INCIDENT
An experience, simple or complex, related by the same subject, location, perception or people that takes place in a short and finite time period such as minutes, hours or days; also, mental image pictures of such experiences.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
In auditing, a preclear would be asked to return to a specific incident — an experience that took place in a finite time period at a particular location, involving specific perceptions and people.
Why It Matters
Incidents and their mental image pictures form the content that is addressed in auditing. Locating and running specific incidents allows the preclear to relieve the charge associated with those experiences.
