According to sources[citation needed], a Scientologist moves up The Bridge to Total Freedom, or simply "The Bridge", to a state of Clear when they have freed themselves from their "reactive mind". Purportedly[citation needed], this takes place beyond training sessions in Church of Scientology auditing, and is said to be a lifetime commitment. Once an individual has reached Clear status, they claim to be more self-confident, happy and generally successful in their careers and interpersonal relationships. Beyond the state of Clear, Scientologists move through several auditing steps called Operating Thetan levels, the most sacred religious activity. An OT is a state of spiritual awareness in which an individual is able to control himself and his environment.[1]
The Bridge is broken down into two parallel paths, Training and Processing. Processing addresses the Scientology devotee's "case" or how they function in life as influenced by their "aberrations". The Training path teaches Hubbard's theories on the nature of life and the universe and the techniques of auditing. Participants feel that this knowledge greatly enhances their ability to be effective in life whether they audit another or not.[citation needed] Scientologists can travel up either side of the Bridge and many do both sides. Although not part of the formal Bridge, the chart also lists a large number of optional courses and training actions that can be done by Scientologists.
