BLACK FIVES

heavily occluded cases characterized by mental pictures consisting o f masses of blackness. The term black five came from application of an auditing procedure wherein the auditor tested the preclear at each step of the process to find a step the preclear could do and began processing at that step. A preclear who had to be started at Step V of the process was called a "Case V." This level of case could not get mock-ups but only blackness. See also blackness and mock up in this glossary. For more information, see the book The Creation of Human Ability by L. Ron Hubbard. —Freedom Congress Glossary (Final approval 5-9-90)
