This paper presents Scientology Axioms 51 – 58 and the corresponding versions per POSTULATE MECHANICS (PM).
SCN AXIOM 51: Postulates and live communication not being MEST and being senior to MEST can accomplish change in MEST without bringing about a persistence of MEST. Thus auditing can occur.
PM AXIOM 51: Looking, being in the dimension of pure awareness, can dissolve identifications with thought, energy and matter (i.e. with minds and bodies). Thus resolution of anomalies can occur.
SCN AXIOM 52: MEST persists and solidifies to the degree that it is not granted life.
PM AXIOM 52: Considerations about substance persist and solidify to the degree that they are not granted life.
SCN AXIOM 53: A stable datum is necessary to the alignment of data.
PM AXIOM 53: A stable datum is necessary to the alignment of data.
SCN AXIOM 54: A tolerance of confusion and an agreed–upon stable datum on which to align the data in a confusion are at once necessary for a sane reaction on the eight dynamics. This defines sanity.
PM AXIOM 54: A tolerance of confusion and an agreed–upon stable datum on which to align the data in a confusion are at once necessary for a sane reaction in all aspects of life.
SCN AXIOM 55: The cycle of action is a consideration. Create, survive, destroy, the cycle of action accepted by the genetic entity, is only a consideration which can be changed by the thetan making a new consideration or different action cycles.
PM AXIOM 55: The cycle of action is the consideration of create, survive destroy, which must be consistent with the postulates.
SCN AXIOM 56: Theta brings order to chaos.
COROLLARY: Chaos brings disorder to theta.
PM AXIOM 56: The primary impulse of this universe is to bring order.
SCN AXIOM 57: Order manifests when communication, control and havingness are available to theta.
DEFINITIONS:
Communication: the interchange of ideas across space.
Control: positive postulating, which is intention, and the execution thereof.
Havingness: that which permits the experience of mass and pressure.
PM AXIOM 57: Order manifests in the form of harmony, consistency and continuity.
SCN AXIOM 58: Intelligence and judgment are measured by the ability to evaluate relative importances.
COROLLARY: The ability to evaluate importances and unimportances is the highest faculty of logic.
COROLLARY: Identification is a monotone assignment of importance.
COROLLARY: Identification is the inability to evaluate differences in time, location, form, composition or importance.
Ability to evaluate relative importances require the ability to recognize differences, similarities and identities and then aligning the data to ensure continuity, harmony and consistency. This is intelligence and judgment respectively.
PM AXIOM 58: Intelligence and judgment are measured by the ability to establish order.

This paper presents Scientology Axioms 41 – 50 and the corresponding versions per POSTULATE MECHANICS (PM).
SCN AXIOM 41: That into which alter–is-ness is introduced becomes a problem.
PM AXIOM 41: That into which alter-is-ness is introduced becomes a problem.
SCN AXIOM 42: MEST (matter, energy, space and time) persists because it is a problem.
It is a problem because it contains Alter-is-ness.
Scientology postulates that MEST (physical) universe is produced by the Theta universe. Postulate Mechanics postulates that Theta (thought) and MEST (matter and energy) are substances because they can be sensed; and pure awareness, which senses them, is an altogether different dimension, which has been omitted from understanding.
PM AXIOM 42: The division of the universe into Theta (spiritual) and MEST (physical), as cause and effect is arbitrary.
It poses a problem because it contains Alter-is-ness.
SCN AXIOM 43: Time is the primary source of untruth.
Time states the untruth of consecutive considerations.
PM AXIOM 43: The idea that THETA (spiritual) created MEST (physical) is the primary source of untruth.
Neither pure awareness nor substance has either a beginning or an end.
SCN AXIOM 44: Theta, the static, has no location in matter, energy, space or time, but is capable of consideration.
PM AXIOM 44: Pure awareness postulates and generates considerations about the substance.
SCN AXIOM 45: Theta can consider itself to be placed, at which moment it becomes placed, and to that degree a problem.
PM AXIOM 45: Awareness identifies with postulates and considerations, and thus generates identities, and to that degree it becomes a problem.
SCN AXIOM 46: Theta can become a problem by its considerations, but then becomes MEST.
A problem is to some degree MEST. MEST is a problem.
PM AXIOM 46: Identification with thought condenses into energy and matter, thus increasing fixation.
