SE11EP28 - Independent Scientology - Word Clearing and Handling Confusion
Words shape our reality. They define our understanding, create or resolve conflicts, and determine our ability to navigate life successfully. Yet how often do we consider the profound impact that misunderstood words have on our daily experiences?
This eye-opening exploration of word clearing methods reveals a transformative technology that addresses the root cause of educational struggles, communication breakdowns, and even personal conflicts. The podcast hosts Quentin, Arthur, and John break down the nine distinct methods of word clearing developed in Scientology, making these powerful tools accessible to independent practitioners and curious learners alike.
At the heart of this discussion lies a revolutionary concept: at the bottom of every confusion or conflict sits a misunderstood word. When cleared properly, these misunderstandings dissolve, releasing mental "mass" and freeing you to truly comprehend subjects that may have baffled you for years – perhaps even lifetimes.
From Method One, which recovers your entire education by addressing subjects you struggled with in school, to Method Eight's comprehensive approach that creates "super literacy," each technique serves a specific purpose in building complete understanding. The hosts share personal experiences with these methods, including Arthur's remarkable journey clearing fundamental words that transformed his ability to study.
Perhaps most exciting is how modern technology enhances these time-tested approaches. The hosts reveal how artificial intelligence can now generate complete word lists from any material, provide comprehensive definitions, and accelerate the learning process in ways unavailable even a few years ago.
Whether you're struggling with a specific subject, seeking to improve communication in relationships, or simply curious about why certain topics have always seemed impenetrable, these word clearing methods offer practical solutions that no one else is talking about. As Quentin powerfully states, "The powers that be would have you stay ignorant... the less literate you are, the more they can control you."

Hi and welcome to another Scientology Outside of the Church podcast brought to you by ao-gporg and thecollegeofindependentscientologycom, our online course room and social media platform. I'm here with Quentin and Arthur and we're going to do a little educational podcast on the different types of word clearing methods of word clearing in independent Scientology. There are nine methods of word clearing and some of the people that listen to the podcast may or may not be familiar with them at all. Others might have heard of one or two of them. So we're going to go over these different methods and explain them, and this will be also used as a reference that we can put on. Well, the Method One course or the Course Supervisors course or Student Hat, and you can get all this information in a handy, dandy little compendium called the podcast. So how are you guys this afternoon afternoon it's actually afternoon here too how are you guys doing? Doing?
Speaker 1:good very good, but arthur's enjoying his patio I am this is newly found airbnb.
Speaker 1:So, uh yeah, this is season 11, episode 28,. Saturday, september 6, 2025. And we'll start off with method one word clearing, which is the first type of word clearing, and the end result of method one word clearing is a recovery of one's own education, which is a really cool end phenomena for something to get your feet wet in learning how to audit. We have the co-audit course on the college of independent Scientology dot com for three hundred dollars as a co-audit, where you can co-audit somebody else over the internet with a theta meter. How cool is that? Yes, and you also get to learn how to use an e-meter and how to do rudiments, because this is an important thing that needs to be done.
Speaker 1:Rudiments are the ARC break, present time problem miswithhold that you handle as you would go into regular session. So it's a good primer beginning step to learn how to audit and it's probably some of the most fun you can have auditing because it is in a regular session, a standard session, and do word clearing. So it kills a lot of birds with one stone you learn the E-meter, you get the rudiments, you learn how to recover somebody's education, and this podcast was with Arthur's idea. Arthur, what gave you the idea on it?
Speaker 3:Well, I remember when I um studying through the church itself, um, they, they pushed me towards doing something like that, doing the method, one word clearing, and I think they gave me a quote of ten thousand dollars, ten thousand or fifteen thousand dollars, I can't quite remember exactly how much. It was right.
Speaker 3:And what was interesting was, because I was struggling with word clearing at the time, um, they felt that I needed to spend that money and get that word clearing done right as in receiving it, as, in receiving it, yep, um, and then, a couple weeks ago, uh, you and I were talking about it, um, and I just found it really interesting, and also just the power of word clearing full stop yeah, and I think that go ahead, yeah, sorry and um, and I think what, what intrigues about because method one is where you go through your schooling, yeah, where you clear the words, subjects, that kind of thing and what I find interesting about that is how much of us did go to school and how much did we actually miss at school, and there's a method here that can reopen that door and that I find extremely curious yeah, because it the the thing that causes a person to stop studying is because they have misunderstood on that, that particular subject, and this method one gives you a list of subjects you know mathematics, uh physics, uh archaeology, or even if you've had other subjects that you may have had misunderstoods on, you can assess that list of subjects.
Speaker 1:That's the first thing that you do and you have the person receiving the method one give you any subjects that they had trouble with that aren't on this prepared list, and you assess them on the meter. And any subject that reads, you take up and you say, okay, well, on the subject of, uh, archaeology, what word has been misunderstood? And in so doing and this has happened to me many, many times uh, pre-internet days, we would have to go to the public library and look up some word that was in Hebrew that the person had never encountered this lifetime. So you tend to go past life on misunderstood words, which is really cool because words have chains and those words go back and back and back, and you would have to look them up in the library because there wasn't this thing called the internet yet and find these words in, you know, whatever the language is, to an english interpretation of it to get the definition of it, which is I. I mean you know to some people might be bizarre, but this is how word chains work.
Speaker 1:You start going back to things because you may have had this subject misunderstood for lifetimes. So you can see how somebody could struggle with a subject this lifetime because they had misunderstood words on the backtrack. How about that? And this is before. I mean all of the people that I audited on it had not gone. I don't want to say whole track, but it passed lives. They hadn't done any past life auditing at all. But with this simple method of word clearing you're going past life.
Speaker 3:How about that?
Speaker 1:and so that's metered word clearing as well, yeah, yeah, it's all metered word clearing on on method one. Quentin, did you want to say something?
