(BUDDISM), Enlightenment is to know our own true nature, the true nature of the world, and the purpose and meaning of life. The path that leads to enlightenment is the path that leads to spiritual awareness. In order to attain spiritual awareness we have to know something that is beyond this world. “Knowing” means first getting in touch with the world of Truth, and then embarking on the journey of the self to experience it.

MENTAL MODEL, an explanation of someone’s thought process about how something works in the real world. It is a representation of the surrounding world, the relationships between its various parts and a person’s intuitive perception about his or her own acts and their consequences. Mental models can help shape behaviour and set an approach to solving problems (akin to a personal algorithm) and doing tasks.
CONCEPTUALIZATION, 1: inventing or contriving an idea or explanation and formulating it mentally. 2: an elaborated concept.
CONCEPTUAL MODEL, models that are represented by concepts or related concepts formed after a conceptualization process in the mind.

PROCESSING, CLEARING, DESTIMULATION, POSTULATE, PRECLEAR (PC), PROCESS, UNDERSTANDING and WORD CLEARING. ] CLEAR, n. 1: a thetan who can beat cause
knowingly and at will over mental matter, energy, space and time as regards the first dynamic (survival for self). The state of Clear is above the release grades (all of which are requisite to clearing) and is attained by completion of the Clearing Course at an Advanced Organization. (Scn AD) [In 1978 the Founder released HCOB 24 September 1978, Issue III, Dianetic Clear which states “The state of Clear can be achieved on Dianetics.”] 2: a Clear, in an absolute sense, would be someone who could confront anything
and everything in the past, present and future. (Abil Mi 256) 3: a Clear is not an all-knowing being. A Clear is somebody who has lost the mass, energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind. (SH Spec 80, 6609C08) 4: a picture is
CLEAR, 1: a clear space or part. 2: a high arcing shot over an opponent’s head in badminton. — in the clear :: 1: in inside measurement. 2: free from guilt or suspicion. 3: in plaintext : not in code or cipher. <a message sent in the clear>
EIDETIC, [Medical Definition] marked by or involving extraordinarily accurate and vivid recall especially of visual images. <an eidetic memory>
EMPOWER, 1: to give official authority or legal power to. <empowered her attorney to act on her behalf> 2: ENABLE 1a. 3: to promote the self- actualization or influence of. <women's movement has been inspiring and empowering women — Ron Hansen>
completely unnecessary for any kind of a recall at all which is probably about the only change there has been from the definition of a Book One Clear. (SH Spec 59, 6504C27) 5: a Clear has no vicious reactive mind and operates at total mental capacity just like the first book (DMSMH) said. In fact ever yearly definition of Clear is found to be correct. (HCOB 2 Apr 65) 6: the name of a button on an adding machine. When you push it, all the hidden answers in the machine clear and the machine can be used for a proper computation. So long as the button is not pressed the machine adds all old answers to all new efforts to compute and wrong answers result. Really, that’s all a Clear is. Clears are beings who have been cleared of wrong answers or useless answers which keep them from living or thinking. (Aud4 UK) 7: a Clear has risen from the analogy between the mind and the
computing machine. Before a computer can be used to solve a problem, it must be cleared of old
problems, of old data and conclusions. Otherwise, it will add all the old conclusions into the new one and produce an invalid answer. Processing clears more and more of these problems from the computer. The completely cleared individual would have all his self-determinism in present time and would be completely self-determined. (Abil 114A) 8: a thetan cleared of enforced and unwanted behavior patterns and discomforts. (HCOB 8 May 68) 9: simply an awareness of awareness unit which knows it’s an awareness of awareness unit, can create energy at will, and can handle and control, erase or re-create an analytical mind or reactive mind. (Dn 55!, pp.17-18) 10: a person who can have or not have at will anything in the universe. (5412CM06) 11: an unaberrated person. He is rational in that he forms the best possible solutions he can on the data he has and from his viewpoint. He obtains the maximum pleasure for the organism, present and future, as well as for the subjects along the other dynamics. The Clear has no engrams which can be
restimulated to throw out the correctness of
computation by entering hidden and false data in it.
