ACCEPTANCE LEVEL

The degree of a person's willingness to accept people or things freely, monitored and determined by his consideration of the state or condition that those people or things must be in for him to be able to do so.

From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

Usage

A person with a low acceptance level might refuse to associate with anyone who does not meet very specific conditions, while a person with a high acceptance level freely accepts people and things as they are. An auditor might observe shifts in a preclear's acceptance level as processing progresses.

Why It Matters

Acceptance level reflects a person's willingness to engage with life and others, and is determined by the conditions the person requires before accepting something. Raising a person's acceptance level through processing increases their ability to interact freely with the world around them.