A problem is to some degree fixation. Fixation is a problem.
SCN AXIOM 47: Theta can resolve problems.
PM AXIOM 47: Resolution of problems means reversing the process of identification.
SCN AXIOM 48: Life is a game wherein theta as the static solves the problems of theta as mest.
PM AXIOM 48: Life is a game wherein awareness is assimilating sensations, perceptions, experience, concept and knowledge.
SCN AXIOM 49: To solve any problem it is only necessary to become theta, the solver, rather than theta, the problem.
PM AXIOM 49: To solve any problem it is only necessary to realize identifications as bodies and minds.
SCN AXIOM 50: Theta as MEST must contain considerations which are lies.
PM AXIOM 50: An identification must contain considerations which are lies.

This paper presents Scientology Axioms 31 – 40 and the corresponding versions per POSTULATE MECHANICS (PM).
SCN AXIOM 31: Goodness and badness, beautifulness and ugliness are alike considerations and have no other basis than opinion.
PM AXIOM 31: Goodness and badness, beautifulness and ugliness, are alike a range of considerations that may be derived from postulates.
SCN AXIOM 32: Anything which is not directly observed tends to persist.
PM AXIOM 32: Any unconscious modification which is not directly observed tends to persist.
SCN AXIOM 33: Any AS-IS-NESS which is altered by NOT-IS-NESS (by force) tends to persist.
PM AXIOM 33: Any IS-NESS which is altered by NOT-IS-NESS (by force) tends to persist.
SCN AXIOM 34: Any IS-NESS, when altered by force, tends to persist.
PM AXIOM 34: This is same as the previous axiom.
SCN AXIOM 35: The ultimate truth is a static.
A Static has no mass, meaning, mobility, no wavelength, no time, no location in space, no space. This has the technical name of “Basic Truth”.
PM AXIOM 35: The ultimate truth is the knowingness of Oneness.
SCN AXIOM 36: A lie is a second postulate, statement or condition designed to mask a primary postulate which is permitted to remain.
EXAMPLES:
Neither truth nor a lie is a motion or alteration of a particle from one position to another.
A lie is a statement that a particle having moved did not move, or a statement that a particle, not having moved, did move.
The basic lie is that a consideration which was made was not made or that it was different.
PM AXIOM 36: A lie is a second postulate, statement or condition designed to mask a primary postulate which is permitted to remain.
SCN AXIOM 37: When a primary consideration is altered but still exists, persistence is achieved for the altering consideration.
All persistence depends on the Basic Truth, but the persistence is of the altering consideration, for the Basic Truth has neither persistence nor impersistence.
PM AXIOM 37: When a primary consideration is altered but still exists, persistence is achieved for the altering consideration..
SCN AXIOM 38:
1. Stupidity is the unknownness of consideration.
2. Mechanical definition: Stupidity is the unknownness of time, place, form and event.
1. Truth is the exact consideration.
2. Truth is the exact time, place, form and event.
Thus, we see that failure to discover Truth brings about stupidity.
Thus, we see that the discovery of Truth would bring about an As-is-ness by actual experiment.
Thus, we see that an ultimate truth would have no time, place, form or event.
Thus, then, we perceive that we can achieve a persistence only when we mask a truth.
Lying is an alteration of time, place, event, or form.
Lying becomes Alter-is-ness, becomes Stupidity. (The blackness of cases is an accumulation of the case’s own or another’s lies.)
Anything which persists must avoid As-is-ness. Thus, anything, to persist, must contain a lie.
For Hubbard, Static is a thing of faith like the “unmoved mover”. The problem with Hubbard’s logic is that the abilities of the Static are persisting. He is not accounting for that. He has not resolved the problem of the Static. What happens when there is no Static?
PM AXIOM 38: Truth is seeing things as they are.
SCN AXIOM 39: Life poses problems for its own solution.
There are problems in life. Some problems get solved. Others persist. The problems that persist are difficult to AS-IS because, in these cases, it is difficult to see what is really there. Something is preventing AS-IS-NESS. That something is a lie and underlying that is a fixation.
PM AXIOM 39: Life poses problems for its own solution.
SCN AXIOM 40: Any problem, to be a problem, must contain a lie. If it were truth, it would unmock.
An “unsolvable problem” would have the greatest persistence. It would also contain the greatest number of altered facts. To make a problem, one must introduce Alter-is-ness.