Speaker 2:you're you're muted, um, like stuff I was just going to say that, yeah, when and when we think about clearing words and you, you think like, oh, if I'm just trying to study a subject or whatever, but I'll say this in living abroad, uh, living in a different part of the world where english is not the first language, um, I can see how misunderstood words cause all types of confusion, right, and whether it's in my situation, you know, being in a international relationship, or being in a situation where it's like I'm trying to communicate something to you but you don't understand what I'm saying and I don't know, you don't understand it. That just is an upset. You know, there's a fight, there's an argument, there's a, there's some kind of pushback and it's like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What did you misunderstand here? Like, what do you think I was trying to say to you, right? Well, so LRH has a.
Speaker 2:Lrh has a bulletin, august 31st 1971. It's in the word clearing series on confused ideas. And he said whenever a person has a confused idea of something or believes there is some conflict of ideas, this is interesting. Some conflict of ideas. It is always true and so this is in all caps it is always true that a misunderstood word exists at the bottom of that confusion. And so anytime there's a conflict of ideas, or there's a confusion of ideas like oh I don't know what you're talking about, or now we in conflict, there's always a misunderstood word at the bottom of that.
Speaker 1:That's crazy and that's and that's like we've mentioned in a ton of other podcasts is that at the bottom of every overt is a misunderstood word. So you can see how and why this needs to be done in an auditing session and everything, and that you, if you need to do rudiments at the beginning, the middle or the end, you can do them, and how conflicts arise because of misunderstandings. And what is a conflict? It's an ARC break and all ARC breaks stem from missed withholds per LRH. So then you've got the missed withhold, you pull and then you say, okay, so what's the overt underneath that missed withhold? Oh, okay, good, what, what? What's the precursor before that overt when you pull it all the way down, and then you'll find that misunderstood word. How about that?
Speaker 3:yeah, so true, like how many conflicts come about just due to a misunderstanding, and even a conflict is labeled a misunderstanding. Oh, they're having a misunderstanding isn't that funny.
Speaker 1:It's, it's a, it's a, it was. It was a misunderstanding that we, we, we, we bombed you and then you bombed us.
Speaker 2:It was a misunderstanding what word is almost like fully get and it's almost like we automatically know, like we automatically know when there's some conflict that it really is just a misunderstanding right, like like in nine times out of 10, 9.9 times out of 10, like we really don't want to just go around killing folks or blowing folks up or fighting or arguing, you know whatever. Whatever is something is being misunderstood here and when that happens, I think that this is a really really powerful, stable datum to know that at the bottom of every conflict is a mu a misunderstood and and that needs to be, you know, sorted out in order to find some kind of harmony yeah, exactly so.
Speaker 1:The, the, the end result of method one, and everybody should do it, and and uh, it's not said in the bulletins but it's. It's important to know that when you clear up your education, what happens is, once you've gotten the end phenomena of method one, when you go past a misunderstood word, you're going to know it because you've cleared off all of this surface charge from these subjects and the phenomena of you know, like you just want to put your head on the table, it gets bypassed until this stuff is cleared up, at least this way. But what I'm saying is is that it's very manifest after method one. When you pass a misunderstood word, the phenomena turns on instantly. It's sort of like a brick wall and you say, oh, I got an mu, what is that? And you catch it.
Speaker 1:You know I've seen people that have done method one and their eyes are all puffy and you know they're yawning like crazy and everything like, is that where you, oh, jesus, what's going on? And you're like, oh, you got an mu. Yeah, it's just, it's amazing, it just hits me like it's kind of bricks. The glory of method one word clearing is upon you now. You, now, you know you don't go 10 pages on and then go oh gosh, I'm not getting this. It's immediate and that's the thing is, it gives you sort of a maturity that you wouldn't have otherwise as a student, to where you can get it all cleared up.
Speaker 3:That's so good. So what's the end? Phenomena for method one.
Speaker 1:Again, the end phenomena is a recovery of one's own education and the inability to now go past misunderstood almost instantly, because you're going to have the phenomena turn on where you might have been glib beforehand, glib being, you didn't catch it, you didn't know it, you didn't know that you missed a word. Now're gonna know in the physical universe, like we and we could have covered this in the last podcast about bodies is that the the objective side of it is you get the phenomena instantly, so you're much more astute when you pass a word and then you're gonna okay, I need to look this up so you're mature about it, if, if you'll excuse the phrase, so that those are the two end phenomena. So that brings us to word clearing method two, which was.
Speaker 2:Can I just say something as we continue to open up the conversation, because I think that also, too, when we look at um communication as the right. So, again, we're talking, obviously, about study and study tech and clearing words and stuff like that, which those who might be interested in listening to this podcast, we'll try to make it as interesting for those that are not on course or didn't wanna be on course. But when we talk about clearing words, we're also really talking about communication. Right, we're talking about, like, how we actually communicate in life, and so I think it's really interesting, because how do we mock up communications?
Speaker 2:Like you want to talk to somebody and you know somebody who you might find interesting, or you know you want to shake somebody's hand or get to know someone, or whatever, but one might not feel like they have the words, or I can't find the words. Have you ever heard that before? I can't find the words. I know what I want to say, but I can't find the words Right. Find the words, I know what I, I know what I want to say, but I can't find the words right, and I think that that the confusion that takes place in those moments is really, uh, uh, commonplace amongst most people that they just don't. They don't know what's happening like what are they? What are they missing?
Speaker 1:here, right, and you know this. This also goes back to the barriers to study as well. Yeah, that we should probably take a moment to describe. There are three barriers to study that you learn on the student hat course and the basic study course, or basic study manual as it used to be called. And those three barriers are the phenomena of a misunderstood word, too steep of a gradient and your lack of mass. Those are the three barriers to study and that's something that we have. Fortunately, it's covered in all of the check sheets that we offer in independent Scientology. So too steep of a gradient is not an issue with Scientology courses independent Scientology courses because you learn how to crawl and then walk and then run on our check sheets, and you can do that with any subject if you want.
