Our Leader’s Sacred Lisp
X. Con Buzzard, the founder of the Church of Ziontology, developed a tendency over the years to pronounce both the letters 'S' and 'Z' as the dental fricative 'th'. This is, of course, what most people might refer to as a lisp. However, Buzzard was not a natural born lisper. He had to work on it and he put his all into it. It was an intentional affectation, which he developed during his many gay sojourns to the ports of Torremolinos and Malaga during his time commanding the spiritual flagging ship "Lollipop" in the Mediterranean in the 1960s. As a result, Buzzard gradually tended to pronounce words like “spirit” as “thpirit”, "Ziontology" as "Thiontology" and "Zee-Org" as "The Org", "Zetan" as "Thetan" and so on. The technical term for this phonetic idiom in Spain is known as the "Ceceo Lisp", which is a term phonologists use to describe this particular dialectical peculiarity. For Buzzard, it seems to have been simply an acquired obsessive compulsive tick, which he meticulously and religiously cultivated. Why did he do it? Was it an attempt to fit in to the Costa del Sol club scene? Was it of some esoteric spiritual significance? Was it just an extremely long-lived-leg-pulling-shenanigans type of thing? Nobody knows for sure. However, although the standard English pronunciation of 'z' and 's' are perfectly acceptable in day-to-day usage, just to be safe, devout Ziontologists always take special care during formal Ziontological rituals and ceremonies to pay respect to Buzzard by always pronouncing 'S' and 'Z' with a slight lithp.

Ziontological ZEX
The Symbol of the Church of Ziontology is composed of two superimposed equilateral triangles, each with a common shared singular orthocenter. One triangle is pointing up, and the other is pointing down, forming a sort of six pointed star, which represents Zion, or the Home Land Security for the eternal Zetan (i.e. you’re true self). It also represents something known as the Final Solution for all wandering souls in all of eternity.
The upward pointing triangle’s three points represent Zeno, Ego and Xeno, and this triangle is often referred to by its acronym “ZEX”. The topmost point is Ego. The lower left point is Xeno. The lower right point is Zeno. Together they represent the singular deity known as Godhead. It has often been said that Ziontology and Trianetics both give great Godhead. And that's what great ZEX is all about.
The other downward pointing triangle represents Body Mind and Soul (BMS). In the downward triangle, it is the sides rather than the vertices that are meaningful. These three sides represent the links known as the "BM" (body-mind) and the "BS" (body-soul) as well as the spiritual bondage between soul and mind, known as "S&M". Of course, a good BM is perhaps the most satisfying experience that a body can hope to have, and there is no question that BS forms the basis of virtually all meaningful spiritual frameworks since antiquity. But it is truly S&M that captures the exquisite essence of the pain and pleasure duality of Zion. It is, after all, S&M that captures the profound love and hate that Xeno and Zeno have for one another, for themselves and for you.
Zeno and Xeno are the dueling deities who have been battling it out, in love and hate, for our souls for trillions of years in what has come to be known as the Space Symphony. The Ego is the deity that represents the self. So you are a deity and you are part of the Godhead at Zion. The Ego is the topmost point, and it represents “you” to you and it represents “me” to me. It even represents “itself” to itself. The word Ego is, of course, taken directly from Latin, where it is the nominative first person singular personal pronoun, and it literally means “I myself”. So Ziontology is very egocentric. It literally is all about you!
Shortly after the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, many trillions of years ago, the perfect crystalline singularity at Zion fragmented into trillions of spiritual fragments, now known as Zetans. In cosmological physics, this is known as symmetry breaking (a.k.a. the Big Bang). In Abrahamic religion, it is known as the creation myth. In Ziontology, it is sometimes referred to as “Kristallnacht”.
Every sentient being today, including you and me, and all our pets, and so on, are each a shard of that original perfect crystalline symmetry a Zion. It was that cosmological symmetry breaking event that expressed itself as our reality as we now know it, which was initially just a low probability random quantum energy fluctuation. And that created our physical universe. Go figure!
That event is technically known as the two superimposed events labeled, in Ziontology doctrine, as Predicaments I and II. The resulting Zetanic Diaspora of spiritual shards resulted in the scattering of all Zetans, throughout the universe, but the majority ended up either here as earthly humans and other critters (the Azkenazi), or as the alien forms who settled in the Zeti Reticuli (the Zetardi). The Zeti Reticuli is a binary star system which is approximately 39 light years away from our Teegeeyuck (i.e. local dialect “Earth”).
