The Dynamics (old)

Reference: The Quest for Certainty

We may start from the concept that there is always something to know; that there is no absolute knowledge. This ultimate concept may be looked upon as “Supreme Being” or Brahma. A version of it is considered to be the Eighth Dynamic by Hubbard of Scientology.

The “static” is the orientation point from which to view this vast universe. This reference point is theoretical but very essential. All properties of the universe must converge back to this point for orientation. Hubbard has a version of it as the Seventh Dynamic.

The universe is not only material but also spiritual. The material aspects are MEST (matter, energy, space and time), and the spiritual aspects are ICAD (identity, consciousness, awareness and desire). The material and spiritual aspects of the universe cannot be separated. Hubbard has a version of it as the Sixth Dynamic.

This universe evolves from the disturbance of the fabric of Space-awareness by the presence of Time-Desire. As a result, first there is Energy-consciousness, which then condenses into Matter-identity. Then there is progressive evolution of Matter-identity into minerals, plant life, and animal life. This evolution has now culminated in sentient humans. Hubbard refers to a version of the above as Fifth Dynamic.

When we focus on the highest form of evolution of this universe, we have Mankind as Fourth Dynamic. We can then look at the division of Mankind into Groups as the Third Dynamic. We may highlight the organization of the procreation activity among humans as the Second Dynamic. Finally, we may regard the individual person and his individuality as the First Dynamic.

Here we have a philosophy of evolution that is logically anchored in the Eighth Dynamic. The proper sequence of Dynamics occurs from Eighth to First. However, Hubbard reverses this sequence by making individuality as the center piece of his philosophy of Scientology. Thus, Hubbard’s philosophy of Scientology is backwards.

When we consider the Eighth Dynamic as the anchor, we notice that there is no limit to knowledge. Evolution has been bringing order to the surrounding disorder by trial and error. Now that evolution has culminated in sentient humans, it is obvious that the  trial and error mode is being replaced by a sentient approach for future evolution.

Science has done a great job in the investigation of the physical aspects of this universe. It has come up with many physical laws. However, science has lagged behind in the investigation of the metaphysical aspects of this universe. We must now come up with metaphysical laws that are as precise as the physical laws in order to evolve further.

Man as the most evolved organism must discover, understand and follow the basic laws of the universe to evolve further.

Dianetics Axioms 46 – 60

September 17, 2016 – 1:43 PM
scientologydynamics

Reference: The Dianetics Axioms

L. Ron Hubbard found that man is obeying very definite laws and rules which could be set forward in axioms. The very first and most fundamental of these is: The dynamic principle of existence is survive. That is the basic axiom of Dianetics.

The original Dianetic axioms are referenced below in black.

In color are corresponding axioms as seen through Postulate Mechanics (PM).

.

Executive Summary 2025

As viruses and cells aggregate they evolve into higher life organisms and acquire greater abilities. “Life” is the coordinated motion of complex configurations of substance. The center of such coordination of motion develops into a mind.

The mind confuses present circumstances with past experiences that did not get assimilated. This presents anomalies. The purpose of the mind becomes the resolution of anomalies by assimilating sensations from the past in the present. Failure to do so can lead to the extinction of the life organism.

An organism evolves by overcoming the obstacles opposing its efforts on the various dynamics. It makes effort to control the environment by the support of pro-survival factors present. Such pro-survival factors include the ecosystems formed by life organisms.

.

Axioms 46-60

DN AXIOM 46: Colonial aggregations of viruses and cells can be imbued with more THETA than they inherently contained.

Life energy joins any group, whether a group of organisms or group of cells composing an organism. Here we have personal entity, individuation, etc.

The inherent motion of substance evolves from simple, mechanical motion within minerals to complex, self-animated motion within viruses and cells. This complex, self-animated motion imparts separate and individual life to the organisms.

PM AXIOM 46: Colonial aggregations of viruses and cells acquire more complex self-animation.

.

DN AXIOM 47: Effort can be accomplished by LAMBDA only through the coordination of its parts toward goals.

PM AXIOM 47: Living organisms coordinate their parts towards the accomplishment of greater goals.