Speaker 1:You can create a check sheet for any subject in anything, if you understand it and make sure that it's understandable. That's the problem that modern education is Okay. You go into Algebra 1 and they start talking to you about all this stuff and they don't really define what what algebra is for, what's its purpose? Just for example, what's the purpose of algebra? Why are we using uh, x's and y's to figure things out? Because they're very right. I mean right, it's, it blows me away. Or chemistry class, what is the periodic table of the elements? Why is it this way? You know these basic things and you know, with the advent of the Internet, there's a lot more information out there that's available on subjects and now we have a lot more mass that is given to us subjects, and now we have a lot more mass that is given to us. You want to almost any obscure thing.
Speaker 1:You can get a video on how to do it, and your common everyday man is saying, okay, well, here's how you change the. What is it called? I'm trying to remember when I went to look. I couldn't find it anywhere in writing, but I went to YouTube and there it was. I'm trying to remember when I went to look. I couldn't find it anywhere in writing, but I went to YouTube and there it was. It was how to change the unit on a Mercedes diesel engine in a class A motorhome and what causes it to break down, and that they break down frequently because it was an afterthought due to EPA regulations, break down frequently because it was an afterthought due to EPA regulations.
Speaker 1:What's it going to do when it breaks down? How many miles, all this stuff? Well, I mean, you can do this with any subject and you can add video to get mass on it and put in an appropriate gradient and clear the basic words up of the subject before you ever get started. I mean, you know Scientology and Dianetics is no different, but every course generally on our check sheets has these basic words right at the beginning. So word clearing isn't as necessary if you have somebody that's willing to take the time to clear up the basics of the subject, like Phaeton, out key and clear postulates and gram and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:So right, not not to give you too many of you not to get, yeah, not to give you too many mus, but uh, with and all those things. We've cleared up an earlier podcast too. So so you got to be, you got to be careful with the words that you use with people on podcasts because of that phenomenon yeah and and and also too.
Speaker 2:You know, when we look at these confusions, at the bottom of any confusion, at the bottom of any confusion or conflict of ideas, is a misunderstood word. Uh ellery says in this lecture on pandeterminism it's pandeterminism, 24th December 1954, he says that an individual substitute for pandeterminism prediction. He said let's get this right on the line here very accurately For pandeterminism he substitutes prediction. When he cannot predict listen to this when he cannot predict his automatacity in the world around him, things that's going on automatically in the world around him, when he cannot predict this automatacity in the world around him, he substitutes confusion in the world around him. He substitutes confusion, non-prediction confusion. Same breed of cat, this same thing.
Speaker 2:Inability to predict leads to a confusion, startlement, amazement, upset. You see that All right. Confusion leads to mystery because the individual backs off and will have nothing further to do with it. This is what happens, on course. This is what happens when you're studying something. This is what happened in college, when you dropped out of school. This is what happens when you had a break with your boo or whatever the case may be, had a break with your boo or whatever the case may be. When an individual has a confusion because they cannot predict, get this, they cannot predict what's going on around them. That leads to confusion, that leads to startlement, to amazement, to upset. Confusion leads to mystery and the individual backs off and will have nothing further to do with it. How many times have we seen this happen in our lives? How many times have we seen this happen in our world? How many times does this happen when it comes to financial matters or whatever it gets to be? Confusion, confusion, I don't know this stuff back off on it, don't want to touch it. Technology.
Speaker 1:Right, right, and that's what happens when the misunderstood word is that the person individuates and then, and in so individuating, they leave the subject because they have to. Well, like he says in the misunderstood word, phenomena is you start to disassociate and look for reasons to not be there anymore, which is the underpinnings of an overt which we've gotten into another podcast. So the person leaves and they drop the subject. You know, I quit college because, well, you know, I didn't understand what they were saying, I couldn't find the words and I didn't. Well, okay, did you, did you look those words up? Okay, do you need some help looking those words up? Which leads us to method two word clearing.
Speaker 1:And method two word clearing is done either after the student has studied something or the person is daunted by the subject. You can put them on the meter and then you can say all right, so go ahead and read this page and as they read it and the meter reads which is a small fall fall, long fall or long fall blowdown? It's a bigger needle movement to the right small fall, fall, long fall, long fall blowdown is where the needle goes down and stays down or goes off the dial and you have to bring it back up, which means the bigger the read, the bigger the charge. And so the word clearer stops and asks the student what was the word you just read? Okay, so isn't that interesting that you can have a person sit there in front of you on a meter and read the materials and when you get a read on the meter, you ask them what was the word you just read?
Speaker 1:So the meter. You ask them what was the word you just read? So misunderstood words, as a person is reading on the meter. When they're on the meter holding the cans Shows up. That's I mean.
Speaker 1:to me it's just like I think it's incredible yeah, I mean it's pretty cool, it really is it's super cool and we'll.
Speaker 1:We'll get into this later on, after, after we get through the, the nine methods about how, how solo auditing and and study becomes so much easier because of this. But the whole idea is is that when the word reads in method two, word clearing, you have the student clear up the definitions While they're on the meter. You find the definition that fits appropriately for what they're reading. You clear up that definition. What does it mean in your own words? After they've given you the definition? Let's say it's definition two of three. Okay, good. Now what does it mean in your own words? Okay, good, I know that you know you understand it. Now give it to me in some sentences. And they give you one, two, three, four, however many they need to do to make sure that they get a conceptual understanding with it. Once they get a conceptual understanding with it, then the meter will show a floating needle which says everything's groovy.
