The pre-clear has his own responsibility in aiding his own case. He has just as active a part in locating engrams as the auditor. The pre-clear who expects to be run through dianetic therapy as though he were a car, with no volition of his own, slows his case enormously.
27.
The pre-clear who is being handled by an auditor less forceful than himself either from inherent personality or aberrations is liable to dictate to the auditor where they will look for engrams and what they will do about them. Remember that if a man knew his engrams they would not be engrams. Only an exterior mind, the auditor, knows what is best for the case. The pre-clear who attempts this is wasting his and the auditor’s time.
At the start of the session the pre-clear may dictate that, as he has a headache, they should put him back to a certain accident and see if that is it and so get rid of the headache. The headache isn’t important, ever. Getting engrams that will erase or reduce is important. All such dictations are “dodges,” aberrated efforts to avoid engrams. The less forceful auditor, man or woman, should recognize a “dodge” when they see one and the pre-clear, knowing this, should abandon this avoidance technique and let the auditor audit.
28.
The pre-clear should understand that the auditor is restrained in many ways by the Auditor’s Code. The pre-clear should know the code and, knowing it, should not impose unreasonably upon the auditor’s time or patience, for the auditor also has a life to live and out of courtesy and the code, may be imposed upon without being able to prevent it. Be thoughtful.
29.
There is one major motto in therapy for the pre-clear: “The only way out of it is through it!” Remember this. When the auditor says to go through the engram, be it ever so threatening, do not beg to come to present time for that brings the engram with it.
Two or three runs and the power of that engram is broken forever. “The only way out of it is through it!” Remember that.
30.
The pre-clear is the only one who “knows” what has been done to him. It may not be immediately in conscious recall, it may require dozens of hours to find specific information as to what people have done. But all the data is there, available for recall in therapy. If the data is not there, then it is not aberrative; if the data is there, it is aberrative. Only the pre-clear “knows” how long the case will take, only the pre-clear
“knows” how many allies he is trying to disguise. The pre-clear may not be able to 268
immediately recall it, but the information is there; he “knows” it. All knowledge of his whole lifetime is available to him via dianetic therapy. The auditor can use technique to attain the information, but it is the pre-clear who does the work, does the recalling. He is assisted by the auditor and by dianetics. Neither the auditor nor dianetics “knows”
what the content of the pre-clear’s engrams may be; only he knows that. The auditor and dianetics furnish the process, the pre-clear has the information necessary to resolve his case.
Good hunting!

BASIC: The first engram on any chain of similar engrams.
BASIC-BASIC: The first engram after conception, the basic of all chains by sole virtue of being the first moment of pain.
BOUNCER: Any engram command which, when approached by the analytical mind on the time track, makes the patient move back toward present time.
CHAINS: Any series of incidents in the engram bank which have similar content.
CIRCUIT: See DEMON.
CLEAR: The optimum individual; no longer possessed of any engrams. A clear is an individual who, as a result of dianetic therapy, has neither active nor potential psycho-somatic illness or aberration. Dictionary: Bright; unclouded, hence, serene; clean; audible; discriminating; understanding; free from doubt; sure; innocent; net, as profit over expenses; free from debt; free from any entanglement.

DENYER: Any engram command which makes a patient believe that the engram does not exist.
DIANETICS: Greek, dianoua -- thought -- or more correctly, DIA (Greek) “through,” NOUS
(Greek) “soul.”
DYNAMIC: The urge, thrust and purpose of life -- SURVIVE! -- in its four manifestations: self, sex, group, and Mankind.
ENGRAM: Any moment of greater or lesser “unconsciousness” on the part of the analytical mind which permits the reactive mind to record; the total content of that moment with all perceptics.
ENGRAM BANK: The storage place in the body where engrams, with all their percepts, are recorded and retained and from which engrams act upon the analytical mind and the body.
ENGRAM COMMAND: Any phrase contained in an engram.
ERASE: To cause an engram to “vanish” entirely by recountings, at which time it is filed as memory and experience.
GROUPER: An engram command which makes the time track or incidents on it become tangled in such a way that the track appears shortened.
270
HOLDER: Any engram command which makes an individual remain in an engram knowingly or unknowingly.
MEMORY: Anything which, perceived, is filed in the standard memory bank and can be recalled by the analytical mind.
MISDIRECTOR: Any engram command which makes the patient move in a way or direction on the track which is contrary to instructions of the auditor or the desires of the analytical mind of the patient.
PERCEPTIC: Any sense message such as a sight, sound, smell, etc.
PRE-CLEAR: Any person who has been entered into dianetic therapy.
PRE-RELEASE: Any patient who is entered into therapy to accomplish a release from his chief difficulties, psycho-somatic or aberrational.
PSYCHO-SOMATIC: Any physical disorder or ill generated by the mind. Psycho-somatic ills are caused by engrams.
REACTIVE MIND: The cellular level mind which is not “unconscious” but is always conscious -- the hidden mind, hitherto unknown.
REDUCE: To render an engram free from somatic or emotion by recountings.
RELEASE: Any person who has been advanced to a state approximating 1950 normal by dianetic therapy, whether advanced from a psychotic or neurotic condition. The act of releasing by therapy.
SOMATIC: Dianetic neologism for pain, any body condition experienced when contacting an engram; the pain of a psycho-somatic illness.
SONIC: Recall by hearing a past sound with the “mind’s ear.”
STANDARD MEMORY BANK: The storage place in the mind where all consciously perceived data (sight, sound, hearing, smell, organic sensation, kinesthesia, tactile as well as past mental computations) are recorded and retained and from which they are relayed to the analytical mind. Includes all data of a conscious nature from conception to “now.”
SUPPRESSOR: The exterior forces which reduce the chances of the survival of any form.
SYMBIOTE: Any entity of life or energy which assists an individual or Man in his survival.
TIME TRACK: The time span of the individual from conception to present time on which lies the sequence of events of his life.