We come across problems that appear unsolvable. We have to start with some postulate to solve such a problem. If a postulate is letting us nowhere close to a solution, then that postulate is not the truth. We need to come up with a different postulate. Such trial and error may finally lead to overcoming some fixation and finding the lie. The truth would be the solution.
PM AXIOM 40: Any problem, to be a problem, must contain a lie. If it were truth, it would unmock.

This paper presents Scientology Axioms 21 – 30 and the corresponding versions per POSTULATE MECHANICS (PM).
SCN AXIOM 21: Understanding is composed of affinity, reality and communication.
Understanding comes from assimilation of sensations, perceptions, experience, concepts and knowledge. Such an understanding results in wisdom. Assimilation is the equilibrium reached when all disharmonies, inconsistencies and discontinuities in the mind are removed. Thus, understanding is the oneness of all data. This oneness has the aspects of harmony, consistency and continuity.
PM AXIOM 21: Understanding is composed of harmony, consistency and continuity.
SCN AXIOM 22: The practice of NOT-IS-NESS reduces understanding.
NOT-IS-NESS means denying what is there and assuming things that are not there. This produces unreality.
PM AXIOM 22: The practice of NOT-IS-NESS reduces understanding and produces unreality.
SCN AXIOM 23: The static has the capability of total knowingness. Total knowingness would consist of total ARC.
Static is the foundational identity as thetan that is different for each person. Oneness cannot be achieved among such identities. Without oneness there cannot be total knowingness. Any agreement among thetans is only an agreement among their considerations, and it does not touch the foundational postulates.
PM AXIOM 23: A person has the capability of total knowingness. Total knowingness would consist of total HCC (Harmony, Consistency and Continuity).
SCN AXIOM 24: Total ARC would bring about the vanishment of all mechanical conditions of existence.
Total HCC (harmony, consistency and continuity) shall bring about total knowingness, and, therefore, the resolution of all anomalies. All fixation will be gone, and the mechanics will simplify greatly.
PM AXIOM 24: Total HCC would bring about total understanding of all conditions of existence.
SCN AXIOM 25: Affinity is a scale of attitudes which falls away from the coexistence of static, through the interpositions of distance and energy, to create identity, down to close proximity but mystery.
By the practice of Is-ness (Beingness) and Not-is-ness (refusal to Be) individuation progresses from the Knowingness of complete identification down through the introduction of more and more distance and less and less duplication, through Lookingness, Emotingness, Effortingness, Thinkingness, Symbolizingness, Eatingness, Sexingness, and so through to not-Knowingness (Mystery). Until the point of Mystery is reached, some communication is possible, but even at Mystery an attempt to communicate continues. Here we have, in the case of an individual, a gradual falling away from the belief that one can assume a complete Affinity down to the conviction that all is a complete Mystery. Any individual is somewhere on this Know-to-Mystery scale. The original Chart of Human Evaluation was the Emotion section of this scale.
Instead of affinity, as in Scientology, we look at harmony in Postulate Mechanics. Instead of “coexistence of static” we have oneness of viewpoint. This oneness does not exist in Scientology since static is individualistic.
In Postulate Mechanics, this oneness of viewpoint means “pure awareness.” Oneness deteriorates as awareness identifies with what it has become aware of. Such identification generates a fixed identiy. A thetan is an identification with some postulate. The Know-to-Mystery scale is a scale of increasing identification with postulates and considerations. Harmony decreases as identification increases.
At top is Knowingness, which is the intuitive grasp of everything. There is oneness of knowledge because of complete absence of anomalies. The next level at Looking, where the anomaly of identification first appears. One has to look to find out. At the next level of Emotion, one knows things by his emotional reaction to them. At the Effort level a person must touch and feel things to know them. He depends on mental image pictures to think with. Thinkingness comes below the effort band as figure-figure. When a person drops down the scale below figure-figure, he is into a point where he figures with symbols. A symbol is a packaged thought. Thus fixation condenses as one goes down the scale and mental responses become more reactive. Symbols condense into Eatingness, which is a dog eat dog kind of behavior indicative unthinking reactions. Eatingness condenses into Sexingness where attention is fixated on the body and future survival. Below that one descends into Mystery where one is pretending there is something to know.
PM AXIOM 25: Harmony is a scale of viewpoints which falls away from oneness, through the interposition of identification that creates fixation, down to total fixation and mystery.
