short for Classification, Gradation and AwarenessChart: the route to Clear and the states beyond, also called The Bridge to Total Freedom, or the Bridge. Classification means that there are certain actions required to be done or conditions to be attained before a n individual is classified for a particulartraininglevel and allowed to progress up. Gradation means a gradual grade up, just as there are grades to a road or there are grades to steps. Awareness refers to one's own awareness, which improves as one progresses up. On the right side of this chart there are various steps called the States of Release. The left-hand side of the chart describes the very important steps of training on which one gains the knowledge and abilities necessary to deliver the Grades of Release to another. It is a guide for the individual from the point where he first becomes dimly aware of a Scientologist or Scientology and shows him how and where h e should move up in order to make it. Scientology contains the entire map for getting the individual through all the various points on this gradation scale and for getting him across the Bridge to higher states of existence. —OEC - Ron's Journal 38 App Mar 91
