it to an

auditor.


"3D CRISS CROSS AND GPM ANATOMY" SHSBC-105 (old #101) 17 Jan 1962

Now, the first technologies of clearing were better than Dianetics:
Modern Science of Mental Health. The earlier technology was the better

technology, which was simply to key out, key out, key out. See, what
picture could the character confront? ...Sort of a gradient scale of
tolerances and so forth. And eventually, of course, he'd blow off the

Goals Problem Mass... ...nevertheless, these people acted Clear and
they weren't troubled with engrams...But if they did have any track,
as it says in Book One, it was free track.

"DIANETIC AUDITING" SHSBC-433 (Old Spec-70) 21 July 1966


I have made Releases with Dianetic auditing, and so on, and they were
the first Clears. It's not too hard to do. But of course, they were
simply keyed-out Clears, which today we call Releases. ...but it

completely changed their lives. ...pre-'50 - they just walked away.
...They really weren't up to a Grade 0 Release, but they were
certainly in much better shape.

I have condensed Dianetics: Modern Science of Mental Health into HCO

Bulletin 3 April 1966, which is one, two, three, four, five pages
long. You get brighter as you get older, you know - and processing.
And I wish to point out that HCOB 3 April 1966 is a far simpler and
better method of running secondaries and engrams than Dianetics: The

Modern Science of Mental Health. So, if you're reading this and read
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, realize that this
bulletin written sixteen years later takes precedence. You got it?


NEW SLANT ON  LIFE

There is evidence that mental image pictures occur only when the
individual is unable to confront the circumstances of the picture. 
When this compounds and Man is unable to confront anything anywhere,

he might be considered to have pictures of everything everywhere. 
This is proven by a test made in 1947 by myself.  

I discovered, although I did not entirely interpret it at the time,
that an individual has no further pictures when he can confront all

pictures.

<2109>  cont

I don't even think the word was used in those days.  He would look at
them until he no longer saw them.  I was actually bringing him by
gradient scale into a state of beingness where he could as is a mental

image picture by looking at IT, not some substitute for it. 
Gradually, he would look at rougher and meaner and more painful and
more unconscious pictures.  

But I didn't know what I was doing right and I didn't know whether the

results were right, and there was no way to evaluate this at all.  I
just kept on doing this and it kept working.  

Then I started to explain it to people, I started getting scientific,
and I answered up when other people got concerned about a problem in

the subject of what was happening, then I got concerned about it too,
and I tried to explain it all.  

I wound up thinking the engram was the thing, not the ability to
confront it, and began to define Clears as people who didn't have any,

rather than people who could confront them.  A person who can totally
confront engrams doesn't have any.  I was just led astray, only for a
few years.  You could still make a Clear today the same way.  


<2034>  CONFRONTING

You get the first clearing process, 1947.  We would go over the
picture several times and it would disappear.  This we called erasure
  very improperly, I assure you.  There's an improper phrase in

Dianetics.  

This is not erasure, it's an ability to confront up to a point where
there is no necessity to have it.  All anybody is evidently trying to
do is prove that he can confront something by having a picture of it.

 And that's about all there is to it.  

He almost invariably found it was somebody else's grief in the
picture.  He was crying somebody else's tears.  Boy, that took
auditing.  You practically had to stay in there with one knee on his

chest.  I got away with it because I was just bigger than my preclears
  one answer to smooth auditing. 

Anyway, it didn't occur to them to get out of the chair.  The truth of
the matter was that the more he could confront, the more he was able

to confront.  But something happened in 1947 that I couldn't explain
for 10 years.  What happened to the rest of the bank?  

Once I'd done this   fixed him up so he could confront a lock, fixed
him up so he could confront charges of grief and misemotion and anger

and things like this, after he was in a state where he could confront
a painful picture with full sonic and visio and tactile and effort and
everything else   the bank disappeared.  I had perfectly stable
Clears, but I thought that was all there was to the bank.  


Where did it go?  Where did it end?  How many pictures were there?  I
got totally befuddled by the whole thing because I got trapped into
the idea of quantity.  