Speaker 1:And now the, the mass, is keyed out with that misunderstood word. And that's important as well is that misunderstood words pull in mental mass. Yes for a thetan. Okay, that's so big right. So it could be said that all and this is what arthur was talking about earlier all misunderstandings, all auditing is concerned with fixing misunderstandings which are misunderstood postulates, decisions, etc. And you're clearing these things up, not from the concept of a word, but you're you're clearing them up from the concept of something that happened that was based off of a word more often than not.
Speaker 1:So with method two, word clearing, you have them read. Whatever it is that you need to have them read, whether it's a paragraph or 10 pages or whatever on the meter, and you clear up every single word that reads on the meter until the person has that material and no words read. So they've got it. You know they've got it. They know they've got it. That's that's about. I mean, it's just phenomenal that you can do that. Yeah, so that brings us to method three, word clearing. Let me see if I can find it here. I want to make sure so that I have the reference in front of me.
Speaker 3:That's a pretty cool tool being able to use the meter with word clearing, like how much time would that save?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then it registers as a actual mental mass versus oh, when they say sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt. You have we heard that before?
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah, right yeah that is.
Speaker 2:That is not true. And you know, and we think about spells and spelling, spelling words and stuff like that these things can actually interrupt or impact you as a being. And it's like, let's be very clear here when you clear your words, you can be clear, you can, you cannot be what is what's the, what's the, uh, the rule? You can't be the effect of that, what you understand, something like that, um yeah, you can't be the effect of that which you understand something like that.
Speaker 3:Um yeah, you can't be the adverse effect of something that you understand yeah, that's I mean it's funny you say that actually because, um, I remember when john and I were doing um, my auditing, and we were doing word clearing, and I always believed that there were certain words intentionally created to create discomforts.
Speaker 3:And then I remember john's like, oh, have a look at this, and there it is a whole heap of words um created and selected just on that particular subject, there, certain words that were created to to cause harm, essentially to create engrams to bts, however far you want to go with it. And then you look at occult symbolism as well and the intention of spell casting, as you said, it's, it's all words. I mean, if you're going to conjure a spirit, you want to be pretty damn careful on the language and symbols you use, because one distortion of that language or symbol, you're not going to get what you want well, well, and it's important to note, if you look at the derivation of the word spelling okay, since we're talking about this, okay, spelling a word and what, what?
Speaker 1:what did they used to do? They used to cast spells. Isn't that funny? So spelling grammar grammar spelling. If you you can't do spells, if you don't know how to spell accurately, it's a wait. I just conjured Beelzebub. What the hell happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Because he hadn't misunderstood. I didn't even know it. Whoops, I just had a little thing occur Grimoire grammar, Grimoire grammar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was going to say that.
Speaker 3:Grimoire, grammar, grandma, grandma.
Speaker 1:yeah, I was gonna say that grandma yeah, right, so that's why it's important to make sure that you understand the derivations of words, because these have a whole track influence on a person and you can clear up so much with a derivation.
Speaker 2:And even in legal terminology like think about it when you go to court and they give you a sentence They've sentenced you. Think about that.
Speaker 3:Or they've summoned you. You are to appear in front of the court because they summoned you, because they're talking about spirits.
Speaker 2:That's a different podcast, but that's a good one, yeah that's a good. We'll do a whole one on court yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1:It goes pretty deep. So we'll do that as our next one. Yeah, yeah, from method three. Now, method three word clearing is the method of finding a student's misunderstood word by having them look earlier in the text. Then where they're having trouble for a word they don't understand say, for example, the student is not flying along or is not as bright as he was he must look earlier in the text for a misunderstood word. So you'd have the person go back and find the word and then look it up, use it in sentences, like we said earlier, and then of his own composition. And you know people run into problems with making sentences with a word. Sometimes they omit the word and then you know they still don't understand it. So you have to really get that clear with them and then get them to use the sentences properly using that word. So once they've done the sentences, then you've got it cleared up and then you clear up the other definitions of that word and the derivation and then you'll see that the student brightens up, comes up tone and now you have them read forward, picking up any other misunderstoods that they might have that they read before they caught the misunderstood that we just went back and found that's method three and that's very, very, very common for a course supervisor to use with the student. Where were you last doing good? Oh, it was here. Okay, let's take a look there and see what happened right before that. Okay, there it is and look it up.
Speaker 1:So that leads us to method four, which is another metered form of word clearing and is used a lot with auditor training people on a particular post or job and basically what it is is method four fishes for the misunderstood word. So what you would do is you'd say, okay, let's, let's take a look at this first paragraph. There. Is there anything in that paragraph you couldn't think with? And you do that on the meter. Is there anything in that paragraph you didn't fully get?
Speaker 1:And when one of these questions on method four reads well, then, okay, now you have the student go and find that word. So it's a more broader form of word clearing their job, that type of a thing and dependent upon how much word clearing a person has, sometimes you can say, okay, put your attention on that whole page as opposed to put your attention on that first paragraph, and then you ask them the question and when the meter reads, okay, then we go, find the word, we clear it up with standard word clearing procedure and make sure that all of the words in that paragraph or that page are cleared up. The needle floats, which says everything's groovy, it's keyed out, meaning there's no more mass associated with it, and you move on. So that takes us to method five.
Speaker 2:Can I say something about that real quick? Sure, that sounds to me like I literally have a client right now who is in the insurance industry and she's found what she's most comfortable with, but it doesn't make her the most money, right, and so she's found what she's most comfortable with because it's an easy product in the insurance industry to understand, product in the insurance industry to understand. But when it comes to, like some of the higher end products like annuities and index universal life plans and stuff like that, she's like, oh, I don't know how to do that. Oh, no, no, I don't know, I don't know how to do that. And I'll say, well, why don't you do those? Like that makes you a lot more money and you can help a lot more people, you know, by helping them set up, you know, retirement accounts and da, da, da, da. And she's like, oh, no, no, no, I don't know how to do that. And what it is is it's a whole bunch of MUs Like, if I asked her, like, let's go through this, and how did you ask the question, what is it that you can't think with?