.

DN AXIOM 48: An organism is equipped to be governed and controlled by a mind.

PM AXIOM 48: An organism evolves a mind to govern and control its activities.

.

DN AXIOM 49: The purpose of the mind is to pose and resolve problems relating to survival and to direct the effort of the organism according to these solutions.

PM AXIOM 49: The purpose of the mind is to direct the effort of the organism to resolve anomalies in order to evolve.

.

DN AXIOM 50: All problems are posed and resolved through estimations of effort.

PM AXIOM 50: All problems breakdown into anomalies and resolved through closer looking.

.

DN AXIOM 51: The mind can confuse position in space with position in time. (Counter-efforts producing action phrases.)

PM AXIOM 51: The mind can confuse present circumstances with past unassimilated experiences.

.

DN AXIOM 52: An organism proceeding toward survival is directed by the mind of that organism in the accomplishment of survival effort.

PM AXIOM 52: An organism that is evolving is directed by its mind to do so.

.

DN AXIOM 53: An organism proceeding toward succumb is directed by the mind of that organism in the accomplishment of death.

PM AXIOM 53: An organism proceeding toward extinction is directed by the mind to do so.

.

DN AXIOM 54: Survival of an organism is accomplished by the overcoming of efforts opposing its survival.

(Note: Corollary for other dynamics.)

PM AXIOM 54: An organism evolves by overcoming the obstacles opposing its efforts on the dynamics.

.

DN AXIOM 55: Survival effort for an organism includes the dynamic thrust by that organism for the survival of itself, its procreation, its group, its subspecies, its species, all life organisms, material universe, the life static and, possibly, a Supreme Being.

(Note: List of dynamics.)

The life static is the static viewpoint or detached awareness; whereas the Supreme Being is the ultimate goal of Oneness. Rest of the dynamics provide different dimensions of evolution.

PM AXIOM 55: An organism evolves by putting out efforts on its various dynamics.

.

DN AXIOM 56: The cycle of an organism, a group of organisms or a species is inception, growth, re-creation, decay and death.

PM AXIOM 56: All dynamics go through the cycle of inception, growth, re-creation, decay and death.

.

DN AXIOM 57: The effort of an organism is directed toward the control of the environment for all the dynamics.

PM AXIOM 57: The organism makes effort to control the environment for all the dynamics.

.

DN AXIOM 58: Control of an environment is accomplished by the support of pro-survival factors along any dynamic.

PM AXIOM 58: Control of an environment is accomplished by the support of pro-survival factors along any dynamic.

.

DN AXIOM 59: Any type of higher organism is accomplished by the evolution of viruses and cells into forms capable of better efforts to control or live in an environment.

PM AXIOM 59: Higher organisms evolve from viruses and cells as forms capable of better efforts to control or live in an environment.

.

DN AXIOM 60: The usefulness of an organism is determined by its ability to control the environment or to support organisms which control the environment.

PM AXIOM 60: The usefulness of an organism is determined by its ability to control the environment or to support organisms which control the environment.

The Fundamental Error in Dianetics

September 15, 2016 – 11:31 AM

americanscientist01

Reference: A Critique of Scientology Philosophy

The following is a quote from introduction to The Dianetic Axioms:

“L. Ron Hubbard found that man is obeying very, very definite laws and rules which could be set forward in axioms. The very first and most fundamental of these is: The dynamic principle of existence is survive. That is the basic axiom of Dianetics.”

The scientific observations show that the dynamic principle of this universe could be considered as “change”, because everything in this universe is in motion (always changing). It is theorized that motion may come to rest at the temperature of absolute zero. But the universe is not at a temperature of absolute zero. As far as, science is concerned, everything in this universe is continually changing at all levels.

However, the natural tendency of motion seems to attain some kind of equilibrium. It is like bodies at different temperatures, when brought in contact, tend towards a single equilibrium temperature. But the “equilibrium” in case of the universe seems to be returning to continuity, harmony and consistency after being disturbed. This is explained in greater details in the essay, Self-Determinism and Laws of the Universe.