But about that time, I said "No matter how long it takes, I'd just

better settle down and map the whole track from one end to the other,
and find everything there is in the mind   circuits and machinery and
valences and anything else, get the definitions of the physical
universe, work this thing out, get an actual working definition of

life and..."  It went on and on and on.  If we'd quit right there, we
would never have been able to understand it. 
 
Any deviation from this would have brought about a flop because I
didn't have a total understanding of what was happening.  I thought

that was all the bank there was.  I made Clears, but I didn't
understand why people got Clear.  They had proven to me and to them
that they were able, we can say today, to confront mental image
pictures, so they didn't have to have any more unless they put them

there.  

They had no more reactive pictures because they could confront them
all and they didn't any longer have any necessity to confront them. 
If they felt like confronting them, they could still put them back

there again. 

Well, I'd tried to teach somebody else about this, but I didn't know
exactly what the combination was.  I hadn't known exactly what I was
doing in 1947 when I made Clears.  In some unknowing, blundering way,

I did know, but I couldn't phrase it, I couldn't describe it.  

And the more auditors I tried to teach in those earlier days, the more
I fumbled it.  And I'd groan and I'd say, "We have to figure something

else out."  So I would give them a newer and a better one.  

Within the last year, I've gotten smarter.  I don't give them a newer
and better one these days.  They come back and they say, "I did it and

it doesn't work."  I say, "What didn't work?  What did I tell you?"  

That's what I should have said 11 years ago.  "What did I tell you?" 
When it didn't work, they didn't hear, and we've got an awful case of

deafness that's been going on.

You cure a case in various ways and the first way is to find out what
you're doing.  It took me a very long time to find that out.  It's one
thing to feel something is true, and quite another thing to phrase it,

to express it.  When you move out of feelingness into articulateness,
you make a big gain.  If I were a little brighter, we could've done it
a lot faster.  

That's about what it amounts to.  It wasn't enough to know this

clearing process of 1947 if you still didn't know what to confront,
and if you still couldn't say, "All you have to do is get the preclear
to have confidence that he can confront things."   


I can imagine an auditor today, if we'd pursued this course, having to
memorize 1,672 various objects that occur in the mind, all different
and no common denominator amongst them.  All we would have been

classifying was just machinery, types of.  We would have had it.  It
took ten years to find out what there was to confront.  

Is there more than this to confront?  Well, you're at liberty to find
out, but we at least know you're not going to get any difficulty

confronting any of this.  

We knew all about clearing somebody in 1947, we could do it way back
then, except we couldn't explain it, couldn't train anybody in it,
didn't know how it happened, and thought that there wasn't very much

in the mind beyond maybe a few engrams.  

When former beheadings, being put down here in the tower, being
drowned up there, being in Space Opera, and other things began to show
up   I think there's a person or two here that has run into a picture

of Space Opera   these various incomprehensibles started to happen. 
We didn't know what the devil we were confronting and it took us years
to find out.  

Now that we've found out again, we can start clearing people again.  I

wish to express my thanks to those of you who have walked along this
track with me of finding out what was there to be confronted.   

<1683>  SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS OF MANKIND

The difficulty on the original state of Clear came about mainly

because the techniques used to produce one in 1947 were never put in
anybody's hands. They had this special method of running engrams.  You
simply built the man's confidence in being able to handle them until

he threw them all away and he was a Clear.  And that happened in a
great many cases.  

But that was not enough, nowhere near enough.  That wasn't what we
were shooting for.  It wasn't high enough.  What this society needs is

ability.  It seems to be Man's opinion the world around, it's one
thing on which Man is fairly well agreed   that Man could be more able.

<2334>  CONTROL OF ATTENTION

The earliest method of clearing, 1947 48 49, was highly permissive. 

It amounted to this repetitive auditing command, "What picture would
it be safe for you to look at?  Good.  Look at it."  Although my
clears were not all that good, they were not bad.  

You know why it failed, why no clearing was occurring by 1950?  I

hadn't isolated this attention principle so that I could articulate
it.  It's taken roughly eleven years to articulate this thing.  

All the old violations summed up into that one thing.  They kept

giving him something to look at and the rule was that you couldn't
give him anything to look at that was outside of his environment.  He
could get the picture of the last five seconds or something.  

