the person is "outside" his body when returned to a n incident. These exteriorized views of self have two explanations: One of them is valence, whereby the person has taken unto himself the identity of another person and sees the scene through that other person's eyes. The other is exteriorization, in which painful emotion is present in such quantity that the person cannot occupy himself. Today, the term means the action of moving out of one's body. One can view the body or control the body from a distance. It is the state of the thetan, the individual himself, being outside his body. When this is done, the person achieves a certainty that he is himself and not his body. —Notes on the Lectures Glossary Final approval 26 March 1990
