TA

to T to index

Tone Arm, a potentiometer on the E-meter that adjusts sensitivity. TA motion indicates "blowing charge", or success in auditing "therapy." Like almost every word in Scientologese, it has a loose definition, and is often used to indicate happiness, general success, warm fuzzy feelings, etc. "I was really getting some good TA on that editor in Clearwater!"


Target Two

to T to index

The expansion of scientology to other worlds. [rh: ref]


TARSCCDNE

to T to index

Acronym for "the arscc does not exist", the standard disclaimer, usually lower-case. See ARSCC.


TD

to T to index

Technical Dictionary; the cult's wonderful study of semantics gone awry; complements the Admin Dictionary. Recommended reading. Hubbard recommends certain dictionaries in the Student Hat course, and gives several reasons why certain dictionaries are bad. His own dictionary fits snugly into his own definition of a bad dictionary. Sometimes called the Tech Dictionary,


Tech

to T to index

Short for "technology", the quasi-scientific auditing "therapy" processes and actions of Scientology, as found in HCOBs, Hubbard Communication Office Technical Bulletins, collections of which are found in the Red Vols, qv. "You are hereby declared an SP, Sam, for committing Out-Tech."


Technique 88

to T to index

1. a technique is in there for everything. And that's why we say Technique 88. There's an infinity of techniques inside of Technique 88. Technique 88 includes all of the technology of doing anything that man or any other being has ever done. (5206CM25B)

2. is processing the theta body and actually anything that pertains to processing the theta body can be lumped into Technique 88. (5206CM27A)

3. the knowledge and know-how necessary to clear a theta body. (5206CM27A)


Teegeeack

to T to index

Earth. Its old name. 75 million years old, according to Hubbard.


Tenyaka Memorial

to T to index

A world-conspiracy that Hubbard was paranoid about; he was convinced this mysterious organization was responsible for coordinating attacks on Scientology, and that various mental health organizations were in cahoots with it, along with Nazis, drug companies, banks, Communists, spies, and, of course, psychiatrists. Compare Tanaka Memorial, 1927, a Japanese plan for world domination followed in aggression against China and later in WWII, named for prime minister general Tanaka, d. 1929. Hubbard seems to have misspelt and borrowed his paranoid delusion, just like many other things in his life! (Dianetics from dianoetic; Scientology from Scientologie, etc.)


Terminal

to T to index

A fully hatted (trained) person on their post (job), to which particles (people or paper) can be sent to and from. A dehumanizing term for people, but not a derogatory word inside the cult. "After being Declared, your only Terminal is the International Justice Chief."


Theta

to T to index

1. Uptone. "That was a really Theta speech Miscavige gave about how we are stopping the Psyches from taking over the world."

2. Life force. "This universe was constructed by Theta."


Theta Clear

to T to index

1. It is a person who operates exterior to a body without need of a body.

2. That state wherein the preclear can remain with certainty outside his body when the body is hurt.

3. A theta clear, then can be defined as a person who is at cause over his own reactive bank and can create and uncreate it at will. Less accurately he is a person who is willing to experience. Theta clear is stable.

4. Theta clear would mean clear of the mest body or cleared of the necessity to have a mest body.

5. There are two types of theta clear, the theta being which is cleared of its necessity or compulsion to have a body and a theta being which is cleared all the way on the track.

6. The basic definition of theta clear is: no further necessity for beingnesses.

7. This is a relative not an absolute term. It means that the person, this thought unit, is clear of his body, his engrams, his facsimiles, but can handle and safely control a body.

8. In its highest sense, means no further dependency on bodies.

9. An individual who, as a being, is certain of his identity apart from that of the body, and who habitually operates the body from outside, or exteriorized. (from TD)


Theta-L

to T to index

An email discussion list for Scientologists in good standing. Discussion mainly revolves around vapid "wins" and hollow "success stories", interspersed with the occasional plan to destroy or remove alt.religion.scientology.


Thetan

to T to index

Spirit, Soul. "I now realize I am a Thetan, not a body."


Thursday at 2:00

to T to index

Time Track

to T to index

The consecutive mental image pictures recording the consecutive moments of "now" through which the individual has lived. It consists of locks, secondaries, and engrams. (HCOB 11 May, AD 15)[others]


TOK

to T to index

Tokyo Organization.


Tone Arm

to T to index

See TA.


Tone Forty or Tone 40

to T to index

The top of the emotional tone scale, seen as a godlike state of command and control of others; see Intention, Postulate.


Tone Forty Command

to T to index

An order given at Tone Forty, and therefore filled with mystical OT, Operating Thetan intention that must be instantly obeyed.


Tone Scale

to T to index

The list of all human emotional states, arranged beside an arbitrary scale number from -40 (total failure), through 0 (death), to +40. "SPs are at 1.1, Covert Hostility, on the Tone Scale."

Tone Scale

A scale which shows the emotional tones of a person. These, ranged from the highest to the lowest, are, in part serenity (the highest level), enthusiasm (as we proceed downward), conservatism, boredom, antagonism, anger, covert hostility, fear, grief, apathy. (from SOS glossary)

Tone Scale

The intention to exert effort bridges into the body by emotion. In other words, the physical-mental bridge is called the energy manifestation of affinity. As used in Dn, emotion could be called the index of state of being. In the English language, 'emotional' is often considered synonymous with 'irrational.' This would seem to assume that if one is emotional one cannot be reasonable. No more unreasonable assumption could possibly be made. (From the TD)


Touch Assist

to T to index

A cult medical regimen meant to reduce ridges (afflicted areas due to impact) in the body due to injury. Several methods are used. One involves repeatedly touching the injured part back to the object which caused the injury. Another involves using the hands to smooth away the supposed built-up ridges or force lines from impact between objects or flows. Yet another involves sticking a finger on the body, and saying "feel my finger" repeated, as always, ad nauseum.


Track

to T to index

Triple Humanitarians

to T to index

Name for those Scientologists donating 300 Gs per person to fund the new buildings for their "ideal orgs (churches)". [chuck beatty, ref]


TR-L

to T to index

Training Routine for Lying. A training routine in which a scientologist is trained to lying effectively. [rh]


TRs

to T to index

Training Routines. Designed to train the auditor "therapist" to be unresponsive to the PC patient. Side effect is creating a cold and distant "thousand-mile stare" in Scientologists' eyes.


Truth Rundown

to T to index

According to Chuck Beatty:

«The Truth Rundown consists of Rollback and then sec checking. It is an overall procedure to deal with the Black Propaganda that a staff member has spread about a well-intentioned group or individual.

Examples of typical Black Propaganda that a Sea Org member might have said and which he will have to deal with on the Truth Rundown are as follows. A person has about 50 to 100 of these lines, and similar lines are grouped into one overall line, so as not to be unnecessarily duplicative:

1) The CMO don't know what the hell they are doing. They are a bunch of amateurs.
2) Joe [good exec in fact] is an evil son of a bitch
3) Jane (an auditor) is a fucking squirrel! [When in truth she was auditor of the year.]
4) LRH does not know what he is talking about when it comes to how to polish a car.
5) LRH was always cross ordering himself.
6) Joe [Good junior overall in fact] likes to crash his stats just to get me [his senior] in trouble with my seniors.
7) The RTC Representatives are out to get me, they are like vultures. [When in fact the RTC Reps haven't acted in any way like this.]
Etc., etc.» [ref]