Speaker 2:I think that's a really good question. What about this paragraph? What in this paragraph can you not think with Hmm, I want to understand, I want to apply this in my life, but I can't think with that. I can't think with you know, when it comes to you know, allocating my 401k with the index of the you know upper gradient for the hedge fund of my you know whatever. Like, I can't think with that. And so then a person just says, oh, I'm just gonna put some money in the savings account, well, okay, but that might not be the best way for you to handle your money, you know. Or I'll just make a wheel, as opposed to going through all the elaborateness of creating a trust. You know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1:Yes, method four. Okay, you know it's interesting. Yes, method four. Okay, right, method four. So that brings us to method five. Method five word clearing is a system where the word clearer feeds words to the person and you have them define each one of those words. It's called material cleaning, cleaning, clearing and cleaning. So you're clearing the material of a particular subject, like you were saying finance and trusts and things like that. What is what is a ledger in finance? What's the definition of ledger? You'd be surprised how many people don't, up until everything became electronic, how many people didn't know how to balance a checkbook because they didn't understand the basic, the basic concepts of what's. What's the definition of balance? What's your balance? Your balance is what you have in your checking account.
Speaker 3:Now that sort of thing you clear these up.
Speaker 1:What's the definition of this word? And if they don't get it, you clear it up. And it's not a metered form of word clearing, but you just ask them OK, so what is the definition of X? And so that way you know that they understand the particular words dealing with a particular subject or job post. What have you? So that's method five. Now I've got a quick question, yeah go ahead.
Speaker 3:Yep. So, like on that last last one, you were giving an example on particular subjects you know, like, let's say, science or, as you were saying, with finance. Um, could that still be done using a meter as well, or is there certain things that require metered word clearing versus just face-to-face a co-audit or a co-word?
Speaker 1:clearing. It can be done metered, because when you do an auditing command in an auditing session, if you think that the person doesn't understand the word, you can say, okay, what's the definition of whatever the word is, while you're in session? And and if they don't understand it and or it reads sometimes misunderstood words won't read when you're dealing with with clearing commands and stuff like that, because they didn't know, they didn't know it's below, it's that far below their awareness, and you go, wait, wait, wait. You're saying that a dog is a sheep. Oh, oh, wait a minute. Okay, we need to clear this up with them. So it you know, method five is used all the time. What is the definition of? If it was, the auditing command was do birds fly? You asked the the definition of the words in the command backwards, so they're not running the auditing command before you do the command. So if it was, do birds fly, what is the definition of fly? What is the definition of birds? What is the definition of do? And if it reads, you look it up. If, obviously, it doesn't read and they tell you and it means something completely different than what it really means, you clear that up so that that could be said to be almost a form of method five. Okay, so, to answer your question, yes, you can do that, okay. Okay, so that brings us to method six.
Speaker 1:Method six this is key word clearing and it's used on posts and specific subjects. So you make a list of key or important subjects relating to a person's job or or whatever, and then you have them, look them up in the dictionary and then write down the definitions, and then the word clearer, without showing the person the definitions, asks them to define each word. So the word clearer then checks the definition on the list for general correctness, not word for word, but meaning. Any slow or hesitancy by the person being word cleared is met with having the person look up the word and look up any word in the definition the person does not have a grasp of, because sometimes words in a definition can be understood as well, and then you get into a word chain, and a word chain is generally brought about by either somebody is fundamentals that are missing on basic words.
Speaker 1:You know small common words, like what you ran into, arthur, with a, and and and yes, it and of yep, and so you might have to clear those words up in a definition and then clear up the original word that you were looking up. That happens a lot. Or you need to use a lower gradient dictionary. Some people need to use elementary school dictionaries as opposed to college level dictionaries, and that's another reason why you can get onto word chains is you're using too high of a gradient of a dictionary. So make sure you're not getting on these long word chains and everything like that, and then you can get things done a lot quicker. Or you can get your small common words cleared up in session on a meter with us, like arthur did, and that will change your life if need be.
Speaker 3:If that's something you need to do, and it's- and it's interesting what you just said about the dictionaries as well. Like quite often, I found having a handful of dictionaries, including um, even children's dictionaries, um, can be really beneficial. Really beneficial because the simplicity in in some some of the definitions in the children it's it just makes it so much easier because some dictionaries can be quite complicated in some of the definitions in a children's dictionary. It just makes it so much easier because some dictionaries can be quite complicated in their definitions. So having a broad variety of dictionaries really makes a difference.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a lot easier now because of the internet. I mean you can have multiple sources open at the same time on your virtual desktop, as opposed to having five dictionaries open on a on a physical desk so that and ai as well, is grateful word clearing. Yeah, it is, as long as you tell it to give you all of the definitions and the derivation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to be very clear with it, yeah you know you have to kind of had it first and say okay, when I ask you for the definition of a word, give me the appropriate definitions at the level of a fifth grader or a seventh grader or whatever. Whatever it is. You know that that you feel comfortable with. Have it, give you all of those definitions and the derivation and stuff like that, and that's really, really handy. I mean, you guys came up with a neat little trick.
Speaker 1:You took Alice in Wonderland and you asked AI to give all of the all of the he says and she, she saids uh, as just the actual statement so that you could use them in your, your tr one, two, two and a half on the, the training regimens and communication drills. So you didn't have to go rummaging through the book, they were just all there and they were given to you by ai in about a less than a second right we asked for, like we asked for like 300 and there it was yeah, yeah so ai can be a great tool for word clearing as well.
Speaker 1:I mean you, you almost don't need to go to another dictionary other than chat, gpt or any of the others, gemini or claude meta. They'll do the same thing. So, moving on, uh, method seven, word clearing.