The violation was and why that type of clearing worked was that "the

engram necessary to resolve the case" was valid.  That's where his
attention was fixed so you run it as a picture.  

But in tremendous numbers of cases, we were running people who were
not finding pictures safe to look at, so they couldn't look at the

engram necessary to resolve the case.  That blew up Clearing.  

The reason some Clearing occured when this other attention problem,
unbeknownst, didn't materialize, is the permissive approach always
found where his attention was stuck.


You could today take somebody and say, "What picture would be safe for
you to look at?  OK.  Now what picture would it be safe to look at?" 
With practically nothing else but that, he could wind up at the other

end.  Long route.  

"What sound would it be safe for you to hear?  Close your eyes, hear
the sound."  "What is it safe to feel?"  "What is it safe to look at?
 Good.  Look at it."  


And you just go down the line, turn on all the perceptions, one after
the other.  All of a sudden, he's looking at an engram.  The next
thing you know, you've accustomed him to his bank.  

That is not a very good or very fast method of clearing, but it

mustn't be lost sight of.  It's very gradient, very gentle, very
patient with the PC, give him wins and so on.  It would work.

<0167>  STANDARD PROCEDURE

The theory of the attention unit is that "I" might be considered to be

potentially composed of, let us say, a thousand units.  Every key in
and lock and secondary engram on the case has robbed "I" of a few of
these attention units, until "I" has less and less potential.  


The system of resolving a case can be looked at on the basis of
restoring attention units to "I" and when you have restored to "I" all
of the attention units which are on the bank, you can consider that

your case is Clear.

PAB 2  GENERAL COMMENTS

We can make a 4.0 in Dianetics by very arduously swamping up the
reactive mind.  He will remain relatively stable and with greater
longevity, and is defined in the First Book.  But we have not put

aside the normal course of ageing of the body, nor have we completely
proofed this individual against the shocks and upsets of existence
which would come from new incidents of pain and unconsciousness.  


The first "clear" was a relative thing and definitely not an absolute
thing.  It was an intensely hard thing to gauge.  What we will call a
"stability"   for want of a better word at this time, and to replace

the word "clear" about which there is a tremendous amount of confusion
  would be one who can, without the assistance of MEST eyes, perceive
with complete certainty the three universes from many viewpoints.


<0488>  LOGICS 1 7

Logic 6 is: Absolutes are unobtainable.  There's no absolute universe.
There's no absolute Clear. There's no absolute right, no absolute
infinity, no absolute zero, no absolute wrong, an absolute black, an

absolute white - nothing.  

All Clear means in the first place, is taking enough numbers off so
you can add something else up on the machine.  It's an adding machine
term, it's an electronic computer term, is where it came from.  It

means to clear the computer so it'll think.

It doesn't say how well it's got to think now, you just clear it up so
it can think better.  You clear a human being up so he can think
better and you have a Clear.  You've done a clear.  


You can do a clear of this lifetime, you can do a clear of the whole
track, you can do a clear of this person to such a degree that he can
create his own universe, or you can clear this person in such a way

that he's cleared of the MEST universe and can go then and create his
own universe.  In other words, you have terrific selection here.

<2109>  STATES OF BEING

Because I was interested in them being more capable of confronting

more duress in mental image pictures, I skipped listening to text in
those early cases and I didn't find out about whole track actually
until Mary Sue and myself sat down with an E meter and plotted whole

track during the whole of 1952.  

Some of these early preclears had been looking at Space Opera and all
sorts of things on the whole track, but it seemed to be all right with
them and I didn't see any particular reason to inquire too deeply.  I

wasn't concerned with that, I was merely interested in their ability
to handle their mental image pictures.  

I found out that it didn't matter how many engrams we erased out of
some people.  Nothing seemed to work very good.  I've finally found

out that it was a question of how real this engram was.  

Some fellow would go yehovedly through an engram from one end to the
other and swear to you it was real, and it wasn't until very recently
that I discovered that "real" is a one terminal proposition.  Realer

than what?  How real?  As real as this room?  How real was the room to
him?  

We found out it was a big, floating fog, so he went through this
engram totally on nowhere.  We needed processes which developed up

realities, and therefore we had to study what made unrealities and
what it was that pushed a person downscale into unrealities.