INTREPID, characterized by resolute fearlessness, fortitude, and endurance. <an intrepid explorer>
FORTITUDE, 1: strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. …
ENLIGHTENED, 1: freed from ignorance and misinformation. <an enlightened time> 2: based on full comprehension of the problems involved. <issued an enlightened ruling>
ENLIGHTENED [INITIATE], people who have been introduced to the mysteries of some field or activity. <it is very familiar to the initiate>
ADEPT, 1: a highly skilled or well-trained
individual : EXPERT. <an adept in philosophy> 2: an enthusiastic adherent or devotee. (as of a
philosophy)
ADEPT, [New Age Definition] A person who is very skilled or proficient in a particular ability as in “When it comes to magick, he is an adept.” A description of such a person as in “He is adept at astrology.” In certain magickal orders, an adept is a person who has achieved a certain level of
advancement in that group, sometimes using the original Latin form of the term, adeptus. In the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, there are two different grades, the Adeptus Minor and the Adeptus Major. Each has subgrades such as the Neophyte Adeptus Minor.
SELF-ACTUALIZE, to realize fully one's potential.
STALWART, marked by outstanding strength and vigor of body, mind, or spirit. <stalwart common sense>
(DMSMH, p.111) 12: one who has become the basic individual through auditing. (DTOT, p.33) - v. 1: to clear: to release all the physical pain and painful emotion from the life of an individual. (DMSMH, p.170)
DIANETIC CLEAR, 1: the state of Clear can be achieved on Dn. It is not however attained by feeding people cognitions; Clears are made
through auditing. The state of Dn Clear means the pc has erased his Dn case or mental image pictures. The discovery that a Dn Clear must not be run on engrams, R3RA or any version of R3R, results in an expansion of the Non-Interference Zone.
(HCOB 25Jun70RAII) 2: the state of Clear can be achieved on Dianetics. The state of Dianetic Clear means the pc has erased his Dianetic case or mental image pictures; he has attained the ability to beat cause over mental matter, energy, space and time on the first dynamic. (HCOB 24 Sept 78 III)
MEST CLEAR, 1: by mest clear is meant a Book One clear. Here we defined clear in terms of
facsimiles. This is a rather simple mechanical definition. It said in effect that so far as human beings were concerned our preclear finally arrived at a point where he had full color-visio-sonic, had no psychoses or neuroses and could recall what had happened to him in this lifetime. (SCP, p.3) 2: someone who knows he has reached the bottom rung of the ladder on his way up. He also knows the rest of humanity uncleared is below this state but that they don’t know that they are. A mest clear still thinks of himself more or less as a body and is more or less subject to one. All engrams are effectually keyed out without being examined. For practical purposes they are erased. He has excellent recalls. They may or may not be eidetic. (Abil 87) 3: if a fellow can exist without synthetic
beingnesses, which are solutions to problem she can’t confront, you’ve got a mest clear. He is still in a body. He’s got body beingness yet, but he’s gotten rid of these synthetic valences. (SH Spec 36, 6108C09)

CLEARING, 1: a gradient process of finding places where attention is fixed and restoring the ability of the pc to place and remove attention under his own determinism. (HCOB 28 Feb 59) 2: what is clearing but regaining awareness that one is himself mocking up all his facsimilies and regaining confidence he can destroy them as well as create them. (HCOB 1 Feb 58)
CLEARING COMMANDS, 1: when running a process newly or whenever the preclear is confused about the meaning of the commands, clear the commands with the preclear, using the dictionary if necessary. The auditor reads the commands one at a time to the pc and asks the pc “What does this command mean to you?” (HCOB 14 Nov 65) 2: clear the commands (or questions or list items) by first clearing in turn each word in backwards sequence of the words in the command. (e.g. if command is “Do fish swim?” clear “swim” then “fish” then “do.”) This prevents the pc starting to run the process by himself while you are still clearing the words. (BTB 2 May 72R)
CLAY TABLE CLEARING, 1: a process of clearing words and symbols. (HCOB 9 Sept 64) 2: as one Scn remedy for increased IQ and
destimulation, clay table clearing is audited by an auditor in a session. The entire effort by the auditor in a session of clay table clearing is to help the pc regain confidence in being able to achieve things by removing the misunderstandings which have prevented that achievement.

