BASIC INDIVIDUAL

1. the basic individual is not a buried unknown or a different person, but an intensity of all that is best and most able in the person. The basic individual equals the same person minus his pain and dramatizations. (DTOT, pp. 36-37)2. basic individual and Clear are nearly synonymous since they denote the unaberrated self in complete integration and in a state of highest possible rationality. A Clear is one who has become the basic individual through auditing. (DTOT, p. 34) See also CLEAR.