By the practice of identification the individuation progresses from Knowingness of complete oneness down through the introduction of more and more identification and less and less recognition, through Lookingness, Emotingness, Effortingness, Thinkingness, Symbolizingness, Eatingness, Sexingness, and so through to not-Knowingness (Mystery). Until the point of Mystery is reached, some communication is possible, but even at Mystery an attempt to communicate continues. Here we have, in the case of an individual, a gradual falling away from the belief that one can assume a complete harmony down to the conviction that all is a complete Mystery. Any individual is somewhere on this Know-to-Mystery scale.
SCN AXIOM 26: Reality is the agreed-upon apparency of existence.
People with similar identities, such as Jews, may have an agreed-upon common reality. But that reality can still be far from actual reality. However, that reality can be very strong when it is consistent from person to person.
PM AXIOM 26: Consistency brings solidity to one’s reality even when it is far from actual reality.
SCN AXIOM 27: An actuality can exist for one individually, but when it is agreed with by others it can be said to be a reality.
The anatomy of Reality is contained in Is-ness, which is composed of As-is-ness and Alter-is-ness. Is-ness is an apparency, it is not an Actuality. The Actuality is As-is-ness altered so as to obtain a persistency. Unreality is the consequence and apparency of the practice of Not-is-ness.
An agreed-upon reality may exist among people who profess to similar identity, such as, all Christians; but even that is not the actual reality. Actuality cannot exist even individually when individuality is being used as one’s frame of reference.
PM AXIOM 27: An agreed-upon reality may exist among people who share an identity, such as, all Christians; but no actuality can exist for them as long as there is the filter of identity. An actuality cannot exist even for one individually if the filter of individuality is active.
SCN AXIOM 28: Communication is the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source-point across a distance to receipt-point, with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt-point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source-point.
The formula of Communication is: Cause, Distance, Effect, with Intention, Attention and Duplication WITH UNDERSTANDING. The component parts of Communication are Consideration, Intention, Attention, Cause, Source-point, Distance, Effect, Receipt-point, Duplication, Understanding, the Velocity of the impulse or particle, Nothingness or Somethingness. A non-communication consists of Barriers. Barriers consist of Space, Interpositions (such as walls and screens of fast-moving particles), and Time. A communication, by definition, does not need to be two-way. When a communication is returned, the formula is repeated, with the receipt-point now becoming a source point and the former source-point now becoming a receipt-point.
PM AXIOM 28: Continuity of consciousness exists naturally in the domain of pure awareness. No matter how perfect the communication is, if actuality does not exist at the source point, then it cannot be communicated to the receipt point. To have actuality exist for one individually, one must be in the domain of pure awareness.
SCN AXIOM 29: In order to cause an as-is-ness to persist, one must assign other authorship to the creation than his own. otherwise, his view of it would cause its vanishment.
Any space, energy, form, object, individual, or physical universe condition can exist only when an alteration has occurred of the original As-is-ness so as to prevent a casual view from vanishing it. In other words, anything which is persisting must contain a “lie” so that the original consideration is not completely duplicated.
The starting point of creation is always the IS-NESS of a postulate. A postulate gets its persistence from oneness with the postulates that came before it. The starting point cannot be an AS-IS-NESS. The authorship of postulates lies in the domain of pure awareness and not to some identity or individuality. The viewing of a postulate can never make it vanish. Only its alterations and denials vanish. A postulate may only be replaced by another postulate.
PM AXIOM 29: The starting point of creation is always the IS-NESS of a postulate. The viewing of a postulate can never make it vanish. Only its alterations and denials vanish. A postulate may only be replaced by another postulate. The authorship of postulates lies in the domain of pure awareness. The authorship can never be assigned to an identity or individuality, which are themselves postulates.
SCN AXIOM 30: The general rule of auditing is that anything which is unwanted and yet persists must be thoroughly viewed, at which time it will vanish.
If only partially viewed, its intensity, at least, will decrease.
PM AXIOM 30: The general rule of looking is that anything which is unwanted and yet persists must be thoroughly viewed, at which time it will vanish. If only partially viewed, its intensity, at least, will decrease.
The aberration vanishes because it is made up of Alter-is-ness and Not-is-ness. What remains is the pure Is-ness of postulates, which is the actuality that is part of total knowingness.
