ALLY

A person who sympathized with or appeared to aid the survival of an individual when he or she was ill, injured or unconscious, and whom the individual now reactively regards as necessary to his or her continued existence and well-being.

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

Usage

A person who was kind to an individual during a time of illness or injury can become an ally, meaning the individual now reactively feels that person is essential to their survival. This can lead to irrational dependency where the person cannot make decisions without their ally's approval.

Why It Matters

The ally computation is important in auditing because it reveals hidden reactive attachments that can control a person's behavior and relationships. Addressing ally relationships in processing frees the individual from compulsive dependencies they are unaware of.

Related Concepts

REACTIVE — Irrational, reacting instead of acting- behavior dictated by the Reactive Mind rather than the individual's own present-time determinism.
