In Dianetics and Scientology , Clear is stated to be a condition in which a person is free of unwanted influences of past memories, unwanted emotions or painful traumas which are not present in real time. A person in this condition, then referred to as a "Clear", would be a person cleared of those negative influences. Such a person is said to be "at cause over" (in control of) their "mental energy" (their thoughts), and able to think clearly even when faced with the very situation which in earlier times caused them grave difficulty. L. Ron Hubbard took the word from the idea of an Adding Machine and clearing an adding machine of previous actions on it. Dianetics states that a person's consciousness is influenced by the involuntary responses of the reactive mind. Achieving the state of Clear signifies a person has overcome the reactive mind and is in complete command of their mind. According to Hubbard: :A Clear is a being who no longer has his own reactive mind, and therefore suffers none of the ill effects the reactive mind can cause. The Clear has no engrams which, when restimulated, throw out the correctness of his computations by entering hidden and false data. {Link without Title} Hubbard suggested that the Thetan (a person's Soul ) invents its own reactive mind, but is not Clear until realising this for oneself. THE STATE OF CLEAR In '''', L. Ron Hubbard , founder of Scientology , states that becoming Clear strengthens a person's native individuality and creativity and a Clear is free with his emotions. In '' The State Of Clear '', Hubbard defines clear as: :A Thetan who can be at cause knowingly and at will over mental matter, energy, space and time. In Clearing you move the being up to where he is at Cause over mental MEST . A clear has erased the matter, energy, space and time connected to the thing called MIND. He has been cleared of the MASS, PICTURES, etc. It is a negative gain. [... Clear occurs when one stops mocking up bank, or realizes he is doing it. Hubbard states that merely knowing what the cognition is does not have the effect of realising it for oneself: :Now, we've known for a long time that a thetan made up his own bank (reactive mind), but telling him so didn't get him over it. And we've just found out again that telling him so didn't get him over it, too. Even when he's almost Clear. We say, "Hey, you're mocking it up," and he'd say, "Hey, am I mocking it up? Yeah, I am mocking it up." And he'll go Clear — pshew! — and he goes off that bottom step that isn't there, you know? And he's got to go back on and finish it up the way he should. It's got to be his cognition. ''Saint Hill Special Briefing Course lecture # 434, 26 July 1966'' STEPS AFTER CLEAR After attaining the state of Clear, a person may go on to study the Operating Thetan levels, in which the ability to operate outside the body via exteriorization becomes commonplace. Beyond that comes "Cleared Theta Clear", which Hubbard describes this way: "A thetan who is completely rehabilitated and can do everything a thetan should do, such as move MEST and control others from a distance, or create his own universe; a person who is able to create his own universe or, living in the MEST universe is able to create illusions perceivable by others at will, to handle mest universe objects without mechanical means and to have and feel no need of bodies or even the MEST universe to keep himself and his friends interested in existence".