On the other hand, the closely related Trianetics religion has, as its symbol, only one upward pointing triangle, filled with the colors of the rainbow flag. The points represent the same concepts as the upward pointing triangle in the Ziontology symbol described above. But it is filled with the six primary colors (the three additive are interleaved with the three subtractive). The six colors, starting from the bottom going upward are red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta. That is, it is an inclusive multi-colored pyramid scheme, consisting of levels represented as the colors of the rainbow. The actual colors used, referred to as "Altitude Colors", are not identical to, but coincidently coincide very closely with the color bands of the International Gay Flag. Of course Ziontology and Trianetics are open to all races, creeds, and sexual orientations. However, the Trianetic symbol should not be construed as either pro or anti gay. After all, the Zetan is essentially frigid.

Ziontology, Freewill, Chosen People, etc.
Ziontology, Freewill and Chosen People
There is a parallel between the concept of Jews being God’s chosen people and the concept of Ziontologists being Zion’s chosen Zetans. In both cases, choice is not involved on the part of the chosen. In the case of the Jew, it is an accident of birth and the mere inheritance of genetic material that determines the teleological outcome of going to the Promised Land. In that framework, the Goy is not evil. It’s just that they are not chosen. They are part of the spandrel, and not part of the design.
In the case of the Ziontologist, there is also, rather non-intuitively for most, no freewill involved in being a part of the solution rather than a part of the precipitate. So in the case of the chosen Jew, it is a genetic thing. In the case of the Ziontologist, it is a memetic thing. Please look up meme on Wikipedia for more insight on this.
Think about it. You cannot choose your desires. They choose you. And you cannot choose to do something you do not desire to do. If you do choose to do something “undesirable” to prove a point, such as to demonstrate freewill, then obviously the desire to prove that point is the overriding desire in effect. You cannot choose to not think about something. Just try it! You also cannot choose to think of something that never happens to occur to you. You cannot choose to believe in something that you find unconvincing. You can not choose to hear something that is never spoken. The sense of freewill that most of us seem to have is a persistent delusion. It is a corrupted interpretation of understanding what you have done shortly after the fact, not a voluntary premeditated choice. Not outside of Zion, at any rate.
So it should be clear, even to the Prevoid, that self determination and freewill is a bogus. So, here is the deal. If you are a Ziontologist, you had no choice over it. You always were a Ziontologist, for all eternity, and your Probing Sessions in the Church of Ziontology is actually more of learning and discovery that you are a Ziontologist rather than a developing of choice to be a Ziontologist. If you are not already a Ziontologist at your spiritual core, no amount of Probing Session and Ziontology reading effort will ever fix that.
Just to prove that point, if you do not accept and understand Church of Ziontology doctrine, try a little Gedankenexperiment to prove to your self that there is no freewill in choice of religious belief. To perform this thought experiment, do this: First, voluntarily choose to believe in Ziontology at this very moment. Now, ask yourself if you really do you believe in Ziontology? If you do, then you are and always were a Ziontologist, for all eternity. But if after that effort to exert your own freewill to choose to become a believing Ziontologist failed, then I rest my case on the nonsense we foolishly refer to as freewill. So you are either in or out. You are either chosen or not. Or as they might say on a cruise: "You’re either on board or you’re not!” The only way to find out is to try it out and go to Zion. It all becomes totally clear there.
The Deities Xeno and Zeno
The Trianetic deities that we refer to as “Xeno” and “Zeno” are eternal and timeless, and their home is at the pinnacle of Mount Zion. They are the antonyms that form a complimentary duality that some eastern philosophies refer to yin and yang. In more specific western narrative, they are referred to using terms that focus on special cases of interest, such as “question” and “answer” or “truth” and “paradox”. However the neologisms we use for these eternalities are based on ancient Greek words. Xeno means foreigner, guest or stranger. And Zeno was the name of several crucially significant ancient Greek philosophers. In particular, Zeno of Elea was the inventor of the dialectic and the founder of logic. He is also well known for his analysis of paradox.
