CONTROL

The ability to start, change and stop things at one's own choice. (With processing a person is capable of controlling a wider and wider sphere of things.)

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

Usage

A person with good control can start, change, and stop things at their own choice — whether that is a conversation, a project, or a situation in life. Through processing, a person becomes capable of controlling a wider and wider sphere of things.

Why It Matters

Control is a fundamental ability that processing aims to improve. As a person gains greater control over their environment, their competence and effectiveness in life increase correspondingly.
