Summary
Hubbard says, “Time could be considered to be the single arbitrary, and might thus be the single source of human aberration.” According to Hubbard, a person is influenced by his past that is recorded on a time-track. The recordings influencing him adversely are the result of “randomity.” Hubbard defines “randomity” as the misalignment of efforts within an organism caused by internal or external factors, including other forms of life or the material universe. In other words, a person’s aberrations are caused by impressions that have not been assimilated.
According to Hubbard, “time has demonstrated it to be the action of energy in space, and it has been found that the duration of an object roughly approximates its solidity.” In other words, the condensation of energy brings about the solidity of matter, and along with it duration and time. In human terms, the condensation of doingness brings about the solidity of havingness and time.
It is insightful of Hubbard to associate time with duration of substance. As the substance condenses from thought in the direction of matter, its motion reduces and the duration increases. In human dimension this would be equivalent to increase in the fixation of attention. As the fixation becomes more solid, the human behavior becomes increasingly stimulus-response. As the auditor addresses the fixations of a person and helps him resolve them, his sense of time improves and his responses to situations become faster.
Such a fixation is observed in a criminal mind where the process of desiring, investment of energy, and having is short-circuited. The criminal skips the necessity of working to have.

Comments
MEST is the spectrum of substance that is condensing from thought to energy to matter. Time is the degree of condensation that appears as the duration of substance. As the substance condenses, its duration increases.
In human terms, time is the degree of condensation of attention that appears as fixation. As the attention condenses, its fixation increases. Thus comes about the stimulus-response characteristic of the human aberration and its duration.
There is nothing wrong with having or possessing objects as long as you do not get obsessively attached to them.
