EXTERIORIZATION
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
When a person exteriorizes during auditing, the thetan moves outside the body, and the individual achieves a direct certainty that they are themselves — a spiritual being — and not their body. This experience is distinct from any intellectual understanding of the concept.
Why It Matters
Exteriorization is a significant milestone in auditing because it provides the individual with personal certainty of their existence as a thetan separate from the body. This realization fundamentally shifts a person's understanding of their own nature and spiritual identity.
