DEFINITION OF A CLEAR: A THETAN WHO CAN BE AT CAUSE KNOWINGLY AND
AT WILL OVER MENTAL MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE AND TIME.
In clearing you move the Being up to where he is cause over mental MEST. A Clear has erased
the matter, energy, space and time connected to the thing called MIND. He has been cleared of the
MASS, PICTURES etc. It is a negative gain.
Clear occurs when he stops mocking up bank, or realizes he is doing it.
A Clear has perhaps not entirely lost the automaticity of mocking up mass. But at least he
knows he is putting it there and practice increases his general reality.
A Clear may, at first, have a little trouble with thought. His “think” is quite powerful, and is
not influenced by a bank, but may be influenced by his own past postulates. Thus he may run into
difficulty with his own postulates in present time, his own past postulates and others present time
postulates, especially when he has two or more postulates or similar magnitude opposing each other.
At first his postulates will contain force, probably, and he may experience pain from these as a thetan.
A Clear will have considerable influence upon others around him. People whose ability to
confront is not very high will begin to fall to pieces in the presence of a Clear. One mechanism of
this is that the Clear tends to raise the people around him to a slightly higher level of confront, and
they begin to confront their own mind, and this really shakes them up. This is particularly so of an
S.P. who dares not look at his mind, because he knows that if he does he will go insane.
The E-Meter will read on a Clear on THOUGHT. It will read on postulate and assert. The
Clear’s “think” influences the body, thus causing the meter to read.
DEFINITION OF AN OPERATING THETAN: A THETAN WHO CAN BE AT CAUSE
KNOWINGLY AND AT WILL OVER THOUGHT, LIFE, MATTER, ENERGY, SPACE
AND TIME, SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE.
After Clear, we are starting to move into “ Cause over thought and life”.
In PART ONE of the O.T. Course the Clear uses the same materials as are used on the Clearing
Course, and runs any banks he did not complete before he went Clear. This activity is in the realm
of thought. But it is these banks which brought the being down the “dwindling spiral” and we must
be sure that they are never again going to have any effect on the Being. There are also positive gains
to be had from this activity. The being is becoming more at cause over thought. He is on his way
to Operating Thetan.
When a Clear moves up to cause over his own and other thought, life, Matter, Energy, Space
and Time, he is an Operating Thetan.
The width between wog and Clear is very great. The width between Clear and OT is a bit wider.
