SERVICE FACSIMILE
A computation generated by the individual to make self-right and others wrong, to dominate or escape domination and to enhance own survival and injure that of others. This computation will cause the individual to deliberately hold in re-stimulation selected parts of his Reactive Mind to explain his failures in life. For example, a person may keep an old injury in re-stimulation so that his family has to look after him.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
In auditing, a service facsimile is uncovered when the preclear is found to be holding onto a computation that makes them right and others wrong. For example, a person may keep an old injury in restimulation so that their family has to look after them.
Why It Matters
Identifying and handling the service facsimile is vital because it is a deliberately maintained computation that causes the individual to use parts of the Reactive Mind to justify failures, blocking genuine case progress.
