TIME TRACK

The running record of pictures the mind has kept, laid down one after another through a person's life or lives. It is very accurately dated, with a scene roughly every twenty-fifth of a second. If a film could be three-dimensional, carry every sense and act back on the person watching it, that would be the time track.

From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.

Usage

An auditor asking a person to go to a particular moment is directing him along his time track. The track is obedient to that direction, which is what makes precise auditing possible.

Why It Matters

The record being accurately dated is what allows an auditor to send someone to a specific moment rather than a general period. It is at least hundreds of billions of years long.