Speaker 1:Uh is when you're working with children or foreign language persons where english is a second language to them or any other language, whatever their base language is, they're studying something in a different language to them or any other language, whatever their base language is, they're studying something in a different language that they're somewhat familiar with, where you have the person read it aloud.
Speaker 1:And that method the person is made to read it aloud to find out what what he is doing. The procedure is you have him read it aloud, note each omission or word change or hesitation or frown as they read it, and then you take it up at once, correct it by looking it up for them or explaining it to them, so you don't get them into a word chain, word salad, and by doing this a person can be brought up to literacy. So you're basically making it simpler by describing it to them, as opposed to having them read it and get on a huge, massive set of word chains, and that comes in really, really, really handy when you're dealing with somebody who's working in the second language not their base language or with children. And would you still have them would?
Speaker 2:you still have them, like, run their own sentences. So let's say, after you describe it to them or help them, uh, work with the concept of it, would you still have them run their own sentences? Let's say, after you describe it to them or help them work with the concept of it, would you still have them run their own sentences with?
Speaker 1:it Not really. You just want to make sure that they understand it. You can do that if you want to be thorough and they're old enough to do it.
Speaker 2:Because you're dealing with a five-year-old, it might be a little tricky, but um, I was like I was thinking of foreign language students or something like that, or somebody learning a language right.
Speaker 1:Learning a language, especially is, is where it's particularly helpful, because they don't know the words, and I, I mean English, is not the easiest language to learn with. We have all these homonymic words. You know, there and there, t-h-e-i-r and T-H-E-R-E and T-H-E-R-E apostrophe. You know it's very confusing for somebody in another language, especially if it's a language where nouns are either feminine or masculine, like in your latin based languages. Yes, you know french, for example, or spanish. You know it's like well, why is? Why is this a feminine gender? Why is? Why are desks feminine and why are? Why are? Yeah, you know, and all that stuff. So it gets really confusing. And that's where method seven comes in to help with that sort of a thing, because we don't do that in english as just as an example.
Speaker 1:Now the next one is method eight word clearing. This is the primary rundown and this is almost almost a lost tech. Uh, that you don't. You don't see it in the church anymore at all, and the primary rundown is basically its end product is super literacy. Word clearing is the essence of the course. Method eight is always done with a twin, usually an alphabetical list of every word or term in the text of a paper, a chapter or a recorded tape is available and provided and with AI it makes it super easy to do. This was every single word on the student hat tapes from the St Hill Special Briefing Course, because that's where the study tapes derived is from the briefing course that LRH gave from 1961 to 1966. So you're taking every word that he mentions in these 10 lectures and you're doing them in alphabetical order and you're clearing every single word, regardless of whether you know it or not, and making sure that you have complete conceptual understanding of it is fabulous and that makes you super literate out of curiosity, how many words are in those 10 lectures?
Speaker 1:I honestly I honestly couldn't tell you how many there are, but it would be really simple to do because you could take the transcripts and put them into chat, gpt or cloud or meta or Gemini and say, ok, here's these, these 10 transcripts. I want you as a, as a prompt in AI, I want you to give me a list of all of the words, without repeating them just once only. Please give me a list of all of the words used in alphabetical order, in these ten lectures, transcripts, and then, once it's done that, then you can have the, the GPT. Then take that list and give me a definition for every one of these words in this list. I mean, this just blows my mind.
Speaker 3:That's a really good idea.
Speaker 1:You can do this now.
Speaker 3:That'd be a great idea to do at the beginning of any course. Yeah, that you're about to do. Well, I mean, you know you haven't only elongated the runway on some courses.
Speaker 1:But I mean, you could quite literally do that with every bulletin, every transcript. You name it and you could put it at the beginning of a course and you could clear all of those words ahead of time, before they even read it, before they even read it. That's a fantastic idea. Yeah, so that is what method eight word clearing does. Is it makes you super literate on whatever the subject is that you have a list A to Z. You clear every word once.
Speaker 1:And I'm just thinking about this, since we're talking about this, is that what could be done is, as you study up the left side of the Scientology grade chart, for example, let's say your first course is student hat. So you do method eight, or the primary rundown on all of the words in the lectures and all of the words on the course. You clear all those words on student hat. Now you're super literate on student hat. Now you move forward and you go on to pro TRs. So the words that have already been cleared on student hat that you're doing method eight would not be repeated on pro TRs. So the list would get shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter as you move up the training side Isn't that cool yeah.
Speaker 3:You can train the AI to do all that for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then we could place it on the check sheets for each course. So once you get to, well I mean, you know it's sort of a parabola, which is that you know it goes up, it's a hill, and then it peaks and then it comes down and you're looking up less and less and less and less words. The list gets shorter because you've already cleared these words on earlier courses through using method eight word clearing.
Speaker 2:Listen, if we put that into place in the college of independent Scientology, y'all better, y'all listen, get into college because that that would make you unstoppable, oh wow.
