Douglas jet aircraft resembling the Boeing 707, and used for trans-Atlantic flights starting in the late 1950s.

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).

A formula combined with vitamins and other materials (such as benzedrine) to make the intake of nicotinic acid more effective. Dianazene runs out radiation — or what appears to be radiation. It also proofs a person up [sic] against radiation to some degree. It also turns on and runs out incipient cancer. (All About Radiation, pp. 123-124) Strangely, Hubbard thought that drugs were destructive enough to warrant a Purification Rundown to try to eliminate them. See also Guk Bomb, Purif, Drug Rundown.

Hubbard's derivative (of Freud's abreactive therapy, among others) mental healing therapy; scorned by the mental health profession as being unscientific nonsense.

"I was ordered to disconnect from my wife after she was declared." See SP, PTS.

There are two of these, one at the bottom of the Bridge, one near the top. While the Purification Rundown is meant to remove the drugs residues supposedly stored in your fat, the Drug Rundown is meant to audit out the harmful effects of drugs on your mind. It is all very spiritual. (Or is that medical? Or should that be financial?) See Grades, OT 4, Purif. See also Dianazene, Guk Bomb, for comparison. Two things seem to be pulling in different directions here; on the one hand you have Hubbard trying to cleanse drugs out of the system with his Purification Rundown, and on the other hand there is his admitted use of drug compounds on his guinea-pig followers.

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. (SOS, Bk. 2, p.26) (From TD)
