The Misconception
A misconception is an erroneous idea, or a mistaken notion, such as, “the sun goes around the earth.” The deeper and broader is a misconception, the wider is its influence in the society. It appears natural because everybody appears to think that way.
2600 years ago, Buddha discovered, “The Absolute Truth is that there is nothing absolute in the world, that everything is relative, conditioned and impermanent, and that there is no unchanging, everlasting, absolute substance like Self, Soul, or Ātman within or without.” Yet, the majority of the people in the world still believe that, even though their body will die, their soul will live forever.
Misconceptions form the subtlest layer that underlies the layers of misjudgments and engrams. As an individual becomes aware of his misconceptions and resolves them, it becomes easier for him to recognize his misjudgments and resolve them too. As he keeps on doing so, one day he may come face to face with his birth engram and discharge it. Other engrams, if they exist, may then follow.
The process of Subject Clearing examines the concepts in any subject starting from the broadest and most fundamental concepts. When this process is applied to the subject of existence the problem of beingness starts to resolve rapidly.

Comments
The misconceptions are supposed to be handled on the OT levels of Scientology. But the research on OT levels was left incomplete by Hubbard. The Word Clearing in Scientology cannot handle misconceptions that are buried in the definitions.