The Ovulating Zetan Levels
As a practicing Ziontologist, after sufficient Probing Sessions, once you become Void, you obviously arrive at Zion. But once you are at Zion, what do you do? Well, your task there, which will be directly in front of you, is to climb to the pinnacle of Mount Zion. Each level that you ascend is known as an Ovulation Zetan level (OZ level). OZ levels are labeled using roman numerals, OZ I, OZ II, OZ III, OZ IV, OZ V and so on. There are an infinite number of levels, but each step to the next level is exactly half as far as was the previous step. Before you know it, you are on top of the spiritual world. You will be there with your own Trianetics Certified Tenzing Norgay at your side. Once you are there, you will no doubt take a deep breath of the incredibly rarified spirit, take in the awesome view, and then come back down to physical reality. Once you get back, you will have a great day, feel healthy, work more efficiently, have better mental acuity and memory, and have a wonderful sense of wholeness and well being.
The Trianetics Symbol
Mount Zion is the impetus for the design of the Trianetics Symbol, which represents the Trianetic hierarchy of needs. This symbol is graphically represented as an artistic layering pyramid scheme. It is comprised of exactly three layers. The lowest of the three layers is red, and it represents your base somatic needs, comprised of matter, energy, time and space requirements. Examples of somatic needs are food, water, air, exercise, warmth, shelter, light and sex. The next layer up is green, and it represents mental needs, such as education, training, contemplation, language, trade and sex. The top layer, which includes the pinnacle of Mount Zion, represents your spiritual needs, including love, happiness, noetic understanding and sex. You can think of the Trianetics Symbol as an enriched yet compactified Maslow hierarchy. Its all about needs and having needs met.

Etymology of "Ziontology","Trianetics" and "Shambolic Publications" Trademarks
Etymologically speaking, the words "Ziontology" and "Trianetics" are exceedingly perfect neologisms. In fact, these words are the actual true names of what they each intrinsically represent (i.e. this is how one actually referrers to them at Zion).
For a run-down on the etymology of the word “Ziontology”, read near the end of the article at www.ziontology.com/ZiontologyChapter01.html, in the section titled "The Etymology of Ziontology". The short version of that story is that “Ziontology” is the elision of the words "Zion" and "Ontology". But both of these root words have deep meanings themselves, so please do read the entire article for a deeper understanding.
The word “Trianetics” is formed from the elision and simplification of the words "Triality" and "Energetics". Triality is itself a neologism, representing the body/mind/soul triple-reality defined in Church of Ziontology doctrine. Trianetics is the practical application of Ziontological principles in getting your Zetan to Zion. That is yet another rather profound concept, so again, please review http://www.ziontology.com/ to get a better handle on all this.
The etymology of the word "Shambolic", as in "Shambolic Publications", which is a trademark representing the publishing arm of the Church of Ziontology , is formed from the elision of "Shambhala" and "symbolic". Note that the word "Shambolic", with an uppercase 'S', as used here, should not be confused with the British slang term "shambolic", with a lowercase 's'. The word “Shambhala” is a Buddhist term that refers to a mystical realm, which is similar in many respects to the Zion of Ziontology. The word “symbolic”, of course, is the use of textual or iconic representation to convey meaning. So “Shambolic” is a symbolic representation of Zion, or more precisely, Zion's symbolic expression of itself.

What is Trianetics?
What is Trianetics?
Trianetics refers to the new Ziontology-based religion developed entirely, from the ground up, on the fundamental spiritual principles defined by the Church of Ziontology. For more information, please read "The Church of Ziontology: The Postmodern Science of Integral Health" at http://www.ziontology.com/. To begin to understand what Trianetics is all about, let’s start by taking a quick look at a few of the technical terms that are new and specific to the Trianetics religion. Please note that many of these terms are trademarks of StepUpTransform, LLC. The word “Triality” refers to the combined three realities of the physical, mental and spiritual realms. So Triality essentially is a tri-reality. Ziontology is also based on three core concepts, which are a singularity known as Zion, a duality known as xeno/zeno and a triality known as body/mind/soul. The word "Zetan" (often represented simply as the Greek letter “Z”, which is pronounced “Zeta”), refers to one's immortal spirit or soul. Your Zetan is the true you. The goal of Trianetics is to help your Zetan find its trajectory towards Zion. The word "Zion" is your spiritual resting place or your ultimate home in eternity. It’s your own personal promised land. It’s not a physical place, but rather, it’s a singularity in the spiritual realm. Trianetics Counselors are specially trained spiritual practitioners who are Trianetics Certified specifically to help your body, mind and soul to develop and grow in strength and health. This growth is based on the three Ziontological disciplines known as Somatization, Contemplation and Meditation, which pertain to physical, mental and spiritual improvements, respectively. A Trianetics Probing Session focuses on the physical, mental and spiritual processing of both xengrams and zengrams (which will be described shortly). The probing session makes use of a Z-Meter device (also described later in this article) together with physical exercises, such as Trianetic breathing and posturing, as well as thoughtful thinking, vivid visualization and deep meditation exercises, combined with bio-feedback technologies. A xengram is a subject’s painful or destructive event or experience that is often repressed by the subject’s Reluctant Mind. The Reluctant Mind is what some psychiatrists refer to as the subconscious mind, which represses painful memories and is responsible for psychosomatic effects, such as stress headaches, hypertension and