So, from a broad scientific viewpoint,  the dynamic principle of this universe seems to be “change toward greater continuity, harmony and consistency after being disturbed.”

The word “survive” is used broadly to mean “to remain or continue in existence or use”, as in the sentence, “Ancient farming methods still survive in the Middle East.” Or, in the sentence. “Few survived after the holocaust.” But to regard “survive” as a dynamic principle of existence, would mean “there is a state that continues as it is throughout all changes unconditionally”. This is not so in reality.

In Dianetics, the human soul or beingness is assumed to “survive” unconditionally. This is an idea borrowed from Christianity where human soul is thought to be immortal. That is a subjective consideration, and not a dynamic principle of existence. Thus, Hubbard is considering “survive” from a limited human-centric viewpoint and not from a universal viewpoint.

It would be an error to consider “survive” as a scientific principle applying to all existence as it is subjective and vague.

Scientifically, the dynamic principle of existence is CHANGE toward greater continuity, harmony and consistency as the universe evolves.

Applying this scientific principle to Dianetics may bring about some interesting understanding about the condition of Man.

Dianetics Axioms 31 – 45

September 14, 2016 – 5:49 PM
dianetics-logo1

Reference: The Dianetics Axioms

L. Ron Hubbard found that man is obeying very definite laws and rules which could be set forward in axioms. The very first and most fundamental of these is: The dynamic principle of existence is survive. That is the basic axiom of Dianetics.

The original Dianetic axioms are referenced below in black.

In color are corresponding axioms as seen through Postulate Mechanics (PM).

.

Executive Summary 2025

The effort of life organisms at any moment is to spot and resolve anomalies. While rightness is made up of efforts that lead towards oneness, wrongness is associated with efforts that generate more anomalies than they resolve. An organism engaged in evolutionary efforts feels joy; but it feels pain when it is thwarted in its evolution, or when it engages in non-survival activity.

The ultimate goal of living organisms is to continue to evolve. Death is a normal aspect of continuing evolution. An organism’s efforts are highly complex and reasoned, and assisted or opposed by other organisms and environment. But, upon death, only simpler motion persists in the lower level configurations that remain.

The cell and virus are the primary building blocks of life organisms. They aggregate into colonies to increase potential motion and accomplish effort. The goal of viruses and cells is to evolve into higher level organisms.

.

Axioms 31-45

DN AXIOM 31: Wrongness is always miscalculation of effort.

PM AXIOM 31: Wrongness is increase in the disarray of motion due to fixed ideas.

.

DN AXIOM 32: THETA can exert itself directly or extensionally.

THETA can direct physical application of the organism to the environment or, through the mind, can first calculate the action or extend, as in language, ideas.

PM AXIOM 32: The life organism can exert itself directly, or indirectly through other organisms.

.

DN AXIOM 33: Conclusions are directed toward the inhibition, maintenance or accelerations of efforts.

PM AXIOM 33: Conclusions are directed toward the inhibition, maintenance or accelerations of efforts.

.

DN AXIOM 34: The common denominator of all life organisms is motion.

PM AXIOM 34: The common denominator of all life organisms is motion.

.

DN AXIOM 35: Effort of an organism to survive or succumb is physical motion of a life organism at a given moment in time through space.

DEFINITION: Motion is any change in orientation in space.
DEFINITION: Force is random effort.
DEFINITION: Effort is directed force.

PM AXIOM 35: The motion of life organisms at any moment indicates its effort to survive or succumb.

.

DN AXIOM 36: An organism’s effort can be to remain at rest or persist in a given motion.

Static state has position in time, but an organism which is remaining positionally in a static state, if alive, is still continuing a highly complex pattern of motion, such as the heartbeat, digestion, etc.

The efforts of organisms to survive or succumb are assisted, compelled or opposed by the efforts of other organisms, matter, energy, space and time.

DEFINITION: Attention is a motion which must remain at an optimum effort. Attention is aberrated by becoming unfixed and sweeping at random or becoming too fixed without sweeping.

Unknown threats to survival when sensed cause attention to sweep without fixing. Known threats to survival when sensed cause attention to fix.

