MOTIVATOR
The consideration and dramatization that one has been wronged by the action of another or a group, and which is characterized by constant complaint with no real action undertaken to resolve the situation. This reveals that the motivator is being held in place to justify overt acts committed by the individual, which is easily handled in auditing.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A person dramatizing a motivator constantly complains about being wronged by another but takes no real action to resolve the situation. In auditing, this pattern reveals that the person is holding the motivator in place to justify their own overt acts.
Why It Matters
Motivators matter because they mask the person's own overt acts behind a sense of being victimized. Handling them in auditing exposes the underlying overts, which resolves the compulsive complaining and restores the person's responsibility.