even mental illness. However, psychosomatic effects can be either harmful or beneficial. When they are harmful, they are described by psychiatrists as psychosomatic illnesses (which by the way are not "all in your head"). However, Trianetics recognizes that psychosomatic effects can sometimes be of the helpful kind, and they can be leveraged in a constructive way during Probing Sessions. Trianetics also sees the causal relations between body, mind and spirit as two way streets. So, psychosomatic effects, which represent mind-body interactions, work in both directions. This is why, as you probably already know, exercise can help you mentally and spiritually, and why contemplation can help you physically and spiritually and also why meditation can help you physically and mentally. By the way, a zengram is a pleasurable or constructive event, which is never repressed by the Reluctant Mind, and is a wonderful thing indeed. Corresponding to this duality of xengram and zengram, there are also the two associated Trianetic deities, known as Xeno and Zeno. Xeno is the deity that represents the positive, the known, truth, organization, answer, sincerity, cooperation, wheel and rebirth. Zeno is the deity that represents the negative, the unknown, paradox, entropy, question, parody, competition, fire and death. Neither deity is evil nor good. Death gives rise to birth and birth gives rise to death in a cyclic manner. Question leads to answer and answer leads to question. Parody leads to sincerity and sincerity leads to parody. Paradox also leads to truth, and vice-versa. You could say that Xeno and Zeno work as a husband and wife team, and you are their beloved child! Your own Zetan, which represents your own life, and your own spirit, is thus the third deity of the Trianetic Trinity. Together, these three deities form the single entity known as Monad (Godhead). So, hey, you are part of God! I bet you knew it all the time! In many ways Xeno, Zetan and Zeno are very similar to the Hindu trinity (Trimurti) consisting of Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, which represent the creator, the preserver and the destroyer, respectively. The Trianetic deities, Xeno and Zeno, are also represented in a parallel manner in Chinese philosophy, in the form of yin and yang. Similarly, just as with yin and yang, Xeno and Zeno represent two opposing and, at the same time, complementary aspects of the Triality. Zetan represents the true you as the neutral observer within this Triality. Your Zetan interacts with Xeno and Zeno as part of your physical, mental and spiritual growth. Xeno and Zeno are equally important to your spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is all about learning. To learn, you need to ask the correct questions and seek the correct answers. Xeno is a question that represents the pain of learning something new. Zeno is the answer to a question and the joy of learning something new. Xeno is pain. Zeno is gain. No pain, no gain! Trianetic Probing helps you do just that, and grow as a result. The eternal cyclic interaction between Xeno and Zeno is sometimes referred to as the Space-time Symphony (mom and dad are fighting again!), within which we have all played a cameo role, for all eternity. The Z-meter is a simple Trianetic device that measures the skin's electrical impedance as a function of time. The letter "Z" in the name refers to the fact that electrical engineering conventions dictate the use of the "Z" symbol to represent a physical quantity known as electrical impedance. Mentally, this impedance represents the Reluctant Mind’s repression of painful xengrams, which must be marshaled and processed during Probing Sessions. Physically, this impedance represents the degree of opposition to an applied time-varying electrical signal as a complex galvanic skin response. Impedance is represented mathematically as a complex variable, and thus, it goes beyond the concept of simple electrical resistance. That is to say, it contains both a real part and an imaginary part. There is a quite bit more to how the Z-Meter works internally than can be adequately described in this short article. Suffice it to say that at least part of its design is based on a very simple electronic circuit commonly known as the Wheatstone bridge. The Z-Meter gathers the impedance data from the hands of the subject, sends it via a USB connection to a personal computer, where it is processed and then it is sent on to the Ziontology Probing Web Service, where it is analyzed and correlated along with the data of other probing sessions (both your previous sessions as well as those of other subjects). It is all done live online, and a Trianetics Counselor is at a remote location, communicating with the subject via voice, video and web-based Trianetics software. So, basically, the Z-Meter is used by a trained Trianetic Counselor during a Probing Session to help guide your Zetan with improved Somatization, Contemplation and Meditation. The entire process is similar to simple traditional bio-feedback techniques, but it is much more comprehensive and effective. A Probing Session can sometimes be emotionally painful, but the pain is a necessity for continued spiritual growth. The goal is to provide physical, mental and spiritual counseling and guidance such that your Zetan can reach a Big Xen or a Big Zen (i.e. a major milestone) towards Zion. A Big Xen is a spiritually deep and significant question that you discover that you must ask yourself, which can indeed be very painful. A Big Zen is a spiritually deep and important answer that you discover about yourself that you have come to understand and accept. When both a Big Xen and a Big Zen both take place during a single Probing Session, it is often referred to as a Win-Win. Each Probing session is part of a carefully planned cyclical sequence of scheduled steps, developed between you and your counselor, which is a process collectively known as the Zionetic Life Cycle (ZLC). The ZLC represents a charted course that is essentially a spiral trajectory towards Zion. And finally, on an entirely unrelated note, one more term worth mentioning here is “Z-Org” (Zee Organization), which refers to the administrative organization of the Church of Ziontology, which is also the jurisdiction under which the Trianetic religion falls under.