PM AXIOM 36: An organism’s effort can be to remain at rest as in equilibrium, or persist in a given motion.

An attribute of higher level organisms is attention. Attention is a motion which must remain at an optimum effort. Attention is aberrated by sweeping at random or becoming too fixed.

Unknown threats to survival when sensed cause attention to sweep. Known threats to survival when sensed cause attention to fix.

.

DN AXIOM 37: The ultimate goal of LAMBDA is infinite survival.

PM AXIOM 37: The ultimate goal of living organisms is to continue to evolve.

.

DN AXIOM 38: Death is abandonment by THETA of a life organism or race or species where these can no longer serve THETA in its goals of infinite survival.

PM AXIOM 38: Death of a life organism or its race or species is a normal aspect of continuing evolution.

.

DN AXIOM 39: The reward of an organism engaging upon survival activity is pleasure.

PM AXIOM 39: An organism engaged in evolutionary efforts feels joy.

.

DN AXIOM 40: The penalty of an organism failing to engage upon survival activity, or engaging in non-survival activity, is pain.

PM AXIOM 40: An organism feels pain, when it is thwarted in its evolution, or when it engages in non-survival activity, .

.

DN AXIOM 41: The cell and virus are the primary building blocks of life organisms.

PM AXIOM 41: The cell and virus are the primary building blocks of life organisms.

.

DN AXIOM 42: The virus and cell are matter and energy animated and motivated in space and time by THETA.

PM AXIOM 42: The virus and cell are animated and motivated by the complex motion inherent to their configuration.

.

DN AXIOM 43: THETA mobilizes the virus and cell in colonial aggregations to increase potential motion and accomplish effort.

PM AXIOM 43: The virus and cell aggregate into colonies to increase potential motion and accomplish effort.

.

DN AXIOM 44: The goal of viruses and cells is survival in space through time.

PM AXIOM 44: The goal of viruses and cells is to evolve into higher level organisms.

Dianetics Axioms 16 – 30

September 14, 2016 – 6:07 AM
lronhubbard-dianetics-isbn1403105464-cover

Reference: The Dianetics Axioms

L. Ron Hubbard found that man is obeying very definite laws and rules which could be set forward in axioms. The very first and most fundamental of these is: The dynamic principle of existence is survive. That is the basic axiom of Dianetics.

The original Dianetic axioms are referenced below in black.

In color are corresponding axioms as seen through Postulate Mechanics (PM).

.

Executive Summary 2025

The higher life organisms are supported by lower ones. Together they bring changes in the environment and to themselves toward greater oneness. This requires a harmonious rate of interaction.

The basic purpose of reason is to resolve violations of oneness in perception and understanding. These violations are anomalies, such as, discontinuities, inconsistencies, and disharmonies. The mind is the command post of the organism. It is concerned wholly with the resolution of anomalies.

The reason fails when it is fixated on (identified with) some aspect of the universe and fails to recognize anomalies. Rightness is made up of efforts that lead towards oneness.

.

Axioms 16-30

DN AXIOM 16: The basic food of any organism consists of light and chemicals.

Organisms can exist only as higher levels of complexities because lower levels of converters exist.
THETA evolves organisms from lower to higher forms and supports them by the existence of lower converter forms.

PM AXIOM 16: The lowest level organisms evolves from light and chemicals. They form a food chain to sustain higher level organisms.

.

DN AXIOM 17: THETA, via LAMBDA, effects an evolution of MEST.

In this we have the waste products of organisms on the one hand as those very complex chemicals which bacteria make and, on the other hand, we have the physical face of the Earth being changed by animals and men, such changes as grass holding mountains from eroding or roots causing boulders to break, buildings being built and rivers being dammed. There is obviously an evolution in MEST in progress under the incursion of THETA.

PM AXIOM 17: Life organisms effect an evolution of its environment on a large scale.

.

DN AXIOM 18: LAMBDA, even within a species, varies in its endowment of THETA.

THETA is the vector resulting from the assimilation of all inherent motion. Theta is a variable where an organism’s inherent motion is concerned.