In all these years, we started again to make Clears toward the end of
'57.  That was almost 10 years after the fact, where we could go for

the goal and arrive there with some prediction.  There were auditors
during the period of 1950 to 1957 who did make Clears, but nobody
could totally predict getting anywhere positively with each case.  

That made a random subject, a random clearingness.  We have various

grades of Clear, and various things to get to Clear.  

<2765>  CLEARING   WHAT IT IS

If you went back and used the technology of 1958, you could make a
Clear. You wouldn't make it a 100% job, but something on the order of

50% would stay that way nicely, and some would stay that way for years.

<2765>  CLEARING   WHAT IT IS

In the world of computers, they sometimes have solder trouble.  There
are tremendous numbers of extremely complex circuits inside one of

their computers and when somebody gets in there with a soldering iron,
he'll occasionally drop a drop of solder.  When he does that, he will
add some figure into all the computations so it never comes up with

the right answer.  

In mechanical adding machines, you can do this very easily.  You add
up these receipts and forget to hit the clear button and pull the
handle two times, and you've still got a total unseen in the machine,

uncleared.  So the answer was a cumulative answer which depended on
some old data modifying the present time answer.  

The mind, when it has an old experience, will add that data into its
current experience and it keeps coming up with wrong answers.  Where

it still has a lurking aberrated datum   and what people have never
gotten is this word "aberrated," it means NUTS   a Clear wouldn't have
those.  That's all a Clear is.  

<0590.1>   WHAT WE ARE DOING IN PROCESSING


Clear is a very relative state.  Don't become confused by it.  It is
not an absolute state.  It merely means he's in pretty good shape and
he'll stay that way.  That's all it means. 

<1940>  THE FOUR UNIVERSES


An Operating Thetan is at cause over four universes.   And the moment
I got that definition of an Operating Thetan, the idea of Clear, the
doingness of Clear, how to communicate about a Clear and so forth,

fell into line.  

It's 2500 years Man has been sweating toward this goal.  Clear.  Mind
essence.  Spiritual freedom.  The state of Clear was not a very
complicated state unless you wanted to do it swiftly.  Then you'd have

to have the mechanics of taking apart these four universes.  

You didn't just let the guy sit there and look at them for the next 20
years, the way a Tibetan would advise.  You needed techniques which

split them all apart, which literally tore them into four pieces, four
universes to get familiar with, and left "getting familiar with" to
the guy to do on his own time.  

We don't say that a Clear is together at all.  We take him apart and

let HIM put himself back together again.  A Clear is in a position to
observe.  That's what we mean really by a "state of Clear."  

But certain definite mechanical things have to be described and

activities undergone in order to get one into a state where he can
observe for himself.

<2785>  THE ORG BOARD AND  LIVINGNESS

A Clear is a sort of baby 0T, he hasn't learned to walk yet.  A baby

is clear as a bell, you could ring him and he'd gong for hours.  He's
got lots of experience, if he could only call on it.

<2000>  ACC TRAINING PROCEDURE

His sanity is as good as he can recognize the wrongness in

destruction.  It isn't necessary to be able to tolerate destruction to
be Clear.

<2342>  SUBJECTIVE  REALITY

He'd have to attain a reality on the bank you couldn't shake before he

even vaguely gets Clear.  An auditor who is skipping out of the bank
and the engram, skipping off the track and into PT, he reminds
somebody of a parachute with compressed air blowing up against the top
of the chute.  


He never goes down, he always floats up no matter what you do.  He'll
have to get over that before he gets Clear.  

<1987>  CLEAR PROCEDURE II   CREATIVENESS

You don't even have to make a preclear better to clear him.  When he's

Clear, he will be much better because fortunately, a thetan is
basically good.  He might as well be basically evil.  He doesn't
happen to be.  That just stands in our favor.  The better he gets, the
more able he is to operate on an optimum solution, the best that can

be done for each of the Dynamics.  

The greatest good for the greatest number of Dynamics   a thetan in
good shape starts operating on that basis.  Up to the point of his
getting Clear, he could be a stinker, and he'd suddenly be a saint. 

You get the idea?  

But he doesn't HAVE to be a saint and after he'd lived for a little
while, he'd find out that was a bore and he'd settle back to being a
Scientologist.  