Speaker 1:Right, because before you ever read these things, these bulletins, listen to these tapes. Now of course you know I mean there's thorough and then there's thorough, that's. You know that's being thorough where you. But as time goes on, you're looking up less and less words by the time you get to class one or class two as an academy student on your auditor training levels, you're not going to be looking up that many words at the beginning of each course because you've already looked them up. That's a pretty darn cool way to go about things and you can do this with anything as long as the materials are good enough to train you in the first place. It doesn't necessarily just apply to Scientology. So that's the thing, like LL Rates says in the computer series. He says, you know, a computer is only as smart as the material that you give it to think with. Same goes for AI. That's true, but the thing is, you know, with the AIs that we have on the college and the main website, fin, and the Oracle slash Petal, our AI platforms, you can go in there and you can read a particular bulletin and you can tell it. Okay, give me all the words in this bulletin in alphabetical order. Give me all the words in this bulletin in alphabetical order Boom. Okay, now you've got it. Now give me the definitions for all of those words in this particular bulletin. Boom, you've got it. You can do this with anything outside of Scientology as well, as long as the source material is accurate. And well, you can think with it like Quentin was saying earlier. You can think with it like Quentin was saying earlier. So I hope this makes you think a little bit as to how wide sweeping this technology is is that you can look up the primary words of anything, as long as you have them in text. And if you've got a recording from a college professor, you can take that recording and you can pop it into the AI and then, well, chat like chat GPT, you can take that recording, it'll listen to it, make it a transcript, and then you can take from the transcript all the words in there and go oh, okay, this is what he said. Boom, look it up. How about that? As a college student, that's pretty bad-ass, right, yeah, so you can do it anywhere. So this leads us to the last and final method of word clearing, which is taught on student half.
Speaker 1:So method nine, word clearing, is a metered way of finding the words a person doesn't understand in a book or other written material and basically what you're doing is you're having them read it aloud to you and you follow along on your own copy of the materials At any time. When the person makes an error in what they're reading maybe they stumble or they pause or they sigh or whatever leaving out a word, changing the way the word sounds, whatever hesitations frowning, which you see a lot there's always going to be a misunderstood word there right before that. So you go back and say okay, that's it. Is there a concept of word or symbol? You didn't fully get in what you're reading? You go back, you find it, you clear it up and then you have them continue reading forward and anything that they stumble or pause on all that stuff we just mentioned, you go all the way through it until they can read it perfectly without stopping having any difficulties with it and it. It's phenomenal, the gains you can get from method nine word clearing. Uh, it's, there's.
Speaker 1:There's stuff that I did method nine with that I remember verbatim to this day, when I was an auditor in training, and it's as thorough as it can get because, like we were talking about in the podcast yesterday. These are objective phenomena. It's happening with the body and the thetan controlling it, so you can see all this stuff happening in the physical universe. It isn't well. What are they thinking? You know it's because it it manifests, and I see this all the time. All the time.
Speaker 1:And when you see somebody read something and they stumble, stop them, find out what they didn't understand and then, okay, what did you not understand about whatever it was that you read? Okay, you can do that in real life, in real time, every time there's a misunderstood word. So those are the nine methods of word clearing, and I wanted to bring up as well that these methods of word clearing can be done and are extremely easy to do, especially the metered ones. You can do them as a solo auditor. Once you go clear and you get trained as a solo auditor, you can word clear yourself while you're reading anything. Anything, whether it's Dianetics, scientology, you name it while you're reading it and if you get a read on the meter now you know you have a misunderstood word.
Speaker 2:How handy is that? Amazing, perfect. That's really cool. Yeah, that's really cool. You never have you never have to be.
Speaker 1:Uh, the adverse effect, right right, because you can monitor it. You know, in real time, while you're reading something on the internet, if you're trying to learn how to I don't learn some computer language or you're just trying to find something out about something you can get on the meter solo, hold the cans, get your can squeezed and then, as you're reading something, boom, there's a read Okay, what's the word? All right, let's look it up. Let's ask chat GPT, make sentences with it. Once you understand it, your needle floats, you move on, you keep reading and you can catch every single misunderstood word that you have in, whatever it is that you read.
Speaker 1:So, basically, clear your words is what it comes down to, and there are nine ways to clear all this stuff up. So I hope this illuminates our listeners to really use these methods. And you can find all the different methods of word clearing in the technical subject volume two of the 1991 technical volumes, which are available on our website in the multimedia library, and you can read about these and learn how to apply them yourself, just from a read it, drill it, do it type of a thing you can practice on a doll, using them as as as an alternate for a live person, so that you can do these types of word clearing with people. All of these types of word clearing are in the word clearing series, technical subject volume two, in the multimedia library on ao-gporg. Uh, we've never really gone in and done an in-depth type of a thing like this before with something like this, but it's short enough that we can do it in one podcast. So we figured well, why not?
Speaker 2:and then why not do it?
Speaker 1:yeah, and then we have this and then we can put it on our check sheets and stuff like that. As you know, added information bonus material to get a better understanding of this, because not all of these methods of word clearing uh are very clear to people, depending on what they have or haven't done in independent scientology and dianetics so there's two.
Speaker 2:There's two things that I think is really important to mention. Um number one ain't nobody else talking about this, okay?
Speaker 2:yes, like let's, let's be very clear there's no one else talking about this, especially to adults, especially to adults who may be struggling, who may be trying to figure out their way, their finances, their life, whatever. There's nobody talking about this. And when we think about literacy, when you think about literacy, the first thing that comes to mind is children. You don't think about adult illiteracy, right, and we don't think about, necessarily, how many adults in 2025 don't actually read much anymore, right, like this stuff is really really interesting to me and it's really, I think, important because nobody else is talking about this and the powers that be, whatever that means, and you go back and listen to some other podcasts on politics and on God and all this other stuff, but the powers that be would have you stay ignorant, would have you be stupid, and the stupider you are, the more ignorant you are, the less you know and the less you read and the whole bit, the less literate you are, the more they can control you. And the whole bit, the less literate you are, the more they can control you.
Speaker 2:I'm sitting here looking at this lecture by LRH called Stable, datum and Confusion and it's taken from October 6, 1955. And he says here we come to axiom 53. A stable datum is necessary for the alignment of data. That is axiom 53. A stable datum is necessary for the alignment of data. And he goes on to talk about how axioms these axioms are aligned, and data of comparable magnitude. He says, and we just see, simply in that order to bring. In order to bring order in any confusion, it is not necessary to stop the confusion. Catch this You're trying to bring order to any that we can relate to, that, the action of the second particle, so that we can relate these two to actions of the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, one hundredth, millionth, and we wouldn't have a confusion anymore of any kind, would we? I think this is huge, that in order to try to bring order to any confusion, it's not necessary to stop all confusions, right? All you have to do is clear a word Just one particle, right?