exteriorization of a soul. (PXL, p.26)
COGNITIVE SHIFTING, a mental process of re- directing one's focus of attention away from one fixation and toward a different focus of attention. In the general framework of cognitive therapy and awareness management, cognitive shifting refers to the conscious choice to take charge of one's mental habits—and redirect one's focus of attention in helpful, more successful directions. In cognitive therapy a client is taught to shift his or her cognitive focus from one thought or mental fixation to a more positive, realistic focus. Cognitive shifting is also the core process of all meditation, especially in
Kundalini meditation but also in Zen meditation and even in Christian mysticism where the mind's attention is re-directed (or shifted) toward particular theologically-determined focal points. Recent
books]have spoken directly of cognitive shifting as a meditative procedure. The primary cognitive
technology that is used for cognitive shifting is called “focus phrase” methodology.
FOCUS PHRASE, is a term traditionally used in cognitive-therapy and awareness-management discussions, and now in more general use to describe elicitor statements that evoke a desired refocusing of attention. A specially-constructed short sentence or phrase that states a person's inner intent to refocus his or her attention immediately in a new pre- ordained direction. Based both on new research in cognitive science and on cognitive-shifting studies of ancient meditation techniques, focus phrases have been used as a meditative tool and therapy aid, and are being introduced as at-work attentive boosts. They are designed by to almost instantly redirect the mind's attention specifically toward worthwhile sensations, thoughts, images, and other mental experiences.

COGNITING, as-ising aberration with a realization about life. (HCOB 26 Apr 71 I)
FISHING A COGNITION, this is general ARC, answering the preclear’s origin process. When the preclear experiences a somatic, when he sighs, when he gives a reaction to a tone 40 process, the auditor repeats the process two or three more times (random number)and then pausing the process asks the preclear, “How are you doing now?” or “What is going on?” and finds out what happened to the preclear just as though the auditor has not noticed that the preclear had a reaction. The auditor does not point out the reaction but merely wants a discussion in general. During this discussion he brings the preclear up to at least a cognition that the preclear has had a somatic or a reaction and then’ merely continues the process without further
bridge. This is done randomly. It is not always done every time the preclear experiences a reaction. (HCOB 11 Jun 57 Reissued 12 May 72)

COMMUNICATION COURSE, 1: because the H.A.S. Course is a course about communication, it is often called the Comm Course (comm being for communication). (HCO PL 15 Apr 71R) 2: a basic Scn course consisting mainly of the TRs; also called the H.A.S. (Hubbard Apprentice

CONFESSIONAL, 1:sec checking done in session not for security purposes is called a
confessional. (HCOB 14 Oct 72) 2: in an effort to get around what was thought to be a public
relations scene, the name “security checking” was changed to “Integrity Processing.” This was also a PR error because the actual truth of the matter is it originated as “confessional” and should have simply been changed back to “handling of
confessions.” This administrative demand of name alteration threw the original issues on “sec
checking” into disuse. Additionally “Integrity Processing” did not include all the tech of sec checking. There should be no further confusion in this matter. “Sec checking,” “Integrity Processing” and “confessionals” are all the exact same
CONFESSIONAL, [noun] 1: a place where a priest hears confessions. 2: the practice of confessing to a priest. [adjective] 1: of, relating to, or being a confession especially of faith. 2: of, relating to, or being intimately autobiographical.