<2325>  CREATION AND GOALS


Scientology has been making Clears of one kind or another, stable or
unstable, for a long time.  Those that I made originally, the bulk of
those remain stable.  The secret of those Clears was just that they

had been made capable of confronting any type of mental image picture.
 That made a Clear.  

If you read Book One, it wasn't somebody who didn't have any pictures.
 This is some new interpretation.  It was somebody who could control

his pictures or who's bank wasn't victimizing him. 

<2541>  3GA CRISS CROSS

What you're up against when you're Clearing somebody is the concept of
mass and force relative to their experiences.  It comes under the

heading of randomity and plus or minus motion, but also the plus or
minus force and mass the individual can tolerate.  

Some cases clear easily and some cases clear hard, and that is the
answer.  There is also a speed/mass ratio.


<0786>  FORCE   PART 1

You cannot Clear anyone who is afraid of force because that person
will not take the responsibility of being cleared.

<2172>  HOW TO HAVE A GAME INSTEAD OF A CASE


What you are actually seeking in getting Clear is the ability to have
an unalloyed consideration, a pure consideration.  You want to have
confidence in your own intentions.  That's about what it amounts to.


<0382>  HOW TO SEARCH FOR INCIDENTS ON THE TRACK

I would advise you as soon as possible to become as Clear as possible,
because one never knows, does one?  It would be very nice to have on
Earth a very sane society that's as highly constructive and just as

capable of carrying on without an impetus and orders from elsewhere.  

I hope that you'll invest quite a bit of time in auditing, regardless
of whether you believe it or think there's any credence in it, or not.  


You certainly cannot expect an individual who is pinned down
someplace, and can be put under pain from a remote distance, to become
Clear.  Some of the things that you experience and some of the things
that go on, will be completely unbelievable to many, since it is

supposed to be that way.

<0606>  LONG FORM STEP 5   ADMIRATION PROCESSING

The thing to do is just get Clear so that you can admire anything or
not admire it, be ornery and mean and cross if you want to, and BE FREE.


<2820>  CLEAR AND OT DEFINED

A Clear does not have a mind in that he is not the effect of the
picture mechanism.  He doesn't have masses and pictures knocking him
about.  The mind does more than its share of pinning somebody inside a

body.  When an individual is Clear, he can more easily become exterior.

<1983>  THE FACTORS OF CLEARING

To make a Clear, all you have to do is show a fellow that he is
mocking up his own mind and therefore his own difficulties, and that

he is not completely adrift in and swamped by a body.  You're not
trying to get a person to take responsibility for everything on Earth
or anything of the sort.  

Clear is a finite state.  It simply depends upon mastery of the mind

and recognition of the body and universe.  The rest of it is OT.  A
Clear could be said to be "basic personality revealed."  YOU have
stood up!

<2765>  CLEARING   WHAT IT IS

People who are interested in clearing are only interested in their

physical condition, their mental responses, their behavior pattern and
its relationship to other human beings, and accomplishing finite goals
in the physical universe.

Clearing has the aspect of looking for things which have to be deleted

from the individual in order to make him get right answers in
existence.  He can think on this subject, he can get proper answers on
anything associated with that particular subject.  

Cleared  means, on any given subject, "not  nuts anymore."  When

you've got a majority of  these points so there are no great obvious
ones around on which he is nuts, you would then have a person you
could call a Clear.  This would be a cleared person, or a cleared
ability to think.  


Clearing applies to the mind, also to the individual in relationship
to his mind or his mental abilities.  It is very precisely related to
a finite state of existence and the ability to survive in and to

handle a normal average sort of environment.  

Clearing is fixing the individual up so that he can get proper answers
in a proper world.  We're talking about living.  Clearing is an assist
to finite, meaning within limits, existence.


<1244>  ROUTE I   STEP 4

You've read possibly, or should read, Dianetics   The Evolution Of A
Science.  It discusses the fact that in big computers, you sometimes
get a piece of solder or something across the connections and a 5 or

something like that is held down.  

So you put on the computer 1 X 5 and you get the answer 25.  That's
because the 5 is multiplying every time you want a total in the
machine.  Saw that piece of solder away, you then put on the machine 1

X 5 and you get the proper answer, 5.  That would be clearing the
machine.  

