RELEASE
A person whose Reactive Mind is keyed out and is not influencing him or her on a given topic, or area of case.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A person who has reached the state of Release on a given area of their case has had their reactive mind keyed out on that subject, meaning it is no longer actively influencing them. For example, a Grade 0 Release can freely communicate without reactive mind interference on that topic.
Why It Matters
Release is a major milestone on the Bridge, representing freedom from the reactive mind's influence on a specific area. Each grade of auditing produces its own release state, progressively freeing the individual from more areas of reactive mind control.
