Summary
Hubbard says, “The entire subject of perception is the subject of energy.” Actually, perception comes about when the sensations break up and get assimilated into the mental matrix of experience of the person. If the sensations are too condensed to be broken up, as in the case of a trauma, then there is no perception. There is only pain and mystery. The perception begins to diminish as the person goes down the tone scale, because his sensations are more condensed.
Hubbard says, “The rehabilitation of perception is essentially the rehabilitation of force.” The rehabilitation of perception comes from breaking up of sensations so they can be assimilated. It may be said that the sensations are made up of force. The person puts his attention on these sensations lightly and moves it around until the sensations start to loosen and break up into elements that can be assimilated. Hubbard calls it creative processing when the person makes postulates to make sense out of these sensations.
Hubbard uses the phrase, “the rehabilitation of the preclear’s ability to handle energy.” The person is faced with the blackness of condensed sensations. He is using postulation to loosen these sensations. This is more or less a process of trial and error. One is trying to find the right postulate that would dissolve the blackness. The principle of oneness applies. This is creative processing.

Comments
The principle of oneness, as described earlier, is the continuity, consistency and harmony of all reality. This principle helps a person identify spots of blackness as discontinuities, inconsistencies and disharmonies. These spots of blackness are also called anomalies.
This principle of oneness is essential to handling blackness through creative postulation.
