Mayo was the top tech guy at one point, and the clear cog is a rather specific cognition - coming to realize you are mocking up the bank.

This hits into a rather basic concept which Scientology tech balances on - the idea that you can as-is something.

Hubbard posits if you look at something exactly ( and possibly creating an exact duplicate of it in the exact same space ) it will vanish. All auditing to some extent depends on that principal.

I am certain that there is a certain amount of de-sensitizing of incidents etc by viewing them, but total erasure?

See, that is perhaps why clear is an unobtainable state - one realizes he is creating the bank, but is that realization sufficient to result in the cessation of creation of the bank, or the erasure of the bank?

And what happens when it doesn't happen? We waltz off into the OT levels, and we are suddenly composite beings, and yes, you are clear - however, the entire BT bank is impeding your progress, and returned abilities. Yet, when all the BT's have been given their pink slips, we still find OTs that have not had a resurgence of their state of clear.

Hence my question - does as-ising actually work?
