Firstly, congradulations on your successful exit of the COS (if I may put it that way?) I too succeeded in getting a refund (quite large at that) from the COS but I was a mere public and aside from some juvenile attempts at intimidation from a few of the upper level staff (which produced exactly zero effect on me) I received it in relatively short order. Glad to see you're free.
On a technical note, or question, could you/would you (or Paul, Ralph, Terril, Alanzo, Alan, etc etc et al) briefly define or explain (i.e. elaborate on) what a last-lifetime clear is?
One might reasonably assume it was one that was clear in a previous lifetime. Is that accurate? And if so, my questions are these: Did such a one necessarily go clear via dianetics? and does the mere statement: "I went clear in a previous lifetime" qualify that one as being recognized as being a last lifetime clear?
And for the sake of clarity regarding being clear
is there a current commonly used scientology definition of being
clear that you are using? And if so, could you articulate it here?
Thanks.

p.s. for the record, if it matters, the reason I am even here (on the Ex-Scientologist Message Board) and asking you such questions as I have is because I am certain that dianetic auditing (if nothing else scientological) has some inherent individual/social value for at least some significant portion of any current civilized society, though I haven't yet quite figured out why that it so, or how it is so. I didn't 'join/participate' (i.e. purchase auditing) in the church of scientology to save myself or to save the world (which seems to have been the overriding motivation of at least the majority of those persons whom have posted their stories on the 'through the door' website
http://alley.ethercat.com/door/) I joined out of pure philosophical/spiritual curiosity. When my auditing sessions consisted of 90% or more time of having a floating needle, at the absurd price I was paying for it, along with reading a critical book on the church, I left. Thus the ignorance revealed in my questions above I hope have been answered in advance (lol). Mo
