to Org C/Ses who are Clear or above
and AOs ISSUE IV
REVISED 2 OCTOBER 1980


(This Bulletin has been revised to restate the most accurate definition of the State of Clear as given originally in Book One, Chapter II of ”Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health”; to clarify and emphasize the Clear cognition; to update the bulletin in regard to the mandatory use of Dianetic Clear Special Intensive for verification and rehabilitation of the State when a person has gone Clear before doing the Clearing Course, and to give the data on programming of a Dianetic Clear for further auditing.)

THE STATE OF CLEAR

(Ref: HCOB 24 Sep 78R III DIANETIC CLEAR
HCOB 25 Jun 70RB II C/S Series 12RB
HCOB 2 May 79 I DIANETIC CLEAR SPECIAL INTENSIVE
HCOB 2 May 79 II DIANETIC CLEAR SPECIAL INTENSIVE ASSESSMENT LIST.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The distribution of this confidential HCOB is limited to AOs and C/Ses in Saint Hills and Class IV Orgs who are Clear or above, with the following stipulations:
1. A C/S, Clear or above, in an AO, Saint Hill or Class IV Org is held full responsible for maintaining the security of this confidential HCOB and the material it contains.
2. The HCOB is to be kept securely under lock and key as Confidential Advance Course Material.
3. The confidential data herein is not to be divulged, verbally or otherwise to anyone . . . . it is also not to be copied or reproduced.
4. Feeding the Clear cognition to any individual, or violation of any of the above, is a Comm-Evable offense.
If a mission or Field Auditor believes one of their pcs to have gone Clear, they will send the pc and his folders to their closest org which has a C/S who is Clear, for a full Dianetic Clear Special Intensive.
The following definition of Clear is non-confidential and may be (and has been) used in promo or other publications given Issue Authority for release.

DEFINITION OF A CLEAR: A BEING WHO IS UNREPRESSED AND SELF DETERMINED.


CONFIDENTIAL DATA

A Clear has lost or erased the matter, energy, space and time connected to the thing called MIND. He has been cleared of the MASS, PICTURES, etc. in the bank or mind. It is a negative gain.

CLEAR COGNITION: CLEAR OCCURS WHEN ONE STOPS MOCKING UP BANK, OR REALIZES THAT HE IS MOCKING IT UP OR HAS BEEN MOCKING IT UP. THAT IS THE CLEAR COGNITION: THE REALIZATION THAT HE IS OR HAS BEEN MOCKING UP THE MASS AND PICTURES, ETC., THAT MAKE UP THE BANK.

When the person arrives at this realization he can then, of course, cease mocking up bank.
A Clear has perhaps not entirely lost the automaticity of mocking up mass. But at least he knows he’s putting it there and practice increases his general reality.
The person who has actually gone Clear will express the Clear Cognition, or some version of it, upon going Clear or at some point on the Dianetic Clear Special Intensive. He must have expressed this in some way for the C/S to know he has in fact gone Clear and before being permitted to attest.
The State of Clear can be achieved prior to doing the Clearing Course. It can occur on Dianetic auditing, especially New Era Dianetics. Sometimes it has occurred on Goals Processing, and even on Objective Processes.
It is not, however, attained by feeding people cognition’s. Clears are made through auditing.

Non-Confidential Verifying and Declaring the State of Clear

When the individual, before doing the Clearing Course, thinks he is or might be Clear, or when he has read on a correction list (such as a C/S 53, Green Form, etc.) as having gone Clear, he must be given the Dianetic Clear Special Intensive to verify the State and rehabilitate it , if valid.
When the steps of the Dianetic Clear Special Intensive have been thoroughly done to full End Phenomena and a full resurgence of the State, the person may be sent to attest to the State of Clear. (Ref: HCOB 2 May 79, Iss I, DIANETIC CLEAR SPECIAL INTENSIVE.)
335 The state of Clear must be acknowledged and declared when it has been validly attained and verified.

Programming The Dianetic Clear For Further Auditing

A Dianetic Clear must not be run on engrams, R3RA or any version of R3R or Dianetics.
A Dianetic Clear does the Purification Rundown and the Survival Rundown if he has not had these. He is given the Scientology Drug Rundown (unless he has already completed a full NED Drug Rundown or other Dianetic Drug Rundown). He is run on Expanded ARC Straightwire and Expanded Grades 0 - IV to full ability gained for each Grade not previously standardly declared. (NOTE: He would not be run on the R3RA section of the Service Fac handling on Grade IV, however.)
He can be given Touch Assists or Contact Assists (as can Clears and OTs) but not a Dianetic Auditing Assist nor any Dianetic Auditing.
When each Grade has been handled to Ability Gained, the next step is the Solo Auditor Course at a Saint Hill or an Advanced Org.
A Dianetic Clear is not run on Power, R6EW or the Clearing Course, but, upon completion of the Solo Auditor Course, goes directly onto OT 1.
This HCOB is issued to Org C/Ses who are themselves Clear or above as the Clear cognition cannot be issued broadly and must not be fed to a pc, which is a Comm-Evable offense. Clears are made through auditing, not by feeding EPs or cognition’s to pcs. This is important as someone who has not made Clear will not make it on OT levels.
Org C/Ses who are Clear or above, however, will need to be able to recognize the State of Clear when it occurs on Dianetics or otherwise, to ensure (using the steps of the Dianetic Clear Special Intensive) that the State is real and to declare any such pc .Clear when the State has been truly attained.
Once declared, the person’s pc folders must be clearly marked ”DIANETIC CLEAR”, for security and for purposes of further programming.
The individual is then issued the Standard Clear Certificate by Certs and Awards, which states simply that he has attained the State of Clear. This Standard Certificate bears no qualifying statement of the State.
Once the person has attested to Clear he may then be C/Sed for further auditing, per the programming data above.
I am entrusting Clear C/Ses with the responsibility of ensuring that the Confidential data herein is kept secure, so that each and every individual may honestly male it to Clear and go OT.