Trianetics refers to the new Ziontology-based religion developed entirely, from the ground up, on the fundamental spiritual principles defined by the Church of Ziontology. For more information, please read "The Church of Ziontology: The Postmodern Science of Integral Health" at http://www.ziontology.com/. To begin to understand what Trianetics is all about, let’s start by taking a quick look at a few of the technical terms that are new and specific to the Trianetics religion. Please note that many of these terms are trademarks of StepUpTransform, LLC. The word “Triality” refers to the combined three realities of the physical, mental and spiritual realms. So Triality essentially is a tri-reality. Ziontology is also based on three core concepts, which are a singularity known as Zion, a duality known as xeno/zeno and a triality known as body/mind/soul. The word "Zetan" (often represented simply as the Greek letter “Z”, which is pronounced “Zeta”), refers to one's immortal spirit or soul. Your Zetan is the true you. The goal of Trianetics is to help your Zetan find its trajectory towards Zion. The word "Zion" is your spiritual resting place or your ultimate home in eternity. It’s your own personal promised land. It’s not a physical place, but rather, it’s a singularity in the spiritual realm. Trianetics Counselors are specially trained spiritual practitioners who are Trianetics Certified specifically to help your body, mind and soul to develop and grow in strength and health. This growth is based on the three Ziontological disciplines known as Somatization, Contemplation and Meditation, which pertain to physical, mental and spiritual improvements, respectively. A Trianetics Probing Session focuses on the physical, mental and spiritual processing of both xengrams and zengrams (which will be described shortly). The probing session makes use of a Z-Meter device (also described later in this article) together with physical exercises, such as Trianetic breathing and posturing, as well as thoughtful thinking, vivid visualization and deep meditation exercises, combined with bio-feedback technologies. A xengram is a subject’s painful or destructive event or experience that is often repressed by the subject’s Reluctant Mind. The Reluctant Mind is what some psychiatrists refer to as the subconscious mind, which represses painful memories and is responsible for psychosomatic effects, such as stress headaches, hypertension and even mental illness. However, psychosomatic effects can be either harmful or beneficial. When they are harmful, they are described by psychiatrists as psychosomatic illnesses (which by the way are not "all in your head"). However, Trianetics recognizes that psychosomatic effects can sometimes be of the helpful kind, and they can be leveraged in a constructive way during Probing Sessions. Trianetics also sees the causal relations between body, mind and spirit as two way streets. So, psychosomatic effects, which represent mind-body interactions, work in both directions. This is why, as you probably already know, exercise can help you mentally and spiritually, and why contemplation can help you physically and spiritually and also why meditation can help you physically and mentally. By the way, a zengram is a pleasurable or constructive event, which is never repressed by the Reluctant Mind, and is a wonderful thing indeed. Corresponding to this duality of xengram and zengram, there are also the two associated Trianetic deities, known as Xeno and Zeno. Xeno is the deity that represents the positive, the known, truth, organization, answer, sincerity, cooperation, wheel and rebirth. Zeno is the deity that represents the negative, the unknown, paradox, entropy, question, parody, competition, fire and death. Neither deity is evil nor good. Death gives rise to birth and birth gives rise to death in a cyclic manner. Question leads to answer and answer leads to question. Parody leads to sincerity and sincerity leads to parody. Paradox also leads to truth, and vice-versa. You could say that Xeno and Zeno work as a husband and wife team, and you are their beloved child! Your own Zetan, which represents your own life, and your own spirit, is thus the third deity of the Trianetic Trinity. Together, these three deities form the single entity known as Monad (Godhead). So, hey, you are part of God! I bet you knew it all the time! In many ways Xeno, Zetan and Zeno are very similar to the Hindu trinity (Trimurti) consisting of Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva, which represent the creator, the preserver and the destroyer, respectively. The Trianetic deities, Xeno and Zeno, are also represented in a parallel manner in Chinese philosophy, in the form of yin and