Speaker 1:One less confusion.
Speaker 2:There's one less confusion. There's one less confusion and you clear that in connection with the second thing and the third. And until you have no, he says it this way and we would have no, I'm sorry we wouldn't have confusion anymore of any kind. I think that's huge in our society, in our life, to to be able to live life as an independent scientologist and not have any confusion any more of any kind. I like that.
Speaker 1:Nobody's talking like this anywhere else right, and how anybody can criticize something that obvious is is is really beyond me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're and they're trying to, and they're trying to keep you from knowing. They're trying to keep you ignorant. The scientology is knowing how to know. This is this, is this right here? Y'all might not think this is a big podcast. You know clearing words and word clearing and all stuff. Okay, but listen, this is Scientology. This is why independent Scientology is what it is, because we want to make sure you know how to know and we want to make sure that you can go through life without having any confusion anymore of any kind, and and, by god, we can do it yeah, well, and you know that that goes back to you know the?
Speaker 1:the only way to control somebody is to lie to them. If you, if you baffle them with a misunderstood word, what are you doing? You're lying, and so right.
Speaker 1:You know that's so true I mean that kind of goes back to uh ray bradburybury's Fahrenheit 451 and that they were burning all of the books. Why would you burn the books? Because you're trying to prevent true data with false data. You don't want to give anybody any ideas. I mean, even the church has done that with Behold the Pale Horse and Gods of Eden. They said you can't read this. I mean, you know and that's that's. That's a no data situation.
Speaker 1:Lrh says you know there is no hidden data line, but you have to be aware of that, just as a side thing. And an end note is you know if somebody's trying to hide data from you, they're trying to hide knowledge from you and you can't be the adverse effect if you understand it. So you need to know that information and get that information for yourself at the appropriate gradient, as applies to you know we talked about OT levels and not looking at upper level material until you're ready for it and that type of a thing. But it comes to anything else. If you don't understand how banks work, how the Federal Reserve works, how taxes work, what taxes are, what this is really going on, you're being baffled with bullshit and not being dazzled with brilliance because they don't want you to understand it. That's how lawyers stay employed, that's right.
Speaker 3:It's a whole different dictionary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a whole different dictionary and this has been done through the ages. It's a whole different dictionary. Yeah, it's, it's a whole different dictionary and that and this has been done through the ages. Now, with chat, gpt, claude, gemini, meta, to a degree you can't trust them 100 on everything because they may not have the information or they may be told not to tell you. But I don't know. I've seen some pretty interesting things pop out of some of these, these, uh, ais, the gpts. So use those as your sources, but always, always, always, verify the sources. Get a second or third opinion, not just from right right.
Speaker 1:Make sure it's right. Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true right. That includes AI, so that's my advice.
Speaker 2:And I want to. My last word on this will be this LRH says in this same lecture, he mentions Axiom 53, which a stable data is necessary to the alignment of data. But he said, but if you go upstairs he said upstairs a couple of axioms. Axiom 51, where postulates and live communication, not being missed, which is matter in the space of time and being senior to missed, can accomplish change in missed without bringing about a persistence of mess. Thus auditing can occur. Catch this.
Speaker 2:He simplifies it in that lecture by saying it like this that in axiom 51, that the postulates and communications, as is messed Anything anywhere. That's a confusion that's going on in your life with postulates and communication, fusion. That's going on in your life. With postulates and communication, you can knock out mess. You can knock out that thing, and this is true of your body, this is true of your space, this is true of your life. You can deal with things with better communication, better use of communication and postulates. You can deal with things, for the first time ever really, with a knowingness of how to do it Right. So postures and live communication can, as is miss, right. I think it's powerful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you don't understand something, you're going to be the adverse effect of it and making postulates and all that stuff. You know I mean it's spells. You know your postulates are for lack of a better word. You know I mean in the old sense by derivation of the word spells. You're putting it out there, you're saying here it is. But if you don't understand it you don't have ARC, affinity, reality and communication. You don't have understanding. So make sure you clear up your words, arthur. You have anything in closing?
Speaker 3:Well, I'm just playing with AI at the moment and so, because I'm doing the pro TRs, I'm actually going through and there's 255 words just in the training drills document. This thing is cool. This is really really cool, Isn't?
Speaker 1:that something that you could do method eight word clearing on the TRs, the TRs, remodernize, bullet and clear every one of those words, and that would summarily handle any difficulties that you had.
Speaker 1:Doing TRs and AI could give you all the definitions and everything, like we said, with that one bulletin. So use AI, especially with word clearing and everything. This isn't something that existed in LRH's day and if we think about the things that we can do to speed up our knowing how to know and having a conceptual understanding of it, I mean it just blows anything else out there away, because once you get it, you have it. Okay, that's right. That's part of your beingness, because you have a conceptual understanding and we beat the, we beat, be do have all the time. So use this tech and you shall go free because you will have the tools that you need to make your life and lives around you far, far, far, far better than they ever have been before. So for Arthur and Quentin, we'll see you in our next podcast, likely going to do another one tomorrow. What was it? We were going to do it on?
Speaker 2:We're going to talk about, was it? Yes, courts, the courts. Yeah, I already see that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that'll be a fun one. So make sure you get in contact with us about our our new specials this month, for the month of September, and we will fill you in on that. You can get on Finn on the AI in the bottom right-hand corner of a Ohio hyphen gporg, the college of independent Scientologycom and talk to Finn and we will get in touch with you and let you know what our specials are for the month. So take care and we'll see you very, very shortly, namaste, and we love you. Bye-bye, bye-bye, namaste, and we love you, thank you.
Speaker 2:Thanks for watching.
