Definitions

OT III 
Hubbard says, “Before the beginning of time, thetans existed, separate from one another.”  The level of OT III explains the philosophy of Scientology on which its therapy is based. The fundamental postulate of Scientology is “individuality,” which is referred to  as thetan.

Hubbard postulated further that, the key characteristic of individuality is to control its environment. Since individualities exist in each other’s environment, it is postulated that there is contest among individualities rather than cooperation. Thus, early on the track, thetans implant each other to reduce their capabilities. They are reduced so much that we find thousands of them attached to a single body. A body thetan acts like an implanted thinking circuit. This is how aberrations have come about.

OT III seeks to return the thetan’s power by stripping away implants; so, the thetan can act independently of the physical body, and cause a physical event to occur through sheer force of will. But according to the OT III theory, once the thetans are free, the implanting cycle is bound to occur again. This theory is depressing indeed. It is better to ignore the postulates of this theory and just focus on the therapeutic aspects of it to see where it takes us.

OPERATING THETAN (OT)
Apparently, a person is an operating thetan when he operates unrestricted by the consideration of the body. This is interpreted to mean that the person can operate without a body. This is further interpreted to mean that a person is immortal. Therefore, the goal in Scientology is to achieve immortality for one’s individuality. 

According to Subject Clearing, a person is an operating thetan when he no longer has any unassimilated impressions. His postulates and considerations are totally aligned with the natural laws governing thought, energy and matter. He has resolved the anomalies to do with his beingness, and he operates without effort as one with his body and the universe. He is able to pervade the whole universe and resolve anomalies actively as he comes across them. The goal in Subject Clearing is the continual resolution of anomalies to see where it takes us. Please see The Definition of OPERATING THETAN.

BODY THETAN (BT)
Hubbard says, ”One’s body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body. One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small. Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary error. Good luck.” Essentially, a body thetan (BT) is a thetan stripped of all its capabilities and reduced to its most pathetic state.

According to Subject Clearing, BTs are misconceptions or postulated anomalies that have become part of a person’s beingness. Examples of BTs are “blind spots” like fixed ideas, false beliefs, biases, and prejudices. A specific blind spot could be a hidden consideration that one is superior to others. Such blind spots distort the person’s viewpoint and he can see neither the present nor the past as it is. Please see The Definition of BODY THETAN.

MISCONCEPTION
A misconception, or a postulated anomaly, lies at the bottom of a facsimile. For example, in the midst of a car accident a person may postulate, “I am a bad driver,” or “I cannot drive a car.” It may just be a minor accident, but the postulate is made and then forgotten. It gets buried so deep that it affects the very viewpoint of the person. After, such an incident, this person’s driving gets worse and worse. He even gets into a fatal accident, which forms the actual engram and buries his postulate even further. When the engram is run, this postulate is never discovered. On OT Levels, one is directly handling such postulates or misconceptions. Hubbard called them Body thetans (BTs).

R6 IMPLANT
With respect to the misconceptions implanted deep into the psyche, Hubbard says, “The pictures contain God, the Devil, angels, space opera, theaters, helicopters, a constant spinning, a spinning dancer, trains and various scenes very like modern England. You name it, it’s in this implant we call in its entirety R6.” Apparently, a lot of force is connected with R6 implant. So, when any part of this implant is resolved, it brings about a sudden release of energy, akin to an explosion. Simple recalls are not adequate to resolve this implant. It can only be resolved using an appropriate gradient.

INCIDENT II
This is an incident run on OT III, which is akin to the description of “the fall of Man” in Abrahamic Religions. The sequences in Incident II may be described briefly as follows, “H-bomb dropped on volcano… explosion… terrific winds… thetan carried over peak… electronic ribbon came up… he stuck to it… it was then pulled down and he was (as part of a group) implanted with R6… picture of pilot saying he is mocking it up.” 

Hubbard presents Incident II as something that occurred 75,000,000 years ago. It plays out like a science fiction story, “The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 95,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there “packaged”. His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants. When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. “They” are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered.”

In Incident II, the thetans were given 36 days of implanting, to render them servile and incapable of decision.The implants include the Clearing Course and OT II materials.

MOCK UP
The Incident II includes a picture of pilot saying he is mocking it up. This is Hubbard’s way of saying that all these human aberrations exist because the person is postulating them unconsciously. In other words, underlying all misconceptions are postulates. Postulates mock up a person’s beingness too. According to Hubbard, the source of postulates is the thetan, where the beingness of the thetan itself is made up of postulates. Basically, the thetan is mocking himself up. This amounts to Scientology using circular logic in place of the linear concept of Unknowable.

INCIDENT I
The Incident I is run after Incident II because it is earlier. The sequences in Incident I may be described briefly as follows, “Loud snap… waves of light… chariot comes out, turns right and left… cherub comes out… blows horn, comes close… shattering series of snaps… cherub fades back (retreats)… blackness dumped on thetan…”

Hubbard presents Incident I as something that occurred 4 quadrillion years ago. According to the Abrahamic religions, a cherub is one of the unearthly beings who directly attend to God. The numerous depictions of cherubim assign to them many different roles, such as protecting the entrance of the Garden of Eden. The above is probably the imagery of God and the universe emerging together. It could also be the reaching out and withdrawing of attention. It is an interesting code to decipher. This appears to be the absolute beginning. There is no awareness before this.

OT III RUNNING

  1. A body thetan (BT) is located as a point of sensation (mass, pressure or feeling) on the surface of the body, inside the body, or in the environment around the body. 
  2. If the sensation is spread out and diffused it represents a cluster of BTs. It needs to be broken up into sharper points of sensation (BTs). This is like breaking up the sensation into perceptual elements.
  3. Individual BTs are then audited one at a time by putting attention on a point of sensation and mentally moving through the Incident II and then Incident I.
  4. As you do this, implanted misconceptions from R6, Clearing Course, and OT II materials come up. These are like anomalies that do not make sense.
  5. You look at the misconceptions more closely until the specific point of sensation clears up.

OT III CAUTION
Hubbard says about OT III Incidents, “The implant is calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc.) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development. One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The “freewheel” (auto-running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a time.

The information about Incident II isn’t going to make you sick or kill you. You can read about it all you want; but this incident cannot be run as a narrative. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN IT BY STRAIGHT MEMORY.

OT III COMMENTS
On OT III people are led by their desire to be completely exterior with full perceptions. These are misstated goals. The original goal from Dianetics is to get rid of all engrams. A similar goal from Buddhism is to assimilate all unassimilated impressions. Subject Clearing puts one back on the original goal.

    What does the term “LDN” stand for or mean when mentioned in the New OT IV materials?

    • vinaire's avatar vinaire  On September 7, 2025 at 8:44 AM

      I didn’t find LRH defining “LDN” anywhere. It appears in the title “LDN OT III RB” in the context of NOTs. From the context it appears that “LDN” was constructed as follows:

      L = abbreviation for LIST

      DN = abbreviation for Dianetics

    Hi: Really find you information very interesting.

    I am interested in the Scientology links regarding auditing of the OT levels particularly OT I, II and III.

    I was recently reading about it on one of your links that was sent over to me but it didn’t save.

    Within that link it was basically saying how to ‘quickly’ audit the BT’s and then move on to the next BT not spending a lot of time auditing them them out. Otherwise – as you have mentioned in the link – it could take a very long time.

    The link that I am referring to also stated to speak with Care when addressing each BT.

    Can you help me with what I am referring to?

    Thank you.