yang. Similarly, just as with yin and yang, Xeno and Zeno represent two opposing and, at the same time, complementary aspects of the Triality. Zetan represents the true you as the neutral observer within this Triality. Your Zetan interacts with Xeno and Zeno as part of your physical, mental and spiritual growth. Xeno and Zeno are equally important to your spiritual growth. Spiritual growth is all about learning. To learn, you need to ask the correct questions and seek the correct answers. Xeno is a question that represents the pain of learning something new. Zeno is the answer to a question and the joy of learning something new. Xeno is pain. Zeno is gain. No pain, no gain! Trianetic Probing helps you do just that, and grow as a result. The eternal cyclic interaction between Xeno and Zeno is sometimes referred to as the Space-time Symphony (mom and dad are fighting again!), within which we have all played a cameo role, for all eternity. The Z-meter is a simple Trianetic device that measures the skin's electrical impedance as a function of time. The letter "Z" in the name refers to the fact that electrical engineering conventions dictate the use of the "Z" symbol to represent a physical quantity known as electrical impedance. Mentally, this impedance represents the Reluctant Mind’s repression of painful xengrams, which must be marshaled and processed during Probing Sessions. Physically, this impedance represents the degree of opposition to an applied time-varying electrical signal as a complex galvanic skin response. Impedance is represented mathematically as a complex variable, and thus, it goes beyond the concept of simple electrical resistance. That is to say, it contains both a real part and an imaginary part. There is a quite bit more to how the Z-Meter works internally than can be adequately described in this short article. Suffice it to say that at least part of its design is based on a very simple electronic circuit commonly known as the Wheatstone bridge. The Z-Meter gathers the impedance data from the hands of the subject, sends it via a USB connection to a personal computer, where it is processed and then it is sent on to the Ziontology Probing Web Service, where it is analyzed and correlated along with the data of other probing sessions (both your previous sessions as well as those of other subjects). It is all done live online, and a Trianetics Counselor is at a remote location, communicating with the subject via voice, video and web-based Trianetics software. So, basically, the Z-Meter is used by a trained Trianetic Counselor during a Probing Session to help guide your Zetan with improved Somatization, Contemplation and Meditation. The entire process is similar to simple traditional bio-feedback techniques, but it is much more comprehensive and effective. A Probing Session can sometimes be emotionally painful, but the pain is a necessity for continued spiritual growth. The goal is to provide physical, mental and spiritual counseling and guidance such that your Zetan can reach a Big Xen or a Big Zen (i.e. a major milestone) towards Zion. A Big Xen is a spiritually deep and significant question that you discover that you must ask yourself, which can indeed be very painful. A Big Zen is a spiritually deep and important answer that you discover about yourself that you have come to understand and accept. When both a Big Xen and a Big Zen both take place during a single Probing Session, it is often referred to as a Win-Win. Each Probing session is part of a carefully planned cyclical sequence of scheduled steps, developed between you and your counselor, which is a process collectively known as the Zionetic Life Cycle (ZLC). The ZLC represents a charted course that is essentially a spiral trajectory towards Zion. And finally, on an entirely unrelated note, one more term worth mentioning here is “Z-Org” (Zee Organization), which refers to the administrative organization of the Church of Ziontology, which is also the jurisdiction under which the Trianetic religion falls under.

Hello
Hi!
This is my first blog entry for Trianetics, the religion. I will be adding many new entries here from time to time so please do drop by now and then. Also, I will be creating a web site dedicated to Trianetics at www.trianetics.com, but that will not be up for a while. Trianetics is the first religion developed entirely on ziontological principles from the ground up. So please first start to learn about Ziontology by reading my web site at: http://www.ziontology.com/. There you will find a link to my first draft copy of the first chapter of my soon to be published book on the Church of Ziontology. Also watch for my other new book on Trianetics.
Thanks... Talk with you all soon again soon