Also on an adding machine, you pull down the lever and it takes all
the computations, former computations out of the machine and lets you

start fresh.  You get an absolute clear.  You could correct the
machine so it would give you answers within its problems, already
existing.  

That's one way you could get a Clear, but that's a very relative

Clear.  Or you could simply reach out there and pull that handle down,
crash! and clear the whole machine.  

<2818>  STATES OF IDENTITY

A Clear is not an all knowing being.  A Clear has lost the mass,

energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind, MEST
mind.  A Clear moves up through becoming cause over the matter,
energy, space and time of his mind.  The more he drills this, the more
interesting life looks to him and the bigger he feels.


<1984>  THE FREEDOMS OF CLEAR

Clearing does not mean that the individual is free from this universe
or its liabilities.  It merely means he can cope with them.

<2787>  AWARENESS LEVELS


Running a person to Clear would be to continue to pull into view
something he didn't know about.  Becoming Clear is a process of
becoming more and more aware.  You come up to a point where you also
become aware of where you were UNaware.  When you notice one of those,

you decide that you should find out or it doesn't make any difference.  
If it is some area where you should find out, you can pull on it and
magically will appear the doggondest situation that you never

suspected before, and it quite normally collapses all by itself.  

I suppose as some of us cross this band and get onto the other side,
start asking questions of the human race, I'm not quite sure what will

happen.  But that won't excuse you from studying to get there on your
own steam.  

A great deal of revelation does occur.  It's not always palatable, not
always nice to find out these things.  But the clearer you get, the

shorter time you find it distasteful and the more familiar you can be
with it.

<1987>  CLEAR PROCEDURE II - CREATIVENESS

Somewhere up along the line he says, "I just found out something.  You

better write Ron and tell him because he probably doesn't know about
this. All those engrams and facsimiles, I'm mocking them up!"  You
say, "No kidding."  

It took us years to get around to actual proof of the fact that the

individual is mocking up his whole and entire bank.  There is a proof.
 When an individual's ability to create mental image pictures is
improved, the bank improves proportionately, his facsimiles get better.  


We improve his ability to create and then get him to look at a
facsimile, and it's much brighter.  We run a little bit more
creativeness, then we get him to look at the same facsimile.  It's
broader and it's bigger and it's fatter and it's solider.  This is an

actual test, been run many times.  Boy, is that the fattest, solidest
engram you ever saw.  

There is a place in case clearing where the person would rather be
dead.  All the facsimiles that he puts up are much more solid than

they ever have been before, and much more real with many more
perceptions in them, only he doesn't yet know he's making them, so he
becomes the victim of them.  

Please listen.  Audit smoothly.  Smooth auditing doesn't really kick

these engrams into restimulation.  

But these engrams, locks, secondaries, these mental image pictures,
get so much bigger and his psychosomatics can get so much worse, that
only smooth auditing takes the curse off of it and gets him over the

hump.  And then he's beginning to realize that he's mocking these
things up himself.  

He eventually winds up without a reactive bank and he's happy about it
because he can mock one up any time he wants to, but he doesn't have

to now.

<2608>  THE TIME TRACK

We have approached it in many ways, we have tried to find out who is
mocking up this time track.  Obviously, the thetan is mocking it up.

<2317>  ROUTINE 1A - PROBLEMS


If he's doing it himself, you can clear him.  Otherwise, you'd have to
go back and find all the people who aberrated him.  The fact that you
can change a PC's case shows that you are actually working with

somebody who is doing it all himself.  

He's mocking up his own bank, machinery, circuits, everything. If the
guy is mocking up his own bank, creating his own aberration, it must
be that the road out would be confront.  


Mind is an unknowing, obsessive creation on the part of the
individual.  If obsessive creation and bad consequence by reason of
creation is curable, the road out lies in taking over the automaticity
of that obsessive creation and giving him great familiarity with the

obsessive creation.  

As soon as he gets these two things, he goes Clear.  If there's any
secret to clearing, that would be the secret.

A person can't confront the problems that he's got.  Now we have the

clue to slow clearing.  Those that get Clear easily are able to
confront problems. If they're taking a long time, they can't confront
problems easily.  

