The truth of being is pure awareness. There can be awareness of anything. Consciousness comes about as things are identified and meaning is given to them. But that consciousness is dynamic. It is either changing or subject to change at deeper and deeper levels. This happens so that overall harmony may be maintained.
When identifications start to become fixed, consciousness, at some level, also becomes fixed. Harmony either starts to be violated or becomes subject to violation since consciousness cannot realign to bring about overall harmony. With violations of harmony come anomalies.
When anomalies become too many, with too many fixations, a restructuring of beingness may occur. This restructuring can appear in the form of an NDE or as a nervous breakdown. A constructive restructuring brings harmony back.
An NDE usually brings up visions. Such visions are symbolic representations of the shift that is taking place. They are similar to dreams, but much more vivid and seemingly real.
An NDE provides a person with a new postulate (stable point) that restrains his confusions and helps him manage his life better. A postulate is a foundational assumption taken as true, from which everything else is derived. A readjustment of consciousness may follow as confusions get sorted out with the reasoning, which follows the new postulate.
This is my understanding. Understanding of others may differ.

The Scientology Axioms (Summary)
.
Reference: The Scientology Axioms
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.
