The Minus Grade Chart

The Minus Grades are listed from bottom to top. One goes over each by oneself or with a friend (a good idea).

To erase your problem you first talk about it. Thus we have Verbal Tech Release, Minus Grade Zero.

After you talk about it, you have a problem. What is Ethics ((The “Ethics” division handles people who, for some reason, don’t conform to the rules.)) going to do? Thus we have Minus Grade One, Ethics Release. Now you can attack — but what, and how?

Viewpoints are constrained by overts ((An “overt” is an action detrimental to oneself or others.)) such as being on staff. So we have Minus Grade Two, Viewpoint Release.

You now have freedom of ideas. You have felt this confusion before, and the Stable Datum was the Org ((The term “org” is short for a Scientology organization.)). They would keep it until you figured it out. So, releasing the fear of change, there is Minus Grade Three, Org Release.

Rebellion against Orgs has occurred before. However, the computation is then, “Ron plus you equals O.T. ((Operating Thetan))” From here, a fountainhead of Service Facsimiles ((Mental constructs that one uses to make oneself right and others wrong.)) issues forth, making auditors, people, scholars, etc. wrong. So we have LRH ((L. Ron Hubbard)) Release as Minus Grade Four.

But if Ron is — as Ron is — how is one to get auditing? So we have Minus Grade Five, Auditing Release.

A week, or a year, without auditing, okay, but what about the eventual future? Thus the crowning Minus Grade, Six, Bridge Release.

Each Grade is listed with a Public EP ((The “end phenomenon” or ultimate result of a process.)) and a Confidential EP. You are welcome to both. The Public EP is easier to talk about to those who don’t have it. The Confidential EP is the way you can only see it when you’ve got it.