I put several engram wranglers on it and got all of the reasons

rounded up in the south pasture, and this is the reason for slow
clearing - problems, the inability to confront.

<2353>  THE PRIOR CONFUSION

A person's ability to confront improved will blow a lot of chronic

somatics, but I wouldn't count on just improving their ability to
confront and then having it all work out magically.  I would much
rather that you picked up and blew these things selectively one by one
and very intelligently.


<1632>  MATCHING AUDITING TO TONE

The thing you don't want is a chronic tone.  The whole idea of Clear
is not based on "no computation," but to compute and uncompute, to be
and unbe.  Assuming that if a person who is cleared can't thereafter

be or react, we are assuming at once something that the boys out in
the East have wished on us, and that is we must sit with crossed legs
and be terribly serene, you know, and this is our idea of it.  

As a matter of fact, that is a chronic tone.  And the definition of

insanity is chronic tone, fixed tone.  You can have somebody in
chronic fear.  You can also have somebody in chronic happiness.  And
they cannot move or vary off of that mood.  They're stuck!  Get the idea?


The whole subject of Clear is can buttons be pushed and unpushed. 
It's only the frozen button or the frozen tone which is the danger
point.  The volatile is not dangerous. 

Don't think you all have to go around with a tin plated halo on your

head, in a chronic serenity.  An adding machine is under the
compulsion always of coming up with a right answer.  But a person who
is cleared has his choice!

<2825>  RON'S JOURNAL '67


It is as far from Clear to OT as it is from wog to Clear.  In the
lower grades, one is mainly concerned with himself and his own case or
his immediate family, but as one moves up the line, one becomes more
concerned with the environment and the world in which he lives.  With

this concern comes the realization that all has not been well.

<1986>  CLEAR PROCEDURE

The fact of Clearing was for many years barred from our knowledge by
the simple fact that we could not ourselves believe the horrible truth

that people, through irresponsibility, mocked up all of their own
difficulties.  We can do so now with Clear procedure and therefore,
Clearing can be done and YOU can do it.  

This is Clearing:  He winds up without a reactive bank and he can mock

one up any time he wants to, but he doesn't HAVE to now.  

<2839>  WHAT STANDARD TECH DOES

The mechanism of Clear is he doesn't mock it up no more.  He doesn't
mock anything up anymore.  All he'd have to do is cognite he's mocking

it up himself and he'd go Clear.  That's the trick, man.  He's got to
cognite on it HIMSELF.  You start telling him he is, and that's why
you don't see that cognition put out as an end product.  


You start telling him that that is the end product and, god damn, I've
seen several of them do it!  The cognition is being used as an evaluation.

<2809>  THE CLASSIFICATION CHART AND AUDITING


We've known for a long time the thetan made up his own bank, but
telling him so didn't get him over it.  It's got to be HIS cognition.

HCOB 17Oct64  CLEARING, WHY IT WORKS

That the state of Clear is transient and impermanent does not make it

less worthwhile.  It is of enormous mental value and the full results
never fade - only some of the bloom.  That's because the main bank is
brought back into restimulation by life or the PC's overts, etc.  Once

the reactive mind is vanquished, the PC is again capable of his full
potential as a being.

<2849>  MORE ON BASICS

The mechanism of clearing is simply that when he's erased the basic,
the guy realizes he's mocking it all up, then he doesn't mock up any

more of those things which he knew he was mocking up.  A guy at Clear,
he feels wonderful.  Why does he key in?  He's still got body thetans,
still got this and that.  

<1937>  CREATIVE PROCESSING STEPS


If a fellow's doing things he doesn't know he's doing, he becomes the
unknowing and unwilling effect of what he's doing.  He becomes the
effect of his own cause and doesn't even know it.  When a fellow has a

mental image picture bank, a reactive mind and all these stimulus
response mechanisms going on, and doesn't know that he is putting them
there, he is the victim of himself.  

Then he compounds the felony by blaming everybody else.  He blames

everybody for what he's doing   maybe they put content into the
pictures, but he's still putting the pictures there.  Fascinating
thing to catch a thetan off guard to this extent.

