INSANITY

1. (legal definition of) "the inability to tell right from wrong." (OODs 12 Mar 75) 2. evil purpose is the cause of insanity and that's caused by an R/S. The cause of insanity is not a "germ" that causes "mental illness" in somebody's brain. That is not the cause of insanity. It is not the second dynamic. It is not because someone was interfered with as a little child. It is not because one is fixated on panties. Insanity-pure, unadulterated insanity is an evil purpose. Now anybody's got some nasty purposes but the person who is really insane, really is riding that one, boy! They're nutty as fruit cakes and it doesn't matter how competent they are or how incompetent they are. (ESTO 10, 7203CO5 SO 11) 3. a refusal to allow others to be, do or have. Insanities have as their end product, self or group destruction. (HCO PL 14 Dec 70) 4. the overt or covert but always complex and continuous determination to harm or destroy. (HCOB 28 Nov 70) 5. the five primary Magics or out-points as we call them are of course the anatomy of insanity. (HCO PL 19 May 70) 6. insanity isn't an illness. It's an injury. When more injuries called "treatments" are piled on top of it, it becomes very hard to treat just because the person is now desperately injured. He hurts. His nerves as physical structures carry only hurt messages. So he is enturbulated. It's the same thing trying to-process a man in agony from a car injury and trying to process an "insane" person. You can't really get their attention until they cool down. (LRH ED 67 INT) 7. what is called "insanity" is actually a pain crazed condition. This would normally pass off. Brutality and injury to "treat" it only confirm it and we get an apparently "insane" person. Psychiatric treatment of a person not already in a weakened depressed condition would be bad but would not result in "insanity." A pain crazed person then so treated is very hard to fish out of the mess. (LRH ED 67 INT) 8. the actual point between where a person who is sane goes thereafter insane is a very precise point, and it's when he begins to stop something, and at that moment, he is insane. Now he is insane on that one subject at first, and then he can get another id6e fix6 and become insane on another subject, and you do get cumulative insanity, but there is no doubt of his insanity on that one subject. (6711C18 SO) 9. an insanity is just total unreasonability. (6711C18 SO)

1. the overt or covert but always complex and continuous determination to harm or destroy. (HCOB 28 Nov 70)2. insanity is most often the suppressed agony of actual physical illness and injury. (HCOB 2 Apr 69)3. the obsessive adaptation of a solution to the exclusion of all other solutions in the absence of a problem . ( SH Spec 27X, 6107C04)4. the inability to associate or differentiate properly. (Scn 8-8008, p. 44)5. insanity is an emotion which is brought about by the compulsion to reach and the inhibition not to reach or the compulsion not to reach and the inhibition to reach. (2ACC-18A, 5312CM08)6. the best definition of which I know would be: the person widely believes that the symbols are the things. (PDC 20)7. insanity is an individual assisting things which inhibit survival and destroying things which assist survival. (5109CM24A)8. if an individual is incapable of adjusting himself to his environment so as to get along with or obey or command his fellows, or, more importantly, if he is incapable of adjusting his environment, then he can be considered to be "insane." But it is a relative term. (DMSMH, p. 380)9. the point between where a person who is sane goes thereafter insane is very precise. It's the exact point at which he begins to stop something. At that moment he is insane. At first he is insane on that one subject; then he can get another idee fixe and become insane on another subject, thus getting cumulative insanity. But there is no doubt of his insanity on that one subject, something that he is trying to stop. (6711C18SO)10. insanity itself is simply must reack—can't reach, must withdraw—can't withdraw. (SH Spec 98, 6201C10)
