Processing is the application of a procedure to bring about an improvement in a person’s condition. In Subject Clearing, the processes have been obtained from the study of Vedic Hinduism, Buddhism, Psychoanalysis and Scientology.
In Subject Clearing, you can always go back to a previously applied process and run it again.

Process
This Subject Clearing process explores the subject of thought.
PREREQUISITE: Subject Clearing Mind
Look up these words in this sequence per the definitions given below.
LOGIC, PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS, ANOMALY, OUT-POINT, IDEAL SCENE, FIXED IDEA, PERSONAL IDEAL, OPERATIONAL, FACT, OPINION, STATISTICS, EXISTING SCENE, OBSERVATION, SITUATION ANALYSIS, SITUATION, DATA, WHY, HANDLING.
As you look up a definition, ask yourself,
“What crosses my mind as I look up this definition?”
Notice the internal reaction. Apply The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness to that reaction. If there is a disagreement, or you sense some anomaly, then address it with Subject Clearing Viewpoint.
You may consult dictionaries, Wikipedia, Textbooks, etc., to sort out the disagreement or anomaly present. Contemplate on these words until you are fully satisfied with your understanding.

Definitions
LOGIC
Origin: “Of speech or reason.” The continuity, consistency and harmony in the dimension of thought provides the sense of logic. Logic is a study of associations. Associations are logical when they can be assimilated into a consistent whole. The mind naturally follows logic unless interfered with. Logic may be reduced to a system or principles of reasoning. The ideal scene of Logic is represented by the Principle of Oneness.
PRINCIPLE OF ONENESS
Oneness does not imply sameness. Oneness means that all that is known is continuous, consistent and harmonious. There are dimensions in Oneness, where continuity exists. There are realities in Oneness, where consistency exists. There are relations in Oneness, where harmony exists. This Principle of Oneness underlies the very concept of the universe. It also underlies the Scientific method. This principle gives us the ideal scene for logic, and its violation gives us anomalies.
ANOMALY
An ANOMALY is any violation of the Principle of Oneness, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data). An anomaly is always viewed from one’s viewpoint. Resolution of anomaly always expand’s the knowingness of one’s viewpoint.
OUT-POINT
An out-point is the Scientology version of an anomaly. It is defined as an illogical departure from the ideal scene. By comparing the existing scene with the ideal scene one easily sees the out-points. Hubbard categorizes these out-points as follows:
- Omit a fact.
- Change sequence of events.
- Drop out time.
- Add a falsehood.
- Alter importance.
IDEAL SCENE
In Scientology, the entire concept of an ideal scene for any activity is really a clean statement of its purpose. From the viewpoint of Subject Clearing, that purpose must not violate the Principle of Oneness. From that purpose one then constructs an ideal organization to carry out the activity.
FIXED IDEA
A fixed idea is an idea held in the mind that influences perception in a certain way. Prejudiced people are suffering mainly from a fixed idea. A fixed idea is not examined by the person holding it. It blocks the existence of any contrary observation. Fixed ideas are held as personal ideals. An example of a fixed idea is, “Life is always like that.”
PERSONAL IDEAL
This is an ideal held by a person which is in violation of the Principle of Oneness. Departure from such an ideal is an error and not an out-point.
OPERATIONAL
An activity to be operational must contain parts of its ideal scene. The fact that something is actually operating and solvent can outweigh the untested advantages of changing it.
FACT
A fact is something consistent with what is observable; but it is true only to the degree that it is free of anomalies.
OPINION
An opinion is a belief or judgment that may or may not be based on facts; but it is likely influenced by personal ideals.
STATISTICS
A statistic is a numerical measure of the effect caused by an activity. It provides the most direct judgment of the activity as it bypasses the influence of varying opinions. The statistic is considered positive When the activity contributes positively to survival.
EXISTING SCENE
The existing scene is the broad general scene on which a body of current data exists. It is what is really there—the people or personnel, their current state, the lines, the hats, the buildings, equipment, and the state of them, the tech in use and current news.
OBSERVATION
Application of logic starts with the observation of the existing scene. The ability to observe things as they are requires the absence of fixed ideas, personal ideals and assumptions.
SITUATION ANALYSIS
We obtain an analysis of the situation by analyzing all the data we have and assigning the outpoint data to the areas or parts. The area having the most outpoints is the target for correction. A situation analysis only indicates the area that has to be closely inspected and handled.
SITUATION
A situation is a major departure from the ideal scene.It is a not expected state of affairs. It is either very good or it is very bad.
DATA
Data are facts, graphs, statements, decisions, actions, descriptions which are supposedly true. These are observations leading to investigation. From this data one traces the string of out-points to finally get the WHY.
WHY
The why is the major out-point that explains all other out-points related to a situation. It explains how come the situation is such a departure from the ideal scene. The real why opens the door to handling. The why must permit a closer approach to the ideal scene.
HANDLING
Just as you proceed to the SITUATION—go big, when it comes to handling it usually occurs that reverse is true—go small!