After a being has been around in this universe as long as he has been

around, he gets an awful lot of experiences.  He can make pictures of
them and with great accuracy, so he thinks that the pictures are a
thing and he thinks he files them someplace.  

After a while, he finds that it's difficult for him to get rid of his

pictures.  He couldn't possibly get rid of a picture he continued to
create.  

So all you have to do is give him the control of his creation of the
stimulus response mechanisms of the mind    the pictures, in other

words   to give him the total control of his mind.  

What grief it would have saved all of you if you hadn't forgotten it
73 trillion years ago!  Dianetics noticed the picture and said you
could do something about it.  Scientology has placed him in a position

where he can create these pictures when he wants them.

The final goal is bringing to the person the realization, subjectively
and with good reality, that he himself, without any further question
in his mind, is actually the one who is creating, has created, all of

the pictures, and with that full realization he doesn't create any
more pictures, unless he himself thinks of doing so.  

HE has to create the picture.  It's no longer "the picture is created

and he looks at it."  He creates the picture and knows that he creates
the picture, and hasn't any other pictures than those he creates.  

This one cognition isn't enough.  You've got to give him practice in

doing it.  And after a while, he'll become totally cognizant that he
never does anything else.  That's the cognition that you want.  That
is a Clear -  a person with the full and complete realization that he

himself creates his own mind.

<1248>  ROUTE I   STEP 8

Aside from coaxing him to deal with energy masses and perceptions, the
only process there is for a Clear is asking him to change his mind. 

He changes a consideration.  We dragged him out of the field of
mechanics, in other words. 

The biggest deterrent to somebody changing his mind is fear of the
environment and the energy masses and spaces contained in it.   


19th ACC  ADVANCE!  Article:  THE SECRET OF NOT KNOWING

What stands between a person's present state and a cleared state?  A
fellow will willingly mock up anything that he feels he can unmock, he

will create anything that he feels he can still uncreate.  Too many
times, he has mocked up something which he has then found himself
unable to unmock.  

A fellow puts a steel plate out there because there was a soldier with

a bayonnet, and he cowered down back of this steel shield  - nothing
there to tell him when the soldier went away.  To be absolutely safe,
he would have to figure that the soldier never did go away.  

This is a different phenomenon.  The overt act/motivator sequence can

be seen in this, but the one I'm talking about is much senior to it.

SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL

There are probably several kinds of Clear and several conditions of
being Clear.  A Clear does not instantly grow wings or sprout a ten

kilowatt aura.  He is not superman.  But he has his advantages.  The
Clear has the advantage of not retaining, hidden from himself, pain
and painful situations in his past which, being restimulated by the
environment, enturbulate his reason and sicken his body.


<2328>  GOALS SEARCH

Doingness has been divorced from being Clear.  It's the primary booby
trap, that's the basic.  "If you are in good shape, you will be
sitting still."  If you're in good shape, you CAN sit still, you'd be

able to do that.  

I make this recommendation.  Take a look at the people that have been
Cleared, watch what they're doing to find out what a Clear does. 
Apparently, every Clear we've made to date has gotten busy.


They sometimes have opinions that are not true but they have them just
because they believe them.  They argue.  They're not necessarily
totally 100% right every five minutes.  They make mistakes, and boy,

they sure make them on a grand scale.  But they're in motion and they
do get things done.  

The idea of what fast motion is has changed on them, the idea of what
is worth doing has changed.  Homo sap alongside a Clear looks like a

snail crawling along the road.  

<2587>  WHEN FACED WITH THE UNUSUAL, DO THE USUAL

What you are doing when you produce a Clear is producing a miracle,
the like of which has never been seen on Earth.  


<1319>   HAVINGNESS

This awareness of awareness unit would have to be able to have or not
have, at will, in order to remain in a totally stable condition. 
Therefore, you get a new definition of Clear which is simply a person

who can have or not have, at will, anything in any universe.  That's a
real simple definition, isn't it?

<1058>   SPACE AND HAVINGNESS

Let's redefine Clear slightly just by saying that we put this

individual into such a state of ability that he can exteriorize and
interiorize into anything and everything he wishes, and so that he can
communicate ably with something or nothing with no qualms and without

repercussion.  Actually, that's quite a goal.
