A=A=A
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
In auditing, A=A=A thinking is observed when a preclear irrationally identifies one person with another simply because both were present during a painful incident. For example, a preclear might react negatively to all red-haired people because one red-haired person was present during an injury.
Why It Matters
Understanding A=A=A is essential because it reveals how the reactive mind creates irrational associations that drive aberrated behavior. Resolving these false identifications in auditing restores the person's ability to perceive people and situations as they actually are.
