My legal counsel suggested I remove any conceivably offending direct
quotations from this message.  I've done so, putting paraphrases in
[[double brackets]].  I still claim the original one was legal, but I
wish to avoid litigation.

Please note the "Supercedes:" header, which will cause the previous
message to be automatically replaced with this one, thereby effectively
removing it.  -- Taneli Huuskonen

This is a summary of parts of HCO Bulletin of 15 September 1978, Issue I,
which is the first issue of the NED for OTs series.  I've tried to
contain my own comments in [brackets], and direct quotations from the
original [[have been removed, but the original ones were]] enclosed in
"double quote marks".

The EP (End Phenomenon, or the desired outcome, which will indicate that
the process has been successfully finished) of NOTS is [[BLEEP]].
NOTS 1 explains the theory behind it and contains some
previously unpublished data about OT III.

When a Clear or above is given Dianetic auditing, there will be
problems, as the pc's Body Thetans will start supplying false "earlier
similar" incidents when the pc is asked for one, if there are none in
the pc's own Reactive Mind.  The BT's respond to the pc's thoughts in a
totally automatic way, and conversely, the pc can "see" the Body
Thetans' Mental Image Pictures just fine, as if the BT's were the pc
him/herself.  [A wog could even fail to see what difference the whole
process of Clearing makes, if you're freed from your own Reactive Mind
only to have your Body Thetans' Reactive Minds affect you just the same.
However, not realizing the difference between yourself and your various
BT's causes chaos, according to Ron.]

                         _SOMATICS_

There can be BT's that have somatics (bodily pains and disorders) of
their own, but are attached to different body parts.  For instance, a BT
can have a pain in the ear and be attached to your forehead.  So, you'll
feel a pain in your forehead but somehow [telepathically, I presume]
know it's a pain in someone's ear.  As Ron puts it, [[it's quite
confusing]].


                    _MENTAL TRANSMISSION_

If two thetans are actually touching each other [hey, since when did a
thetan occupy space in the MEST universe?], it helps them communicate
telepathically.  They can even reach out over a considerable distance to
do this.  For example, when [[two well brainwashed OT's concentrate on
the same part of a wall in front of them, they'll feel like there's
something buzzing there, not at a single point but in an area clearly
larger than a poodle.]]

This phenomenon is what's used to make BT's blow.  But there's a caveat:

[[Some BT's can be connected to the body by some kind of strings or
beams, even though they appear to have blown.]]

[fast forward...]

                           _MEMORY_

[wow, now we learn why a Clear doesn't _appear_ to have a perfect
memory, although (s)he actually has, of course -- Ron said so.]

[[Even a Clear or OT won't necessarily be able to remember perfectly.]]
The Clear is supposed to remember something, and the Body Thetans mess
things up by supplying their more or less accurate pictures instead of
the real ones.  Remember, the BT's are _very_ aberrated beings.
[[A BT may not be able to tell Oxford from Arcturus, so a Clear, despite
her/his perfect memory, may get a BT's pictures instead of remembering
Oxford correctly and get things really mixed up.]]


                 _DORMANT BTs AND CLUSTERS_

The BT's you're dealing with on the NOTS course are dormant, that is,
in a very low state of consciousness, [[dead or even lower.]]  Beware:
[[That fate awaits FBI agents and others antagonistic to Scientology,
unless they are there already.]] Spending your next trillion years in
that state, not really dead but hoping you are, won't be much fun.

This peculiar way of existing explains the need for NOTs, in fact:
[[At the end of OT III, one is supposedly freed of all BT's.  However,
Ron already hinted in an "Axiom" of Scientology that he mightn't be
quite serious when he says "all" or "none whatsoever" or something
like that.]] However, there aren't as many BT's hanging around here
and landing on new bodies as one might think, despite the fact that this
universe is [[infested with such critters.  And the Earth is the worst
spot of all.]] [Very encouraging, eh?]

On NOTS, you handle the BT's that need to be stirred awake before you
can communicate with them, unlike the easy ones you got rid on OT III.
Despite their dormant state, they can still cause problems, just like
the earlier ones.  [Why do I feel an urge to word-clear "bait and
switch"?  Must be my Reactive Mind...]
