(1) Where and when, exactly, did Dr. Hubbard get his Doctor of Science degree? Actually, even before he got his DS (or whatever it was), from which college/university did he graduate before he started working on his Master’s and Doctorate?
It’s always puzzled me that the education of every famous figure is almost invariably outlined in the

(2) What is the mass of an engram? Or, if it varies, what’s the average or mean mass of an engram? Do Basic engrams weigh more than plain ol’ everyday engrams, and, if so, by how much? Orders of magnitude, or what? And how does the Basic Basic stack up to that? I’ve been curious about that ever since Dr. Hubbard informed me in DMSMH that the mind is different from the brain, but mental constructs have mass. I can think of a couple of ways the mass of engrams might be measured–I’d be curious to learn how it was actually done. Which, Scientology being a science, I’m sure it was. After all, measuring the mass of engrams might give a reliable measure of how much charge was blown from a PC’s case.

(3)What unit is used to measure case charge and its relationship to case gain? Please correct my terminology if I’m not saying that right.

(4) What is the mathematical relationship between engrams and case charge?

(5) The only “definition” I ever saw of a Clear was in DMSMH–if I recall correctly, “Clear” was defined as a person with no engrams. But I don’t recall any “litmus test” to determine if a person were Clear or not, except that the Clear would have effortless total recall, a significantly increased IQ, and immunity to disease. I may not have that entirely right–it’s been decades since I read DMSMH.
So, my question is: Is there a concise definition of Clear and how do you test for one?

Oh, and related question:
(6) How many Clears have been confirmed so far, per that/those definition(s) and testing?

I have questions about OT also, but let’s handle Clear first. I’m not sure I could understand OT without first understanding Clear.

25 000 members pegged in the US (or was it worldwide?) in 2008. That’s seven years ago. I wonder what the count is now?

Hi Roger Hornaday, Thank you but you know my comments on validation always have included you and your amazing posts from the get go.Love,Ann.

Hi Ann, your validating comments are lovely to hear even when they’re directed to others.

Well, Len, you’re half right. It is science, but proper the name is science fiction! It’s all made up out of one man’s mind.

I choose psychotic for mine….

Yep, that’s an important one.

Completely, Carla!

Well, I’m certainly satisfied with that answer! As always, thanks, Espi!

Actually it was Jerry Mathers. But, since old Jim had that name, I went with it. I just couldn’t pass up an opportunity like that. So…let me say it one last time: And Jimmy Mathers as the Beaver. That puts a smile on my face!

And, Roger? I too, am worried about the Bev! We better have a talk with the Cleavers….