PM AXIOM 18: Life organisms, even within a species, vary in their inherent motion and capabilities.

.

DN AXIOM 19: The effort of LAMBDA is toward survival. The goal of LAMBDA is survival. The penalty of failure to advance toward that goal is to succumb.

DEFINITION: Persistence is the ability to exert continuance of effort toward survival goals.

This is a universe of change. A form appears, survives for some time, and then disappears. No form survives forever. Therefore, the natural goal in this universe is evolution. As forms evolve they survive better.

PM AXIOM 19: The effort of life organism is to achieve survival goals to evolve. It succumbs when it fails to do so. 

.

DN AXIOM 20: LAMBDA creates, conserves, maintains, requires, destroys, changes, occupies, groups and disperses MEST.

LAMBDA survives by animating and mobilizing or destroying matter and energy in space and time.

PM AXIOM 20: The life organism evolves by interacting with its environment in various ways.

.

DN AXIOM 21: LAMBDA is dependent upon optimum motion. Motion which is too swift and motion which is too slow are equally contra survival.

Life organism must maintain a harmonious rate of interaction with their environment. When this rate is too swift or too slow it works against their survival.

PM AXIOM 21: The survival of life organism depends upon a harmonious rate of motion.

.

DN AXIOM 22: THETA and thought are similar orders of static.

THETA is the static viewpoint. Thought comes about when postulates occur to explain what is there.

PM AXIOM 22: THETA is the static viewpoint. Thought is the basic substance of what is viewed.

.

DN AXIOM 23: All thought is concerned with motion.

What is there is sensed as something dynamic. Thought begins as postulates to provide perception to that dynamic sensation.

PM AXIOM 23: All thought is concerned with perceiving what is there.

.

DN AXIOM 24: The establishment of an optimum motion is a basic goal of reason.

DEFINITION: LAMBDA is a chemical heat engine existing in space and time motivated by the life static and directed by thought.

Thought is the basic fabric that dynamically constructs point by point what is there to be perceived. It brings about consistency of perception. This is the basic goal of reason. This fabric of thought hardens into radiation and matter and give structure to the life organism.

PM AXIOM 24: The basic goal of reason is to establish maximum continuity, consistency and harmony.

.

DN AXIOM 25: The basic purpose of reason is the calculation or estimation of effort.

Thought recognizes where oneness is violated. It then postulates and assimilates all the postulates to bring about oneness of perception. This is how reason functions.

PM AXIOM 25: The basic purpose of reason is to resolve violations of oneness by postulating and assimilating all postulates.

.

DN AXIOM 26: Thought is accomplished by THETA FACSIMILES of physical universe, entities or actions.

Life organisms maintain a mental matrix in which all sensations received by the organism are assimilated. Thoughts are generated when perceptions cannot be assimilated due to anomalies (discontinuities, inconsistencies, and disharmonies). The goal of these thoughts is accomplished when the anomalies are resolved.

PM AXIOM 26: Thought is accomplished when the anomalies (discontinuities, inconsistencies, and disharmonies) observed by the organism are resolved.

.

DN AXIOM 27: THETA is satisfied only with harmonious action or optimum motion and rejects or destroys action or motion above or below its tolerance band.

PM AXIOM 27: Evolution in this universe requires eliminating all extremely slow or sudden shifts in motion and establishing harmonious action.

.

DN AXIOM 28: The mind is concerned wholly with the estimation of effort.

DEFINITION: Mind is the THETA command post of any organism or organisms.

The reason is applied through the mental matrix of the life organism, which is concerned wholly with the resolution of anomalies. Therefore, the mental matrix may be regarded as the command post of the life organism.

PM AXIOM 28: The mind is the command post of the organism, which is concerned wholly with the resolution of anomalies.

.

DN AXIOM 29: The basic errors of reason are failure to differentiate amongst matter, energy, space and time.

PM AXIOM 29: The reason fails when it is fixated on (identified with) some aspect of the universe and fails to recognize anomalies.

.

DN AXIOM 30: Rightness is proper calculation of effort.

PM AXIOM 30: Rightness is increase in alignment of motion.
