E
ED,
1. Executive Director, the chief officer of a Scientology organization. 2. Executive Directive, an issue type; EDs may be written by Executive Directors at the local level. L. Ron Hubbard EDs were written by L. Ron Hubbard himself.
ED INT,
Executive Director International, the head of the Exec Strata, currently Guillaume Lesevre. This is not the head of the cult, despite the title; the head honcho is David Miscavige. The ED INT can be written to at: Executive Director International, 4833 Fountain Avenue Los Angeles, California, 90027. There are also message boxes for the ED INT in each org. He replies, too, or someone does in his name. This is the SO-1 line (qv) now that Hubbard is dead.
E-Meter,
or Meter, electrometer or electropsychometer. A crude battery -powered analog ohmmeter used to locate Overts (undisclosed acts), Body Thetans (evil spirits), and Engrams (moments of pain and unconsciousness). The PC or patient holds the soup-cans electrodes, while the Auditor or Scientology therapist watches the needle on the dial. Circuitry is based on the Wheatstone Bridge. The meter was designed by Volney Mathieson. Current "top of the line" models sell for about $4,000 US in a plastic case. Actual parts list is about $50-$100, making it a good money earner for Scientology, particularly since every auditor is required to own two in case one breaks down.
End Words,
words that act like mental locks to keep the reactive mind, the chain of memory incidents of a harmful nature, keyed-in or in an active state.
Engram,
a posited memory trace that remains after a moment of pain and unconsciousness. Hubbard didn't coin this word; it can be found in Webster's, and is part of the ISV, the International Scientific Vocabulary.
Entheta,
enturbulated theta. Bad Vibes. "This Usenet newsgroup is so full of entheta that it is restimulating my bank."
Enturbulated,
Hubbardese for being upset. "Suzy found ars so enturbulating, she ran away."
EOC,
1. End of Cycle, the end of a cycle of action (start, change, stop.) 2. Suicide. "After your mission to infiltrate the FBI, do an EOC to prevent leaks."
EP,
End Phenomenon. The result of a Scientology processing action. "The EP for OT 15 is cause over the universe."
EPF,
Estates Project Force, where new recruits are first placed so that they may receive indoctrination into the Sea Org echelons of the cult and prove themselves worthy of being into the Sea Org. Per policy, all recruits must finish a course called "Product Zero" and a 7A Security Check.
Ethics,
a section of a Scientology Org (organization) that keeps people in line, and the Hubbardian policy that deals with it. "Keep your nose clean, or I'll route you to Ethics, Mr.!"
EUS,
Eastern US. See CLO.
Evil Purpose,
an implanted evil goal given to us millions or billions or trillions of years ago in Implant stations (there is one on Mars, you'll be interested to know) and still influencing our everyday lives, according to Hubbard.
Exec Strata,
see Senior Exec Strata.
Exit counseling,
an ethical method of recovering people from destructive cults, involving talking and giving out information in a non-coercive manner. "Combatting Cult Mind Control" by Steve Hassan best exemplifies the methodology. Compare Deprogramming.
Ex-Scientologist,
a former member of the Scientology cult who has left and has gained a greater understanding of what was done to them in Hubbard's brainwashing machine, and who has a desire to see the hidden truth behind Scientology's carefully constructed PR facade exposed to the public. Most Ex-Scientologists do this for the public interest, despite personal risk of harassment and groundless defamation lawsuits from Scientology's Office of Special Affairs department and its small army of lawyers, agents, and PIs. We have little or nothing to gain by going public with what we know about the cult from the inside, and some of us will pay dearly for our devotion to the truth. We were lied to and ripped off by L. Ron Hubbard, in both a spiritual and monetary sense, and we don't want to see anyone else manipulated the way we were. Scientology has in many ways destroyed our lives; we would be less than human to stand idly by and watch as more "raw meat" public are ripped to shreds in Scientology's money-making mill.
Exteriorize,
to leave the body. Scientologists believe we can step outside our bodies in the form of a disembodied "Thetan" or spirit, and hover about looking at things. This is deemed to be a very important goal of every Scientologist, usually only obtained at the highest "OT level." OT VIIs and VIIIs who have left the cult claim it is an induced hallucination. "Exteriorization is the goal of the End of Endless Int Rundown." See "Interiorization."
